@@csquaredboxingCan you recommend any 10oz gloves (for large hands) for pro fights?
Nearly brought some gloves today and didn't for this reason. Glad I listened to myself after seeing this.
Just depends what your training plan is and what your strength is. If i'm doing 9 training sessions in a week, I'm absolutely wearing 8oz gloves. I think of my body as having a stamina bar like a videogame. Once certain stabilizer muscles are exhausted, you risk injuries especially to the rotator cuff. If I can only train 4 or 5 times, I'll start off light, and then do the last two sessions in 14 or 16 oz to exhaust the muscles before recovering for a few days. Sparring always 16oz, and padwork between 8 and 12oz is best for me. Bagwork, I follow the above. If you can only get one pair of gloves and don't spar, I'd typically recommend 12oz, or 10oz if you're very small. I have over 40 pairs of gloves I'll rotate through based on how I'm feeling and what I'm doing that day. Also a fun motivator to get you to the gym using a glove you may not have used for a week or two and get excited about wearing again. I get butterflies before every training session. Boxing is life

Where I'm from, sanctioned bouts use 10 oz gloves. Would you reccomend training in 10 oz gloves or would there be any value in training in 8's? I have both but I'm looking at buying a new pair of gloves and can't decide. The 10 oz fighting sport gloves I have are too big so my hand shifts around inside the glove and sometimes gives me stingers, but my 8oz adidas gloves I have, have no wrist support so I have to be cautious about how I place my punches. I'm leaning more towards 8 but I'm also thinking about the value of training in the glove that I'm going to be competing in.
@@marshallmaia8130 Unless money is no object, I would get a pair of 10oz that best fit your hand. That would be most important as you'd be fighting in 10oz. The 8oz would be more niche and for developing handspeed but you can pretty much do the same thing in 10oz gloves. Personally I would have a good pair of 10oz gloves and a good pair of 14oz/16oz gloves for your case. You can do strength training / muscle building / sparring with the 14oz or 16oz (not sure if they let you spar with 14oz), and then practice hand speed and fight movement with 10oz. Safest bet is 10oz and 16oz for sparring, but I do feel 16oz is overkill for bagwork. I have a pair of 18oz i love to use for strength training, but unless your looking to spend tons of money and have gloves in every oz just stick to a good fitting pair of 10oz and if still money left to spend you can get a pair of 14 or 16 oz. My favorite glove is the venum hammer. great feedback, amazing protection, hold up super well, and you can usually get on sale for 50 to 70% off most of the year. I also recommend winning kvlr hand wraps if you arent taping every session.
@@mikeyp8778 I appreciate the response, yeah I think you swayed me into getting another pair of 10oz. I do have 16oz twins for sparring, 14oz triumph united that I absolutely demolished , 10oz hayabusa glory that are discontinued so I don't want to make those my daily driver, id rather save them for fight camps, and then the other 10 and 8 oz I was referring too. While I like the fact that 8oz gloves give the same value as training in bag mitts, I think having a solid daily driver 10oz will be more valuable when It comes to competition prep.
Found my grandpas elastic band old school gloves. I didn’t know what I was looking at till this video. I’ll give ‘em a go thanks for lmk how they work!
Nice!
Very good explained.. i use from 10 to 14.. speed and tec. 10 or 12
.for power 14oz
With 16oz I feel total unsure where the shots land and like ya said I was compensate to land with the knuckles.
Very nice video!
Thank you very much!
One other thing, I’ve tried various knuckle guards. Skulltec, etc. for me the best ones are the Box Raw knuckle guards. The only problem I sometimes have is getting my hand in the glove after wrapping. So I can only use them on certain gloves. But they definitely seem to be the most protective. For me. I just wish they weren’t so bulky.
Are you going to do a best of 2023 gloves?
hey can you make a best budget headgear video? under 100 like your glove videos!
