View Full Version : what's the standard size glove 4 sparring?
I hear 16oz are pretty much the way to go as far as sparring, but I have also heard that 14oz are ok too.
Do those 2 ounces make that much of a difference?
Are Mexican style gloves ok to use for sparring? I'm thinking about gettin a pair of 14oz cause I like the style of glove and size too.
Any of u guys use these gloves? How do u like 'em?
blockburna944 05-23-2005, 06:19 AM I spar with 14oz. couldnt tell you if it makes any difference tho. ive never used mexican gloves so i dont know if the feel is significantly different. otherwise, they look like theyd be fine to spar with. personally, i dont think that the equipment matters when sparring as long as its comfortable, safe, and doesnt distract you from focusing on what you need to.
tyson 05-23-2005, 06:32 AM I use Green Hill amateur gloves, 10oz. The ones used in actual fights. They stop about 80% of the punch impact.
jatt the ripper 05-23-2005, 08:21 AM if you use heavy ones, ie.160z, when you take them off and go on the bags your hands feel like lightling.
cmason 05-23-2005, 10:40 AM i use 14oz gloves from power star in manchester for both sparring and bag work.
Gattz187 05-23-2005, 06:22 PM i use 16 oz because of the benfits i would get. Power has increased a bit and when i put the 14 oz my hands feel really light.
boxstarr 05-23-2005, 06:58 PM i use 14 oz britannia gloves

Besides the 2oz weight difference, r 16oz pillow like. R they big in structure?
Hunna 05-23-2005, 07:48 PM 16oz are the go, sparring in 10s arnt good in the long-run

No they are like any other tpye of glove when fresh out of the box. I have a pair from christmas they got wron out but still good in use.
Dyl-G 05-23-2005, 11:15 PM i have ringside 14 oz and they are good for bag and sparring, theyre still well padded and ive had them over a year, although they are a little bulky, but they got some new models that look better
Asian Sensation 05-24-2005, 03:13 PM 16 Oz are the ones used for sparring typically, although I use 10 oz sometimes so I can get the most realistic simulation of an actual fight.
