Question 1

How do these compare to the combat sport safety sparring glove in terms of padding and size? what weight boxing glove would be comparable in padding?

Accepted Answer

The safety sparring glove is basically the entry level model of the max strike concept. The padding is still good but not on part with the max strike. The max strike retails for  80 but it's common to find them much cheaper on amazon.  The quality of the padding and the shape and form of the max strike is high quality and similar to that of a boxing glove. However you can not compare it to a boxing glove in size.  If I had to compare it to a boxing glove I would say the size and amount of padding would be similar to that of a 16oz boxing glove.  I hope I was able to answer your question.

Question 2

How does the sizing compare to the ufc 8oz mma sparring gloves?

Accepted Answer

The UFC gloves have individual fingers.
This one does not. If you are looking for good Heavy Bag Gloves that can be used with or without wraps go with the Meister 16 ounce bag gloves. If you are looking for MMA Gloves that protect the bottom of your hands when you throw HAMMER blows, find them at Combat Sports or RDX.  Read the product prescription before you buy.  Finally, the above glove is NOT made out of genuine cowhide leather. I bought them and gave them away to a neighbor.  Trust no one.
Read the product description closely. 
Good luck. Stay safe.

Question 3

what size palm circumference does the XL fit?

Accepted Answer

I measured my hands palm, if you think of it like this, no fingers or thumb, just a square, my palm is apx. 4" x 4" length x width. Thickest part of my hand by my thumb is 2" the rest is apx. 1 and 1/2". That said, I order the large ones first time and they where to tight, sold them to a light weight fighter I trained with, then got the XL's fit perfect! Hope this helps you in your purchase b/c I have owned a number of brands of these gloves and this brand and specific one is by far my favorite to spar/grapple with, and probably the safest as well.

Thanks.
SG.

Yes these are made for women as well. It's all about the fit. For men a size up, for women the size they normally wear.
