Hey everyone,

I've been boxing for about 5 months, and have been sparring for about a month now. I own a pair of Ringside Arrow 16 oz. sparring gloves, but I've been having some problems with them. I feel like they don't really provide my knuckles with adequate protection, and that my hand shifts in the glove a lot.

I came across a bit of cash so I'm thinking that I'm going to buy a pair of higher quality gloves that will last me a while. I'm looking for a pair that affords me a good amount of knuckle protection, can be used for semi-regular bag/mitt work, and are between $100-150. I'm currently debating between a pair of either Rivals RS2Vs or Hayabusa Ikusas.

Given that they're both roughly around the same price mark, what glove would you recommend? Alternative brands or gloves are cool too, but I'd like to know why you're recommending them.

Thanks in advance!
