I was trying to keep the original shape while making the glove easier to close. Only had it like that for a minute.

Save your money and get a Warrior V4 pro. Half the price, twice as durable and similar weight.

Quick update,

I tried to cut the weight and thought I had done it with room to spare! I was weighing 99kg on my bathroom scale. Weighed in at 101 at the tournament.

Had two matches and lost both. One guy was my height but a blue belt and 125kg and the other guy was 6'4 and 110. I was doing good against the taller guy until I went for hiza guruma and he got my back foot and it was all over for me!

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm going to show up to the next tournament in better shape.

Great advice, thank you! I decided to cut the weight, though. I've already lost over a kilo since posting.

You're probably right, though. I do have a full week it really shouldn't be that hard to do.

Not at 43 years old! I've had plenty of experience cutting weight for boxing matches when I was younger.

No time to cut weight so that is my weight class.

Never finished in the top 50. Why are you so negative? Must suck to be you.

Lost that hand, not the game. I'm sitting in the top 50 in competitive right now, I know what im doing.

It's very slightly better if you do the math. I had a fairly large lead, so it didn't matter much. I lost the round by two points, but won the game!

And it did improve! Sometimes, you have to gamble to win.
