No announcement yet.
I'm thinking of getting some 20oz gloves for sparring. What do you guys recommend?

also, i edited my previous post, to add a picture of the guard, sitting next to folded gauze.Last edited by boxingsmash69; 04-10-2009, 08:57 PM.

man i wouldnt wear gloves that big, you will get an unrealistic idea of defence, you wont even have to try to block shots, when you fight again in 10 oz gloves (literally half the size) it will be waaaay different
if people complain you hit too hard in 16's, find some sparring partners who arent bitches or are much heavier than you so they wont complain

I had to buy some 18 oz because some of the guys i spar with were complaning when i used my 16 oz to spar, and the 18 oz feel awkward and too big already, it feels like im punching people with pillows at the end of my fists. It would probably be worst with 20 oz.
It's good that you care about your sparring partners but you shouldn't handicap yourself for the sake of not hurting them, it's still boxing, if somebody can't deal with taking a hard punch, they shouldnt be boxing in the first place.

Well, 2 of the guys i spar with kinda became friends, it's not like they made a big thing out of it. Still when i spar with them i don't try to take their head off on purpose but it can happen that i hurt or drop them.
When i spar guys from other gyms i don't care at all, but i got some good sparring partners that helped me a lot since i went back to boxing and i'd like to keep them sparring with me.
