What Weight Gloves Are Best To Use For Bag Work??

Oh ok. I was thinking about buying 20oz gloves for sparring. I wear 18oz now. But I understand where you're coming from.

If I was just hitting a bag in my house or if I worked out at a gym that's more traditional, I might go with lighter gloves for the bag work.

BTW, if you hit someone with 20 oz. (thinking of the Ringside Gel Shock in particular) gloves in sparring, it's like dropping a piano on them. Especially the way you hit.

The funny thing is my hands are really really small and it doesnt even come close to fitting in the 18s I wear.There is a big space in the gloves then my hand. But boy 18s are damn heavy,feels like I punch alot alot slower in the ring.

I keep forgetting you're a little guy. I bet the guys in your weight class hate you. You know, in that good way.