Im new, and loving it, got 14oz for the heavy, I like to hit hard, but learning to control and flow more. My hands were real stiff first couple times after but Ive figured I was wrapping badly, Id say thats also a key point for those new, wrap your hands 'right'.
Excellent video as always. The advice you gave about people needing to focus on how the gloves makes your hands feel is the number one issue to focus on. Glove ergonomics can have a major impact on punching technique and long term injuries. I got swept up in chasing gloves that everybody raved about (Rival RB50s)but after buying and using them, I received nothing but pain, discomfort and disappointment. We have to look past the brands, marketing and price points and remember to find a pair of glovee that compliments the users punching technique and physiology. The best bag gloves are the gloves that fit your hands and compliment your punching angle, everything else is secondary.
Keep up the great work. This message needed to be repeated every so often.
Thank you
try the cleto reyes safetec. good enough protection + light weight.
@@viiviizzz Thanks for the tip.
@@battlevain no problem. but check that the gloves are good fit, since its handmade. not sure if covid affected its production line. i had gotten bad sized one previously. but if the fit was good, then it will be a really good glove for pads/ any sort of bag work, including heavy bag. mine had issues at the thumb area for the left glove.
on the other hand, the "reyes training glove" is usually on the heavier side. i owned a 12oz that weighs almost 16oz. but it fits well with good weight distribution too.
but in any case, try to get 10~12oz gloves for any sort of training. its much better. you can use 16oz for conditioning, but it might put stress on your body if you ain't "fit enough". use 16oz sparingly; 8~12oz as much as you want.
@@viiviizzz Thanks for the insights. I tend to need 16oz gloves for fitment purposes and for knuckle protection for my hands. I like to go hard on the heavy bag for my conditioning and so I find that I can make a good fist wearing 16oz gloves and this is an important factor about glove size too.
Great advice just would like to add for those with small hands who has a hand circumference of less than 7 inches try to buy specific gloves that are made for small hands like Rival has Guerrero gloves that comes in small or large and the regular for medium hands yes you can also wear extra hand wraps around the knuckles to fit small hands into bigger gloves but it takes away the ergonomics of the gloves it self since now there is also more material around the palm which makes it harder to make a fist upon impact.
Some guys just dont want to or are embarrassed to acknowledge they have small hands and will use this extra wrapping technique but in turn it hurts their boxing technique.
I’ll try some old school bag gloves like you suggest. I have some that I hardly use but I’ve never had any issues with those. Cleto Reyes bag gloves. It’s counter intuitive but it sounds as if you might be right.
I went through two pairs of cleto Reyes bag mitts in the last year. I don’t know what it is, but both pairs fell apart on me.
I train 5x a week, 10 - 15 rounds on the heavy bag. That’s what wore two of them out in the last year, a red pair and a black pair.
Can you make a video comparing the Ring to Cage C17 and Fighting Sports fury gloves?
Hey Carlo can you review the Legends Tuff Glove IV?
You knew what you were doing when you said “What is the best size….. boxing gloves for the bag?” 💀
Looks like it worked 😂
@@csquaredboxingCan you recommend any 10oz gloves (for large hands) for pro fights?
Hand position and ergonomics is the most overlooked thing about gloves. I wanted a pair of bag gloves for heavy hitting so of course I went for 16oz. Got the RDX S-5. After ten rounds of throwing bombs my hands feel stiff the next day, which I never got from using the cheap old kicked-in 14oz gloves they replaced. I find that I just cant make as tight of a fist, and for some reason I tend to feel my shots in my ring and pinky finger more than with the cheap old gloves. Still hoping they break in more so I can make a tighter fist and land cleaner but next time I need new ones Im gonna pay more attention to hand ergonomics than to weight and padding.
Spot on, it’s something I learned over the years myself. More important than weight, style of padding, aesthetics, etc. can have all these great features but if you can’t make a proper fist and feel connected with the glove then you’re not getting the most out of it. Especially protection and comfort.
