Ive been going training for three years or so, just sparing and bag/pad work, nothing competitive, and my trusty pair of 16oz Pug gloves now resemble a giant foam hand. Im looking to get another pair and wondered if anyone had any advice on what I could go for? As I said, it would just be for sparing and hitting the pads, so Ill probably still stick with 16oz, and anything around the £50 mark (or cheaper!). Thanks
Im buying the Rival Pro Velcro gloves (14oz-16oz) but theyre £80 but sure worth it.. atleast if you buy something it good
That's true, I don't want to save a few quid now but then have to get a new pair in a years time. Is there a big difference in size between the 14 and 16oz?
Nah not really, only reason i took 14oz is cause im 16 and 63kg & 1.75m tall so power isn't my main element. If your at a heavier ratio and a hard hitter then go with 16oz. If your more or less the same body type as i am or less then 14oz would do just fine. Here are a few links which should help your search according to your budget. http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/velcro-sparring-glove-p2.html If you can save up alot of money then these are by far the best i have ever used: http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/cleto-reyes-velcro-sparring-gloves-blue.html Check these for good professional gloves: (Higher prices) http://www.sugarrays.co.uk/shop/professional-contest-fight-gloves.html This is what im getting: ($119.99 = £76) http://store.titleboxing.com/rival-hook-and-loop-sparring-gloves.html Obviously if you like any of these you don't need to buy it from that link by force, you can simply remember the model and how the glove looks and look around for different price range.
Think I'll stick with the 16oz ones then. Thanks a lot for the links, will definitely check them out :good
No problem mate, as i said find a model you like and either buy it from there or check out some boxing shops around your area (if have any)
