What glove fucks your face up the most?
When it comes to gloves in fighting there are few different types.
Mostly differentiated by weight.
The gloves has three roles...
Protecting ones hands when your beating the shit out of someone
Protecting the person you are beating the shit out of them
Providing weight... to make it more difficult... to beat the shit out of someone
So I'm going to go through the glove types in order of weight.

1. Hand Wraps

Although they aren't actually gloves, they still protect the hands.
They come in two forms, they can be long strips of fabric around two meters long, and the other is a pre made gel wrap. So one is a pain to put on and the other has gel in it.
They are normally worn for bag work or under other cloves for wrist support.
Aaaaaaaaannnndddddddddd you can have a mummified hand.
2. MMA Gloves (Grappling)
MMA gloves normally weigh around 4 oz- 6 oz
They are designed to be as lightweight as possible whilst still providing protection...
Whilst still being able to fuck people up...
They have an open palm design to allow the participants to grapple in a fight or during sparring, however the fingers are exposed which makes accidental eye gouges a possibility.
3. MMA gloves (Sparring)

Sparring (Hybrid) gloves have a very similar build to MMA gloves and heavier boxing gloves combining the open palm design and a large protective barrier over the knuckles and metatarsals.
They are designed to fuck up your opponent a bit less than grappling gloves as there is more material in the way.
4. Boxing Gloves

Much heavier and they cover the entire hand including the thumb. They also have more wrist support. They are separated by weight starting at 8oz to 16oz.
The weight of a glove can drastically effect a match as having a lighter glove can increase punching endurance. They provide a lot more protection compared to a MMA glove.
