Alright, let’s talk about these onyx boxing gloves, you know, the ones them young folks are always yappin’ about. I don’t know much about boxin’ myself, but I seen a thing or two in my days, and I can tell ya what’s what.
First off, what in tarnation is “onyx” anyway? Sounds fancy. I reckon it’s just a color, like black or somethin’. So, we’re talkin’ ‘bout black boxing gloves, got it? Now, these gloves, they ain’t just for show, ya hear? They’re for hittin’ stuff, and hittin’ it hard, or so I’m told.
Them youngsters, they tell me there’s different kinds of gloves for different things. Like, some are for training, and some are for, well, I guess for real fightin’. I seen some gloves at the store the other day, big ol’ clunky things. They said “Training Boxing Gloves” right on ‘em. And then there was a button that said “Select Options”. Guess you gotta pick what kind of whoopin’ you wanna give, huh?
- Training gloves, them’s the ones you use to practice. You know, hittin’ the bags and such. Gotta learn how to punch before you go around punchin’ people, I reckon.
- Then there’s sparring gloves, a little softer, so you don’t knock your partner silly. Still hurts, I bet, but not as bad as the real deal.
- And then, the fightin’ gloves. Them’s the ones you see on TV, the ones they use to knock each other out. Now, them boys on TV, they use small gloves, like ten ounces or somethin’. Heard tell that a fella named Mayweather, he uses them ten-ounce gloves. Makes the punch a little softer, they say, ‘bout forty percent less punch than if you just hit someone with your bare fist. But still, forty percent of a hard punch is still a pretty good wallop, if you ask me. They say them little gloves are good for fellas in the welterweight class, whatever that is. Skinny fellas, I guess.
Now, when you’re pickin’ out these onyx boxing gloves, or any gloves for that matter, you gotta think about what you’re gonna use ‘em for. You just messin’ around, tryin’ to get in shape? Then get some big ol’ trainin’ gloves. They’ll protect your hands and your partner’s face. You plannin’ on bein’ a real boxer? Well, then you gotta talk to a trainer, someone who knows what they’re doin’. They’ll tell you what size gloves to get, what kind of padding, all that fancy stuff.
I heard tell that the padding in them gloves is real important. Too much padding, and you won’t feel nothin’. Too little, and you’ll break your hand. And you don’t want that, no sirree. Gotta find that happy medium, just like with everything else in life.
And don’t forget the fit. Them gloves gotta fit snug, but not too tight. You want to be able to make a fist, but you don’t want your fingers goin’ numb. And you want to be able to move your wrists, so you can throw a good punch. I seen a fella try to box with gloves that were too big, looked like he was tryin’ to swat flies with pillows. Not very effective, let me tell ya.
So, there you have it. A little bit of common sense about these onyx boxing gloves. They’re black, they’re for punchin’, and you gotta pick the right ones for the job. And remember, boxin’ ain’t just about hittin’ hard. It’s about bein’ smart, bein’ quick, and havin’ good gloves. Now go on, get yourself some gloves and start punchin’ somethin’, but be careful, ya hear? You don’t wanna end up lookin’ like a mashed potato.
One last thing, them boxing gloves, they ain’t cheap. You gotta spend a few dollars to get a good pair. But don’t go breakin’ the bank, neither. There’s plenty of good gloves out there that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Just gotta shop around, do your research, and don’t let nobody fool ya into buyin’ somethin’ you don’t need. And if you ain’t sure, ask someone who knows what they’re talkin’ about. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, that’s how you learn. And that’s all I gotta say about these onyx boxing gloves.
Remember now, safety first. Don’t go punchin’ nothin’ you ain’t supposed to, and always wear your gloves. And if you ever see me comin’ at ya with a pair of onyx boxing gloves, well, you better start runnin’, cause I might just be lookin’ to try ‘em out!
