AN excellent pair of gloves from Title. A well cushioned padded feel all round the fist and knuckles makes these gloves perfect for heavy training sessions on bags or pads as well as sparring. The tri-layer foam padding is thick and solid.

The strap is fastened round the wrist, extending quite far, which gives the wrist good support. The Velcro fastening also means it can be tightened securely and quickly and easily. (Most helpful when you don’t have someone to tie up the laces on a top quality pair of gloves.)

The design of these also looks quite modern, the well stitched finish makes these gloves are durable.

These also boast Title’s own Gel Enforced Lining. The company explains: “GEL lining delivers a winning layer of custom form fit and impact resistance for all the power, protection and high performance you demand for training and sparring. Added GEL insets over the top of the fist and down the back of the wrist provide added effectiveness and class. Additional full-length GEL infused palm and extended back cuff offer additional defensive coverage, blocking punches and wrist stability.”

The interior also feels comfortable on your hands. The hand compartment is designed to wick moisture away and keep your hands cool and dry.

Emblazoned on the palm they even have the encouraging slogan ‘Hit it hard’. A great pair of gloves that have proved popular in the Boxing News office. The 16oz pair is ideal for sparring and all kinds of training.

These cost $119. Visit www.titleboxing.com to see more.
