Hi
I am new to boxing training and have just started the gym. I have been using an old set of gloves that have been lying around in the gym that don't feel very good.
I am wanting to buy some gloves that give me the protection I need..
I am 5'11 and weigh 177ilbs, 29years old.
I will be doing mainly bag/pad work 2-3 hours per week with maybe 30 mins sparring a week.
Do I need two sets of gloves, for example a 16oz for sparring and a lighter 12oz for bag/pad?
Or do I just buy a set of 16oz training gloves such as the Ringside Pro training glove and use it for everything.
Is there any advantages or disadvantages of having a lighter set of gloves for bag/pad work.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks
