Difference between Mexican boxing gloves and boxing gloves?
The general consensus is that the padding is distributed more evenly over the entire glove, allowing the weight to remain the same, but to have less padding over the knuckles, allowing punches to have more impact. The downside to this is that since the glove isn’t so bulbous around the fist, it’s harder to block punches with the glove. Mexican gloves are traditionally made out of goatskin whereas American and Thai gloves are made from cowhide.
