Gloves are made for protecting the fist, not the oponent

Gloves protect hands. Not the head.

Who also get recommended this 11 years later

The thing is, the gloves distribute the weight across more surface area, where as a bare knuckles punch is more localized.

What am I doing I have homework to do lol

It’s one guy punching a bag once with each glove, there’s no way he punched with the same power. Best test would be to use a machine

Bye,see ya in 10 years when this is recommended

Who got this recommended 13 years later

couldnt they get a machine to punch the bag with the same force wearing different gloves? i love bas and all but this leaves too much room for human error

can someone explain why in boxing some punches look really flimsy, as if they barely scratched the person, yet 2 seconds later the person is KO'd...I'm guessing the feel of the punch is a LOT harder than what it looks like from a distance

The difference is in the kinetic delivery and distribution, which I don't know if they got into or not... But what it ACTUALLY means is that full boxing gloves delivery significantly more blunt-force/concussive impact compared to MMA gloves more localized force. So, while MMA gloves will be noticably more effective at dermal trauma, as well as being more likely to damage skeletal structures (due to having a finer "point" of impact), you're far more likely to experience *concussive* damage getting hit by a boxing glove due to the larger surface area and general blunt force impact. What that REALLY means is that MMA gloves are more likely to bust you up, while boxing gloves are more likely to rattle your brain (causing more long-term damage), despite the measurable force being relative/having a negligible difference.

1:01 *colossal titan*

0:25 He just dabbed

The force is equal but with a bigger glove the force will land on a bigger surface. With a smaller glove the force is concentrated on a smaller surface wich is more dangerous.

1:54 wtf is going on with this animation, I’m no boxer but I’m pretty sure boxing gloves aren’t supposed to have the thing like that

You cant just measure the force, you need to measure the force per square inch. That takes into account the surface area of the glove too.

0:43 and 2:05 - it DOES mean more protection, just not for the one being punched.

Dumbest test ever... the major difference is in how the hands are taped. Having done both I can tell you that you can hit a lot harder with boxing gloves because your hand and wrist are like in a cast. The tape under mma gloves is much less and less on the wrist. Your brain won't let you hit bare knuckle as hard as with a cast.

I'm just here to do research on how Askren could take punches from other MMA fighters and continue, but all it took was just a few from Jake Paul to knock him out.

You can see at the end with the comparison that he went through with the hook more when he punched with the boxing gloves. They should have done at least 5-10 punches with each and gotten an average, because what if one of these punches was an outlier, like what it on average the bare fisted one would actually get 100 higher but he wasn't used to punching the heavy bag bare fisted. It doesn't seem right that an MMA glove with 4 ounces for pros or 6 ounces for amateur would be give the same padding as a boxing glove with 10 or 12 ounce gloves, and I've used a variety of boxing gloves myself and the lighter ones tend to hit harder, and bare fisted obviously felt like it had the largest impact.

Why dont they use a machine that will hit with the same exact force each time, instead of a human whose force will always vary

Haha the attempt to replicate those animated boxing gloves at 1:51 is priceless...the super long thumbs thumbs are the best XD

Larger size gloves spread out the area the force is applied to. The size of the impact area is very important. Not just the Force. That's why scientists use PSI.

Both of them still hurt pretty bad. I tried it with my 97 year old grandma

Damn, this man fought with knuckles, a REAL fight in a street fight

funny, recommended before ksi n logan rematch.

Watching this after 9 years again because of recommendation, wow, feels emotional. Nostalgic.

*Whenever youtube recommends me this video, I just can't stop myself from watching it*

Only watching this because Conor mcgregor vs Floyd Mayweather

I like both boxing and mma. Stop fighting U guys. They are both intense and have great determined fighters.

Boxing gloves absorb impact with a larger surfice when contact, it also protect boxers' fist. However it isn't necessarily safer than MMA gloves, since, rather than having a knockout and ending a fight, it prolongs a fight and help induces many more small concussions, which is potentially more dangerous due to it's subtle threat to a fighter.

