For all the punching masterminds out there

[Vuk]

The padding in MMA gloves is mostly positioned by the knuckles to dissipate the majority of the force.

You punch harder with boxing gloves on. You are lying.

UFC fighters often still break their hands, there's been talk about switching to heavier gloves for years. Boxers still break their hands too, although not as often.

Your head is pretty solid, guys. It can take a hit. The gloves are for the hands.

Were just a few of the posts. Everyone on the thread was either arguing that less padding=less damage or were agreeing with them.
