As a lightweight I use 16 oz for sparring and bag, and 10 oz for official fights. 16oz is really good to build up strength and speed. I totally recommend practicing with them
@@El_Alacrann 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.

10oz for fights, pad work, heavy bag. 16oz for sparring and heavy bag work. I alternate between the two for heavy bag work 16oz for smashing the bag hard and 10oz for building up my hand speed.
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

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.
16oz are the best for professional boxing, 14 oz are the best for sparring and training boxing. 10-16 oz for kickboxing competitions, 8-12oz for kickboxing and for mma training, 4-6 oz for mma competitions
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
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
10oz is my go to, gives you the best feel and response. People saying 16s for building endurance etc... 16s will teach bad habits and form if you dont already have form nailed down. Im not talking about everyone, but there is alot of bag slappers who always train in 16s 😂 Strength and conditioning plus sparring in 16s will take care of endurance and speed. We are talking about oz's not kilos on your hands after all 😂😂 16s ain't building endurance. 12s are a good compromise, 14s serve no purpose. My personal opinion.
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. Especially with bag mitts response is so good and perfect to condition your knuckles. I have all sizes except 12 oz lol. Bag mitts 8oz, 10oz, 14oz and 16oz.
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!
If your punching technique is good, you’ll probably not hurt your hand. Even with small gloves. If you’re worried about damaging your hands while doing bag work, then you should probably reevaluate your punching technique. Having more protection doesn’t hurt anyone though, I’ll give you that
ur a bigger fella I would def start training with minimum 14 oz but u should use 16s. Once your a bit more trained you can mess around with smaller gloves to really get the feel for them...
Smaller gloves helps with accuracy on mitts, helps condition the hands, you get much more feedback on your punches and because you are using smaller gloves you are more concerned about making sure your punches have proper placement and form so you don’t hurt yourself. Just like a fight
I find 12oz pretty good for me, im 115lbs (52kg) and id say i strike pretty hard that my fists become brittle but 12oz does the job, plenty of padding to absorb the impacts but its still abit heavy, maybe i should try 8oz or 10oz gloves, what do you guys think? Or just strengthen body more, especially my shoulders? Or both?
Which brand for least bulky? Im a very small guy and want to buy 14oz-16oz but dont want it to be too big in size as im thinking it might affect my hand mobility in sparring
Im into my second month of training kickboxing and muay thai. And i already have 5 pairs of gloves. Is this normal? My youtube recommendations are all boxing gloves review now
I just got my first pair and did a 12 ounce. I’m not planning on sparring for a while, but I’m a really skinny and weak kid so I thought a lighter pair would be better. I did research and didn’t find much on what size to get for younger kids, but I’m not sure if that even matters. do you think 12 ounces would be good for a 95 pound 14 year old.
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!
I think you use bigger gloves for conditioning your shoulder right? Because I've been using 8 oz bag glove, the one that don't have protection for thumb, then i bought a 12 oz boxing gloves, my shoulder was sore on my first week using them, so I'm thinking of buying 16 oz boxing gloves for better conditioning. That's what I'm planning, what do you think y'all?
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...
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
14oz.the best balance between a hard hitting glove and a speedy glove, good for people that need a balance between the two. Kinda good for sparring, great for real boxing, good for bagwork But also 8oz are good for pros at boxing because they support the user's punching speed my a ton. Good for people that can pack a punch (without much glove weight added) and have a need of minimal defense (or have good defense). Horrible for sparring, bad-meh for real boxing, magnificent for bag work 18oz are probably the best option for heavyweight boxers that can throw a fast punch with a big amount of weight attached. Also suitable for those with a big need of defense. Similar with 16oz but for those looking for a mix between 14oz and 18oz.great for sparring, good for real boxing, good for bagwork
I constantly weigh at a round 66-68 kg and the optimal and most comfortable size for me for just about any purpose is 14oz. I’ve never competed though so I’m guessing I might be asked to put on a pair of 12s in a competitive situation.
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.
