sigh

it's 2020..

padded gloves is to protect the boxer's fist, not to dampen strikes or lessen injury to the receiver

you could still deal blunt force or cut the skin on your target even with padded gloves

padded gloves is to protect the knuckles, you also wrap or tape the wrist or the whole hand to prevent your wrist from snapping and breaking

TL;DR Gloves protect the striker, not the receiver
