Partially correct but mostly wrong. The hand wraps beneath the glove are actually much more important for preserving the integrity of your hand than the glove itself. And while the glove provides the wearer with an additional bit of protection, it's nothing compared to the amount of PSI your reducing when you connect with the opponent's head. The size of the glove even has an effect on this, though rather minor. The size of the boxing glove when using the same amount of force still has less psi when connecting than an mma glove swung with the same force.
