It all depends on what you’ll be doing with your boxing gloves. If you will be doing only bag work, then most people choose bag gloves. These gloves have less padding and an open thumb. If you plan on boxing with a sparring partner or a real opponent, then you will need boxing gloves. These offer more padding to protect both you and the person you’re hitting, and they have enclosed thumbs.
Then there is the matter of lace boxing gloves versus Velcro strap. Lace boxing gloves offer a tighter, snugger fit but they do require help to put on. Velcro is more convenient option.
