Not directly. Rather, gloves protect your hands, allowing you to punch much harder than you could without them. They don't do much to protect the receiving skull.
- agumonkey 12y agoI'd really hoped they were design to limit damages, diffusing the energy on a larger surface. I was worried that wave could cause a different kind of harm, instead of breaking a jaw, you'd break a neck or cause brain movements. Anyway, it's still disturbing.
- lifeformed 12y agoWell, I'm sure there is an effect of diffusing the energy. However, it's completely cancelled out (and more) by making the puncher punch much harder.
- Swizec 12y agoThey DO limit damage. They make cuts less frequent. But they also increase the frequency of concussive hits.
- rayiner 12y agoSpreading the impact across a larger surface doesn't matter to the other guy's brain. His skull is rigid and is going to distribute the force across the brain anyway. What matters is the total energy transfer. The glove will dissipate some of he energy of the punch by deforming, but it's not rigid so that's not going to be much.
