I'm not doubting that MMA gloves hurt more, I'm just saying that traditional boxing gloves cut more.

What gloves they use depends entirely on what they're working on. Like striking, they'd use sparring gloves. MMA sparring, they'd use MMA sparring gloves (same thing, just more padding. Ususally 7 - 8 oz).

Still here huh? I thought you hated this place.

You remind me of a domesticly abused woman. Just keep getting beat, yet still come back for more.

You remind me of the kid in 3rd grade who pooped his drawers on the field trip.

Were you the one who looked down his pants to check?

Good point.

I've watched every episode of The Ultimate Fighter (well, almost) and they always wear boxing gloves to spar with.

Even boxers train with 16 oz gloves when they spar instead of the 10 or 12 oz gloves they will wear when they actually fight. I have an uncle who is into boxing and he told me this.

Both cut. Boxing gloves are stickier and will stick to your skin and stretch and tear it, MMA gloves will scratch you with the seams around the fingers. I would rather get punched with a boxing glove than an MMA glove in the face. There is a rebound factor that really moves your head a lot when the boxing glove compresses and expands... but an MMA glove feels like someone hit you in the head with a rock.

getting hit clean on the chin, mma gloves with do more damage, but as far to the face, taking multiple punches from the boxing gloves will hurt more

Of course a hit will be the same force with both types of gloves.

The test considers force, force is NOT a measurement of pain.

When someone says "harder" what do they mean, force impact or pain? I would think pain, who cares a shit about force all we care about is how much does it hurt right?

The difference is that with a boxing glove the force is spread over a larger area than an MMA glove, therefore even if you receive a full impact with the entire area of a boxing glove the impact is really less, needless to say the impact with an MMA glove due to delivering the same force over a smaller area, AND with less pading results in a higher impact/pain.

Boxing gloves hit much harder than mma ones

there is just alot more force in a 16oz glove than there is in a 4oz

what hurts most? the mma one I would bet

No, there is MMA sparring gloves aswell. They don't use your standard 16oz gloves because you can't grapple or anything with them.

I don't see why this is such a huge debate. MMA gloves concentrate the force on one certain area, whereas traditional boxing gloves spread the impact over a larger area.

It's still the same amount of force.

This is true, but only after you've been sparring/fighting for a while. You gotta be sweating.

There is more knockout power with a boxing glove, anyone that has been hit in the jaw with one knows this.
