    Hey guys.

    Ive just bought a new pair of gloves.. Adidas Shadow 14oz (synthetic) for general bag/padwork and maybe some light sparring. I paid c.US$100 for them. At the minute they are the only pair I have (moved countries without any gear) and i'm not sure I have got the right pair as by all accounts they wont last too long on the bag and are sort of in a no mans land for sparring. I havent used them yet so am pretty sure I could exchange them if needs be.

    My training at the moment is probably going to be 70% bag, 20% pads and 10% sparring. Any advice? Keep these and buy a pair of 10's or 16's? Keep these for both? Sell and buy 10's and 16's? Not really sure!! I dont really have money to burn either at the minute in truth. Any advice much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I just use 16's for everything, only need one quality pair of gloves then and I think heavier helps conditioning on bags and pads.
