open thumb gloves?

[capabilitieso]

My thumb hurts when i use regular boxing/kickboxing gloves.
when i use the softer karate gloves, it doesn't & i've been sticking w/those.
re open thumb boxing gloves: the open thumb design/movement range i'm seeing
seems to match that of the karate-style point-type glove.
should my eyes believe what i'm seeing?

It is definitely similar to the (non-foam) point style gloves. I like it, because I have the ability/need to keep my thumb in, whereas I might forget using traditional boxing/muay thai gloves, when I go back to not using them.

I've run into this too, especially during clinch work or pad rounds. Some open-thumb gloves feel super weird or even unsafe. I switched to muay thai gloves that had better wrist support and full thumb protection, and they made a big difference. They're usually built for more movement and grabs, which helped a lot while sparring without feeling like my thumbs were exposed.