The reason the bare knuckle registered higher is its focused on a smaller area of the force pad. In reality you can punch much harder wearing boxing gloves because you're adding a pound of weight to your hand and you dont have to worry about breaking your knuckles.

"It depends on the fighter." **sigh** Nice YT recommendations btw

I rather get hit with a boxing glove then a mma glove any time of the day!

Me who never seen a video about mma or boxing. KZfaq 11 years later: recommendable

You can hit harder with confidence if you have more padding, though a fist would probably do a lot of damage as the bare knuckles are very hard and can cause lots of damage.

This is inaccurate. Force should not be the measurement used, but PSI.

MMA gloves KO easy because the force of the punch is concentrated on a smaller surface, which means it will add more impact. Sort of like poking someone with a sharp knife and blunt knife.

If this isn't the most 2010 segment ever, from the topic, to the graphics, to the narrator, its just 2010 all over lol

Thanks for the info.

the boxing gloves absorbs bone to bone shocks the force can be similar but the hurt you feel from boxing glove and mma is different even if both have same force

the gloves are supposed to protect your hand, not the guy getting punched. boxing gloves do protect hands better, mma fighters break their hands more. i'm pretty sure mma gloves hurt more since it's almost all knuckles. also consider that fact that its easier to block and cover up with big boxing gloves, compared to mma gloves which you can easily slip punches through anyone's block

Thanks for the video

bro its been more than 10 years. why was i recommended this

with the MMA glove you have far better contact with what you are hitting. Meaning, your hand has closer contact to the face, body, etc. Due to the boxing glove providing more protection, for the boxer when punching, together with hand wraps this enables him/her to hit harder than they would with MMA gloves. Purely down to the protection of the hand. In order to be as realistic as possible this, the hand wraps need to be factored in, and may be why there is only slightly more force in the MMA punching power. Also, the MMA glove is not designed, or suitable for heavy bag use so this test is effectively bunk. A sparring bob punching bag stand would be best suited, i.e man punching bag, to make this test as accurate as possible in hitting an actual human being.

"In gloves bigger isn't necessarily better" Am I the only one sensing an inuendo here xD

They nailed the function of the MMA glove allowing someone to grapple but still retain knockout power. Although they still allow eye pokes as well as aren't using any special foam.

Holy algorithm of KZfaq thank you for making me wiser once again.

Whats wrong with the thumbs in the animations ?

if this is right then manny pacquiao hits harder than bas lol his bare hand punch was 806 lbs of force

0:20 that sound of bareknuckel punch is gonna keep me awake

The whole almost 2 decade of my life i always thought gloves isade to protect the face of ppl who got punch. Only recently i know it was actually to protect the punchers hand

I guess that with more padding, you are less concerned over hurting your own knuckles but surely with lower surface area means higher pressure. So wouldn't that mean that punches to the softer parts of the body like the torso would have more damage?

They forgot to take into account that boxers also wrap there fist with a few inches of padding and tape underneath the glove, which adds considerably more force and impact.

Watching during quarantine..

Got recommended this 13 years later

I was suppose to go to sleep why am I watching this

One thing gloves do is take the "sting" out of a punch. The "sting" mostly comes from impulse. Impulse is force delivered over time. Gloves don't so much diminish force, they just spread it out. MMA glove padding is denser than in boxing gloves, so they have a similar effect on slowing the punch.

Got into my reccomendatuons 13 years later 🙏

After 13 years KZfaq recommended this video to me :)

you can dodge a mma glove much easier than a boxing glove

They did not mention the weight of the boxing glove. Not to mention boxers wear hand wrap, gauze and tape, which would increase padding.

9 years later i got this in recommended

9 years later, youtube recommended this :)

A boxer without gloves could take out a mma fighter anyday

0:23 that's Pancrase, a former MMA event in Japan, and they didn't use gloves because punching wasn't allowed. If you watch closely he doesn't punch him, he used his palm since open hand strikes was the only thing allowed.

