If you've trained with boxing gloves or bag gloves, you'll find that after a few workouts the glove starts to smell like a stinky pair of shoes. And after a few rounds on the bags a sparring session, if you smell your fingers after the workout, you'll find that they stink like feet!

Here's a tip to prevent this from happening…

Just like wearing shoes, if you don't wear socks (and wear the shoe barefoot), your shoes will smell because all of the perspiration is absorbed inside the shoe. Same thing happens with boxing gloves.

So what you need to do is wear cotton gloves (make sure they cover your fingers) before you put on the boxing gloves! You'll find that all the moisture is absorbed by the cotton gloves, and your boxing gloves won't smell at all.

It might look weird at first, but a least you'll have the best smelling gloves (and fingers) in your gym.
