RUSSIAN BOXER 14oz The Russian boxing company Russian Boxer manufactures gloves in Mexico. They are made of genuine leather, with latex foam used as packing, which is very soft and moderately elastic. The skin is not rough to the touch, smooth and pleasant, has a pronounced specific smell, unlike other gloves. You can guess the Russian Boxer only from one smell. The profile of the glove is large and with a declared weight of 14oz, it weighs 18oz, but at the same time the glove is very balanced and boxing in them is comfortable, the weight is not very noticeable. I think that the excess is in the elongated massive cuff. The fit of the hand is very comfortable, it does not tighten anywhere. I want to note that this fit is especially suitable for those with a large hand size. The thumb is sewn anotomically correctly and protected as much as possible. We press and open the fist is one of the best in my collection, unrealistically steep. The impact surface is not hard, the feeling of contact with the surface is the best, full impact of the blow, you feel how and with what phalanges it hits the target. After a week of training, the glove is much better. I liked the channel gaskets on the palm side, they are very dense and large, they dampen shocks well. Well, for me the most important thing here is the cuff, this glove uses a 4-inch double-turn Velcro, which fixes the wrist joint very tightly. This protects your hands as much as possible, but as for me, it is extremely inconvenient and I can't put them on quickly.After the first turn, I will definitely catch on the second one and a fold is obtained, I have to unfasten the first turn and re-tighten and fasten, while the Velcro is very tight and to unfasten, you need to make a little more effort. After a long and hard training, sometimes you have to ask a friend to disarm you🙂 In conclusion, I will say that I liked @russianboxer very much, I am very happy with this purchase. And if you are thinking about buying this glove or not, definitely buy it because these are high-quality, balanced and very pleasant gloves. Personally, I will definitely purchase another pair in the future, but I will ask the manufacturer to meet halfway and do it with ordinary Velcro in one turn.
