@@DreamHabits_ I personally don't recommend jumping to a 24oz right away. You might get injured. Go for the 16oz for the first 3 months, then when you change to the 24oz.

Personally I use 12 I think 16s can be great too for building up endurance the 12s are just closer to 8-10 what you would fight with.For technique I usually go only hand wraps and a lighter/softer heavy bag
I alternate my gloves depending on what I want to work on. But for sparring always 16, bag work I change it up from fight gloves up to 16oz gloves just depends on what I want to use, I certainly do like hitting the bag with smaller gloves though 8oz 10oz.

@@_alessandro_6792 that’s probably from improper technique and not enough wrist support from the hand wraps. I had the same problem when I first started
Punching with 14 and 16 oz is very difficult. Because the gloves are very heavy, they provide a lot of resistance when you punching. 10 oz is the most ideal and offical. But if you want to make your punches faster and more explosive, 14 and 16 oz are necessary, if you want to be more powerful, 10 oz or 8 oz are good because they have less density and the power goes directly to you
That’s good bro you gave good background. I would say use 14 oz. You wanna be using good form so you can also use 12 or 10. The best advice I would give its use whatever you can keep on for awhile while have good form because you don’t want to practice sluggish bad form.
I fluctuate in weight between 178-190 at 5’9. I’m thinking about 14 oz for mitt/partner drills.. and 16oz for bag work. Think that’s ideal, or should I use 16 oz gloves for everything?
The heaviest glove is the best for faster punch’s if your in a match and you have been using heavy glove but you your using light gloves now in the match your punch’s are going to be quick
I’ve started boxing for 6 months now, I usually use 14 oz thought sometimes I use 8-10 oz to help me get used to throwing punching without gloves, any recommendations?? Would help! ❤
honestly sounds like your doing pretty good so far I just dont know how much you weigh, if your above 170 then consider using 16 oz sometimes but personally 14 oz are my favs cause its the perfect in between of protection and speed so if you can keep sharp technique with 14s keep it up!
I’ve struggled to find anything below 16oz that can fit my hands (that doesn’t cost a fortune). I’m sure they’re out there, but since I only box as a hobby and not competitively, I don’t want to spend too much
I practice technique with 10oz bag gloves, spar with 16oz. Would probably get 14's for home heavy bag tho, just to give a break to the hands and condition shoulders
I know that gloves can make you think you are protected and that allows you to hit harder making you more likely to be injured when punching. My question is, is there a correlation between glove weight and injuries? The thought here is that boxers usually end up with more hand injuries than MMA fighter, which drops even further in bare-knuckle due to the idea that you can hit harder because you won't hurt yourself as much with more padding. I would assume that the lightest with the least padding for your hand would be the most damaging but then you hit harder if you have more padding which means the heaviest should be at greater odds of injuries. P.S. I hope you all have a fantastic day and stay safe.
@@karanlal4112 these studies were performed on professionals, people who know to wrap their hands. Also bare-knuckle boxers are not allowed to wrap their knuckles which is the main place of contact and injury in their sport.
Is there any downside to doing everything with 10oz gloves in kickboxing, like mitts, heavy bag and sparring (body only) ? My gym only sells 10oz ones so everyone is using those
You need all sizes, you should have a pair of light gloves , a pair for sparring…. I collect gloves and just switch out , keeps it fun, fun is good, plus look good, feel good, perform better! 8, 10-12s for technique (mitt work) 14-16 when you have sore hands or doing partner work drills, sparring …. When you train with really heavy gloves you don’t become fast, you just develop bad habits like dropping the hand after a jab, or falling over….. when you have heavy gloves and you lunch slow, it can be discouraging and make you not want to come back to work out, your work out gear should inspire you to work out! You should look 👀 at your gloves and shoes and wraps and can’t wait to get them on for the next day of schooling!

No lie I got a 16 oz I use for sparring/heavy bag and a 12 oz I use for heavy bag work. I tell all new people to start with 16 oz so they have most protection and have one all around pair to start with

yeah 16 oz is the biggest u prob need, yes bigger gloves will condition your shoulders but most high level boxers like to use 10 or 12 oz because they want to perfect their form and simulate a fight. the main point to use bigger gloves imo is for more padding as it will protect your hands more...

16oz for sparring and 10oz or 12oz for bag and official fights. Heavier gloves protect the wrist better too.

8oz helped with conditioning my knuckles and throwing correct punches. Noticed that grip strength is increased too
for sure bro that will definitely condition those hands, not much padding in those 8 oz
