    Thanks everyone. I've been training with 12 oz. gloves. I'm now thinking of getting some 16 oz gloves to hit the bag with. but what the freak do I do with my 12 oz gloves? I've been doing this for about a month and I guess these gloves helped me get through the "you want me to throw another jab?" phase of boxing. What gloves do people recommend for bag work?

        I'm pretty sure you're hands will move faster because of muscle memory, your body remembers how hard it was pushing to move the big glove, and you'll unconsciously put the same force into punches with the lighter ones, causing a faster fist. it's the same for punching with weights or running with ankle weights. you will move faster, but not forever, because your muscles will realize they don't need to put as much force in to get the same speed as before, and you'll slow down. i recommend gradually increasing glove size during training then use smaller gloves during the fight and you'll be trained to swing faster.

            Bag gloves? What are those? I meant what brand? Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I'm guessing people generally go with Grant, Everlast or Reyes. But are there differences? Does anyone favor one over the rest?
