Dual Boxing Gloves?

Recommended Posts

I was toying with the idea of making a character who, before the bombs fell, might have been a professional boxer. Straight out of the fridge it would only be natural that he picked up where he left off.

But when I actually got my hand on a boxing glove, it turned out to be just that, ONE glove. I was hoping that maybe someone would be interested in making it so that equipping a boxing glove gives you a mirrored copy on your other hand?

 

After all, it makes no sense to only wear one. They come in pairs for a reason.

 

If this sounds like something someone would like to take a crack at, I'd also suggest perhaps making a pair of boxing shorts to match, for the full experience.

Something like the picture below perhaps. At the General Atomics Galleria within the game there is a boxing ring, that would be the perfect place to put a pair (in a locker or perhaps for sale from the robots once the place is restored as part of the quest in the area)

I really doubt a boxer of any kind would use these as a weapon in a world like Fallout. I mean they are basically cushions on your hand to prevent serious injury on the opponent. Kind of counter intuitive. If anything it should lower your damage when you equip them ;)

If punching stuff to death was your thing you'd be wearing gloves. True, it probably wouldn't be boxing gloves, but I think you'd be wearing at least 4oz gloves as the point of them isnt to protect the other person, but you're own hands as hitting solid things (like bone) is no bueno.

Be leave it or not, the use of gloves in fighting sports/MMA has allowed for more and harder punches then what was going on with bare-knuckle fighting.

True, it's not just to protect the other person, but also to protect yourself. If you'd have a glove that cushions your hands, but is hard on the outside then that's the sweetspot.
