12 is all I usually see in sporting good stores for the heavy bag. They'd be fine.

If you are planning on sparring go with 16 ounce Bag gloves. If you go with lighter gloves, the sparring gloves will feel like bricks when you are in the ring.

What are the glove weights for official fights in the 130 division?

Amateur or pro? Amature you will be using either 10 or 12 ounce gloves, but Sparring gloves are pretty uniformly 16 ounces in all of the Gyms I have been in. I think the pro gloves are 8 onces.

It should be noted that I don't spar. I just do the boxing workout for fitness. I use the 12 oz. heavy bag gloves for the heavy bag and the double-ended striking bag and just wraps for the speed bag.
