Boxing Gloves question

[Irish0910]

Is there really any reason to get 10 oz gloves for training?

[Trick]

well you compete in 10oz gloves...

[Irish0910]

would you ever spar with 10 oz gloves?

[mgkirkpatrick]

nah you'd wanna be sparring in 16s ideally.

10s are suitable for bag work and the like. focus pads etc.

but if you train in heavier gloves you're going to be that much quicker when you put the 10s on in a fight

Well that's not entirely true, but it's part of it. In any event, I've never sparred with gloves under 14oz, and I expect the same from my partner...

sorry which bit's not true?

The being faster if you train with 16oz gloves. A lot of it is it just feels faster. Although heavier gloves help. Also, life, say 8oz gloves help as well. Unless you develop the muscle memory, you can't move a muscle quickly.

Gloves are a way of reducing hand injuries. Heavier gloves usually means fewer hand injuries.

I use my 14s for sparring, bag, and mitt work... unless I want to use my weighted gloves for bag or mitt work