Thanks.... Very helpfull

And this is of course 100% accurate because you did one trial an it's assumed that the boxer always exerts the same amount of force. Genius television.

I think they're overlooking the biggest difference. A boxing glove disperses the energy over a larger area. Hit the head it won't make much of a difference, but body shots, concentrating that force to a smaller area is going to penetrate more.

Fucking love Bas! Will watch anything with him in it

13 yrs to recommend this to me, thx yt

shouldn't they state the weight of the boxing glove? they're are different uses of boxing glove weight depending on what you're punching: 16oz heavy bag, 10oz sparring. This weight can make a genuine difference to the amount of power you could receive from a punch.

I dont know if this is me but I always felt more of a push when being hit with a boxing glove, and more friction and heat when being hit with an MMA one.

Thanks for recommending this I guess? See you guys on the next recommendation.🖐🏻

If you hit exactly the same every time you swing your fist, you're delivering the same amount of force. The only thing gloves are for is dispersing that force over a wider area of your fist, protecting your knuckles and your fingers from having that force distributed over 4-5 small points and therefore making damage to the hands significantly less likely.

margarito's glove hits harder .

So can someone please explain to me why MMA fighters fall SO much easier than boxers if its practically the same force?

Saved to playlist...might help latrr

Back then I didn't know I would be UFC fan one day

0:27 lol dab

nice palm strike by bas in the start there

I didn't search for this. Wasn't disappointed though

Is it easier for you to box your friend with bare knuckles or by using boxing gloves? If you did both you would know that it's easier the shorter a fight lasts (bare knuckles) because you don't feel the damage at that moment anyways

I think Bass is hitting with last three knuckles like dempsy force line.

i gotta say, it seems his boxing glove shot didnt havea solid connection, it slipped towards the end.

I miss Nat Geo specials , now a days it's all food and travel .

I fought using most types of gloves while i prefer MMA type of gloves just for the control they give ... Naked Fists won't allow for a full force delivery out of fear of damaging ur hand ... And boxing gloves won't allow for a full force delivery because u simply cannot close the gaps betweens ur fingers right (unless ur are using the hands rolles (bandagages whatever they are called which basically stabilise ur hands and close the gap making it a solid hammer ) and a non closed fist would deliver very small damage and would break or get damaged so easily ... That's why MMA gloves are easy to put and for me the go to for casual training ... If u are new never use boxing gloves on a punching bag for that u are gonna find it hard and might actually break your wrist ...

aldo depends on bas punch velocity each time....prob should try more punches with different people

The force is dispersed more with a glove though because the point of impact is larger. Like standing barefoot on 100 nails vs standing on 1.

Thanks YT for enlightening me 13 years later

It's also the area of concentration. The "padding" dispersed/distributed the focal point

1:52 some thumb on that boy

this is a bit misleading. A boxing glove imparts about the same force but it does so over a longer period of time(the thickness of the padding) and over a larger surface area, so force/time/area = less damage from the boxing glove.

That was an unexpected ending.

The thing is the concussion from the punch is the same but the point where they punch doesn’t split or even break For example a sharp knife with the same force of a blunt knife makes it more dangerous Due to it cutting you

Boxing gloves just spreads the impact. which can be more of an advantage as that gives u more chance of knockout

That's the funniest looking aninated glove I've ever seen.

Perfect video to watch at 3 am.

It’s the 10 year anniversary of this video!😳

you guys failed to incorporate wrapping. With a wrist wrap the fighter can throw harder punches with less worry on injuring the joint. In theory, a bare knuckle punch will have less force than a properly wrapped and gloved fist because the fighter will be more conscious of protecting their hands. Thats why if you go back and watch a lot of those old bare knuckle fights, fighters were throwing palm strikes to avoid injuring their hands with punches.
