VenumUnisex's Contender 2.0 Boxing Gloves

great quality

Love it

I bought these gloves for combatives sparring and working a heavy bag.The price was good, the brand is well known, and they look pretty cool too. They arrived, and I strapped them on and beat on my heavy bag for a while. I'm very happy with the padding and the fit.The only gripe? The VENUM patch on the strap was installed upside down on one of the gloves. Took me a while to notice it, so it's not a glaring issue. But for the price I paid, it doesn't bother me. And if my opponent notices, it just means I'm not hitting him hard enough :)

I waited about six months before reviewing these, which I feel is the responsible thing to do as an informative reviewer. At first, I would have given these five stars, but they begin to fall apart (only on the inside though). regardless, I'm still using them. I punch very hard, and these guys offer enough protection. The fit is snug, and the overall design is perfect - there are no strange spaces inside the glove so your hand fits in very well. Unfortunately, Venum should invest in some slightly better lining for the inside. Otherwise, this would have been a five-star review.

These are entry-level gloves from a major brand. They look very cool, but they lack padding and any meaningful ventilation.My knuckles were taking quite a beating from even not that intense work. I had to return them and get the Elite version. The Elites turned out to be twice as expensive, but also twice better with respect to padding, wrist support, and ventilation.

Gloves are in general made from a very good quality and didn't brake at the usual places like my first Title gloves did (between a thumb and an index finger; at the end of your fingers on the outside).Good for sparring too! Thanks to extra padding at the knucles area, it's kinda comfortable 16oz.BUT! After daily use for mostly pad/bag work (also want to add that I cut my nails very often) for not even 2 months, the inside material around your ends of your fingers broke, there's a hole now. Nothing to be worried about tho, they still work perfectly. But it's not comfortable to have around your fingers those "white things" that are in extra padding area.Will use for light fitness kick/boxing now only, probably will buy the elite ones for sparring.

I love these boxing gloves. I am a 5'3" 125lb woman who hits the bag really hard so these are great as far as padding and support for my wrist. I do end up looking a little like wreck it Ralph bc they are wider than my other gloves, but my other gloves aren't nearly as comfy as these so it doesn't bother me. I get compliments all the time on them and will definitely buy another when the time comes.
