Depending on who your sparring with you need 14oz the 18 could be used for conditioning workouts on a heavy bag doing non stop 1/2s for 6 one min rounds.
I don't know nor could I tell what you were actually working on in the session so I'll keep my comments on what needs to be corrected immediately. You square up as soon as you do anything! That eliminates any meaningfull right hand (are you a lefthanded) cause you throw your right hand like a southpaw converted! Squaring up eliminates power except for wide hooks and your in a bad position to take any punches because when your not "in balance" all kinds of shots will knock you off balance or could hurt you! Keep your lead foot in the "bucket" (forward) and turn that right shoulder in when the right hand gets extended. You slip inside (head movement) to the point of giving it away everytime. Slip shots inside & out (head movement) and against these spar guys stay CLOSE and make them miss by small margins. That way your in position to counter and a short step in is all you'll need to land. When you make someone miss by the smallest margin your in control of that area.
Work hard on getting your right hand working properly, the heavy bag will help you develop more power and the mirror will correct you from squaring up. This is a big deal for you to correct NOW you are essentially a one handed fighter and thats a problem when you fight someone with TWO hands hahahaha!! I give you my opinion of the negative because its most important especially when its a majot flaw!
Your jab is good, quick and can be powerfully when you step in hard with it. The hooks are good also and you move your feet well other than sliding into being squared!! Head movement is also good but the motions need to be more precise so your counters can be returned quicker! Lots more but for now make an effort the next month to correct squaring up and get that right shoulder back so your right hand is a full punch instead of a push!
good luck, work hard, get better! Ray Corso.
