what's the difference between this and the Pro Style MMA Boxing Glove?

This one will last you all of three days bit the others will hold up through more abuse I personally recommend getting venum or hayabusa gloves they are more expensive but they will hold up for years

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

I do not believe so,unless specified otherwise, most competition gloves are lace up closure, these are what is referee to as Velcro, or hook and loop closure, generally banned in competition due to the Velcro being "scratchy."

I wouldn't recommend these gloves for muay Thai. These are more for entry level heavy bag boxing training

What's the difference between these and the lock jaw pro and olympic collars?

I have no idea what the "Pro" version is but if there's anything pro about it it's that you have to remember what everything goes or write it down on the mat. It's simple and keeps things held and separated but nothing fancy beyond that.

That's actually the reason I bought mine. For sparring and such. It works well and is durable. Softens the blows while proving to be durable and easy to maneuver in.

There is a grip bar made of a soft material for this model. The earlier versions had a hard plastic grip bar sewed into the palm portion of the glove.

I think they use smaller gloves in Muay Thai. These gloves don't have a lot of wrist support. For boxing I'd get ones that have velcro straps going all the way around, not just half way.

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

I used these for a brief time and thought they were okay. Wish I had tried the regular boxing gloves to compare them too. I think you may need something with more padding for use 4-5 days per week.

Those type of gloves can be used for sparring, but they have to be 16oz. For competition, you need the lace up's.

I have small hands and these fit perfect. What I learned when I started boxing is that the gloves are all about the same size but they are different weights. I have this pair and a 14oz pair. Both fit the same but the extra padding in the heavier pair slows me down and I don't care for it. As long as you properly wrap your hands before putting the gloves on you should be good with these. I love mine!

Not too sure about the pro version. It honestly looks the same other than this one having the grips on the sides. I just like the way it handles. Quick easy and painless!

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

There is no differences in preformance. It is if you like a more cushion feel or a not when you make contact wth the ball. I personally like the thinnest grip to feel immediately how the ball made contact with the bat. I would say Miken, Worth, DeMarini, Louisville Slugger all use a grip similar to Lizard Skins 1.1 mm. Easton uses a thinner cloth-like grip.

I believe so, if you do not want to bother wrapping your hands all the time. I feel very comfortable hitting a heavy bag all the time. I have prior boxing injuries and so far I have felt no pain in my wrist or hands. Highly recommend for beginners.
