MMA Pro Fight Gloves - Piranha Gear Review

First off, let me just say that on a consumer relations level, Piranha is outstanding. If you have any problems with any equipment, let them know, and they will replace or whatever any gear you need if the size is off, or the quality is off, etc.

For the gloves, the price is great considering what else is out there, but as with many things, you get what you pay for. They are adequate bag gloves, but for MMA competitions (where you can't wrap your fingers), you'll find that the gloves wear into your second set of knuckles and don't provide good padding from halfway between the knuckles and the first joint of the finger down because the padding tends to ride up over time. Maybe my punching technique is just off, but things happen either way and I'm eventually going to replace these with something of a higher quality.

But once again, these disadvantages are offset for the price. I wouldn't expect $35 gloves to compete with an $85 pair; for their "weight class", they are on top.

UPDATE (20090512): Did an MMA sparring match with the gloves. Since I make my money on the ground with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the massive bulge of padding along the knuckles made it difficult to slip my hand through my opponent's defenses. While this heavy knuckle padding works well for the bag (except around the lower knuckles, this is where wrapping comes in), in practice it doesn't work too well in a sparring match where ground fighting is a possibility.