I love to feel my knuckles through the glove on the bag so that’s why I use my 10 oz rivals sf-f
Im about month in to boxing and this was a great info. Coach wants me to start sparring soon. Can you please name some 16oz gloves that you can make a good fist for sparring? I have the everlast 16oz powerlock 2 and cant really make a fist
Rival
I weigh in at 200 lbs/ 90kg which oz can I best use for the heavy bag and padwork?
those heavy hitters look 1 to like winniungs the linings the white rubber in the thumb the oz number and placement wtf
For me it’s a glove that prevents bruised knuckles. Once I get a bruised knuckle, heavy bag training is off the table for sometimes a couple months. Plus I need a glove that has padding that won’t quickly break down. I like to do 50 min sessions on the bag, so there’s a lot of wear and tear going on.
You got peanut brittle hands dude
@@BONES2124 I guess I do 🤷🏻♂️. But I also go 1,000 percent and hit hard.
@@BONES2124 It also depends on the bag I use. Some bags are really hard. And the fist does condition itself but if you take a year off or so, the conditioning will go away. Plus, latex padding isn’t really great padding.
@@funkrates4778 Not everybody hits with the same punching power. People who need knuckle guards are usually the heaviest hitters. 🥊
@@battlevain yeah. For sure. For me it’s that tendon that goes over the knuckle. After awhile, I think it is toughened or deadened because in time it goes away and doesn’t come back. However, every time I take an extended break ( roughly a year due to other sports), it becomes vulnerable to injury again. Does that happen to you? It’s annoying because it forces me to have to avoid certain activities for a month or more.
I love hitting the bag with my Cleto 14oz trainers. So I would say 18oz is the best lol
🥊🥊
😂 my cleto's were 16oz, so yeah, ....19oz is what the true weight was
@@rjayfitness you can sparr with 14oz cletos.
@jerseyltd that's not the point. Read the comment again. We're saying that reyes gloves weigh more that what is advertised
As a heavyweight, I like 14oz for bags and pads! Should I go down to 12oz?
I’m 6’3”, 250lbs. Sharing my $0.02 as additional consideration. I started with 14oz. Went to 18oz. Then later got 12oz gloves. Without doubt my form is 10x better with the 12oz gloves, speed is there, I’m sharper, etc. 18oz gloves are more for a shoulder/stamina workout. I’m at a point now where I’d cycle between both sets of gloves but I can’t see myself using my 18oz gloves more than my 12oz. 18oz are cushiony and my punches lack the snap I want to get from my sessions vs having clean, sharp jabs and working on my movement without.
TLDR; 12oz are my go-to, great for combos, technical work, and doing footwork without worrying to balance the sluggish 18oz glove. If I had to choose one, 12oz gloves.
I’ll post a video to my channel later today and you can see the difference 👍
@@ColinMacInnis What brand do you use, I am 6'8" and I have bought a few gloves and they all seem way too small.
@@WolchBot Rival RB11s are my bread and butter. The size large fit great after being broken in. FYI tho: I bought my first pair of RB11s in red and then my second pair in gold and they fit different. I think the gold version came out later as an option and it’s much much better than the red pair even tho they’re the same glove. Both are great but the gold is like amazing. And size large because they’re to the level of compact I want when my hands are wrapped. I could probably go XL but wanted it to be more snug than more open.
The main problem with my 12oz top kings is that they're light but top king includes so much padding that i cant feel the impact of my punch. No feedback at all and using these gloves exhausts me more than usual because the padding absorbs so much. I can't feel snap and that sucks. Guys, i dont recommend top kings. Dont buy them.
Thanks for the heads up
Top Kings are great for sparring. Lots of wrist support and plenty of protection for you hands and your partner. Just not great for feedback for pads and bags.
I am a man of a few words
190cm / 85kg
Should i get 14oz or 16oz?
16 man u are a big guy plus u should also consider heavier ones uf u want for conditioning
For what kind of training?
