Remember that modern boxing gloves are not designed to "soften the blow," but to protect the fragile bones of the boxer's hands, so that he can hit with full strength. We've all seen the stop-motion pictures of a boxer's face when the glove makes contact. Does that look soft? The classical caestus did the same thing, plus adding cutting and smashing power.
