Buying gloves

16 oz gloves are what most people use. I use mine for both sparring and hitting the bag / pads.

 

16oz.

Go to ringside.com and look at the IMF tech gloves - they are perfect for all around training.

 

I use 16 ounce but being 140 pounds myself it's rather heavy. It's also heavier than what all of my sparring partners use, so next time I'm getting me some 14 ouncers.

 

we only spar wth 16 oz at our club RDJ

i have 14s for the bag

 

I have a feeling some people I spar with use 12 oz :-(

On the bag I use bag gloves, which are 10 oz or something.

 

I use 16oz for sparring and bagwork/padwork.

 

16 oz for sparring, 12 oz for bag work.

 

I have 2 pairs of gloves, 12oz and 160z, i only use the 16oz for sparring but use the 12oz for bag work, drills and sparring aswell. Our club isnt to fussed what gloves we use, we sort of look after each other a little bit anyway when we spar people from our own club. When we spar people from other clubs, its on..

 

No, 16's, better for conditioning and a must for sparring. I have a pair of 10s also which I will use in the week before my fight to get used to them but always 16s for sparring.

 

my mate who hits like a brick came to the club with some new gloves that were tiny i thought they was 10oz no joke. He starts hitting me with them and i coulndt feel it and after words we checked the was 16oz they was tiny couldnt believe it

 

The size isn't the deciding factor when it comes to weight. If you look at Winning gloves, they are all absolutely huge! The IMF tech gloves which I mentioned above are a small glove, yet they are available in 16oz. Personally, I like a snug fitting glove so I have been using Everlasy 'Sugar' gloves and IMF tech's for years now, but I won't use anything other than 16oz for training and sparring.

 

but generally size is an indicater

 

same here i use them title gel there realy cumfy gud support round wrist and they dnt cost that much either
