Alright, let’s talk about these UFC boxing mitts, or whatever you wanna call ’em. You know, the things them fellas wear when they’re punchin’ each other. I seen ’em on the TV, all sweaty and grunting. Looks like a rough business, if you ask me.
First off, why do they even wear them gloves anyways? Well, I reckon it’s ’cause hittin’ someone with your bare knuckles ain’t too smart. You’ll break your hand, that’s what. These gloves, they got padding, see? Keeps your hands from gettin’ all busted up. Smart, I guess, if you’re gonna be punchin’ folks for a livin’.
Now, there’s all sorts of gloves, I hear. Big ones, small ones, some for trainin’, some for fightin’. They got these UFC ones, looks fancy. Says “UFC” right on ’em, so you know they’re the real deal, I suppose. They got ‘em for the grown-up fellas, and even the little tykes. Seen some advertised for kids, they call ‘em “Youth” gloves. Start ‘em young, I guess.
- You got your sparring gloves, them big puffy ones. Good for practicin’, so you don’t knock your partner silly.
- Then you got your fightin’ gloves, smaller and harder. Them’s the ones they use in the ring, when they’re really tryin’ to knock each other out.
- And they got these things called “mitts” too. Not gloves, exactly, but somethin’ the trainer holds. Fella punches the mitts, gets his practice in.
How do you pick the right size, you ask? Well, that’s a whole ‘nother story. They got these charts, I hear, tellin’ you what size to get. Gotta measure your hand, I reckon. Too big, and the glove will be flappin’ around. Too small, and your hand will be all cramped up. Ain’t no good for punchin’ that way.
Where do you get these gloves? Well, you can go to a store, if you got one nearby. Or you can order ‘em online, I guess. Lots of places sellin’ ‘em, from what my grandson tells me. He’s always lookin’ at stuff on that computer of his. Says you can find just about anythin’ online these days.
And it ain’t just gloves, neither. They got all sorts of other gear for this fightin’ stuff. Pads and protectors, and all kinds of fancy things. My grandson calls it “combat training equipment.” Sounds like a whole lot of fuss to me. Back in my day, if you had a problem with someone, you just settled it in the schoolyard. No need for all this fancy gear.
But I guess times change, huh? These fellas, they make a livin’ out of fightin’. And if they wanna wear gloves and pads and all that, well, that’s their business. Just seems like a lot of work to me. All that punchin’ and kickin’, must be tirin’. I’d rather just sit on the porch and watch the birds, myself.
So, whether you’re some big-shot fighter or just startin’ out, you’re gonna need some gloves. And if you’re gonna get gloves, you might as well get good ones, I reckon. These UFC ones, they seem alright. At least that’s what my grandson says. He watches all that fightin’ stuff on TV. Me, I prefer a good soap opera, myself.
But hey, to each their own, right? If you wanna punch people, that’s your business. Just make sure you got the right gear, so you don’t hurt yourself. And maybe try not to punch too many people, okay? It ain’t nice.
Anyways, that’s about all I know about these here UFC boxing mitts. Hope it helps you out some. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got a pie in the oven that needs checkin’.
