Hey guys I am new to boxing which you probably get a lot here. I am going to get my membership after christmas and had a couple of questions.
1) What size are acceptable in competition or does it vary? I heard it was 12 to 14 oz.
2) I am thinking about getting 2 the following pairs of gloves Tuf Wear training gloves for sparring (16 or 18 oz), Ringside IMF's for sparring, Title Gel Series, or the Tuf Wear Super Bag gloves for the heavy bags. I am a little worried that if I get the Tuf Wear Super Bag gloves there will not be enough padding since they only come in 12 oz, is this a problem?
3) Is a trainer completely necessary or can you just get in the gym do some heavy bags, speed bags, shadow boxing, and sparring without a trainer?
4) Can I use my sparring gloves for competition if i decide to compete in this sport or do i need to get three pairs of gloves? One for heavy bags, one for competition, and one for sparring/shadow boxing?
Thanks in advanced!
