Glove sizing in pro's ( according to weight class )

[BadMagick]

In the pros

Middleweight to Heavy is 10 oz
Below middle is 8 oz


In the amateurs

Middle to heavy is 12 oz in some
Below Middle is 10 oz in some.

I thought amateur gloves were heavier, like 14-16...

I'm having a debate with my buddy trying to explain to him what sizes of gloves are used in the pros. He doesn't believe me the the heavier wieghts use bigger gloves ,pls tell me if this is correct or wrong...thanks in advance!


Bantam to welterweight 8oz
junior middle to light heavy 10oz
heavyweights ( cant remember if they use 10oz or 120z?)

The weight of the gloves is one being considered not the size. Oz is a unit of measurement, isn't it?

The heavier weight class will have thicker protective layers thus it is heavier and since these fighters are bigger it's only common sense the the gloves will be little bit bigger compared to the lower division.
