    Boxing Glove Question

    Peeps, I need info on gloves.

    1) what is the difference between the difference ounces of gloves? What is different between a 10 oz glove and a 14 oz glove?

    2) Why is is an issue when it comes to fights? For example, De la Hoya forcing Mayweather to wear a certain glove oz he didn't want. But why would mayweather or anyu boxer get annoyed by that?

    I am getting a punching bag and would like to ask what oz gloves I should buy? I got a 10 oz one and it hurts the knuckles when I punch the bag?

    8-10 oz gloges are nnot for hitting the bag...The bag has a lot more resistance and spring reaction then the human body.....

    14-16 oz gloves are for the bag (When you go down to 8-10 oz gloves you will feel like a speed demon)...

    As for the type of gloves (The example you used w Mayweather/DLH) certain fighter prefer has to do with hands..

    Power punchers like Cleto Reyes or TKO...

    Other fightewrs like Everlast (Many fighters who have had hand injuries)

    Even though the regulation gloved are all the same weight it is where the padding is situatied...Some ;like Reyes put more toward the back of the glove while Everlast pads around the knuckle area more....

      actually many guys use 10oz gloves to hit mitts

      14-16 oz gloves are for the bag (When you go down to 8-10 oz gloves you will feel like a speed demon)...
      and for sparring

      not always.


      Power punchers like Cleto Reyes or TKO...
      TKO is crap

      and we have our MX glove that Gamboa and others have been using that is very much a punchers glove Cleto is

      Other fightewrs like Everlast (Many fighters who have had hand injuries)
      no

      we do have a glove that protects the hand (Protex3)

      Even though the regulation gloved are all the same weight it is where the padding is situatied...Some ;like Reyes put more toward the back of the glove while Everlast pads around the knuckle area more....
      right on

      Everlast has three gloves it uses now though

            If your gettin 16oz gloves buy protex 2 or 3( 3 is better), don't buy the standard everlast 16oz glove those suck

                  the 2 is more like the winning spar glove so its better for sparring

                  the 3 is like a pillow most of the guys I get gear for like the 2 for sparring and the 3 for bag work
