Choosing Your Gloves

What glove weight/size do you recommend for sparring and training?

It should be noted that the weight of the glove is not a matter of hand size, but a matter of use case. 12oz gloves are the standard for general training. For someone weighing around 70 kg and over, we recommend 16oz gloves for sparring and general training. For those 60kg and under, we recommend 14oz gloves for sparring and general training. While 10oz and 8oz gloves are typically used for professionally sanctioned fights, they can also be used for speed or knuckle contact. 18oz and 20oz gloves are the best option for developing hand speed in more experienced boxers.

Can I use the same gloves for bag work and sparring?

Yes, but using gloves for bag work can wear out the padding faster, making them less protective for sparring partners. It’s generally better to have separate gloves for bag/pad work and sparring.
