When sales say " Training Glove " i take it i can use them to spar?

[msagrain]

you should be looking at 12oz or above aswell.(no lower than 12oz.)

[Nacho_Analstain]

Ill definately be getting 16oz ... Just don't know which ones yet.

I'm probably gonna end up going with the V.I.P or RBK gloves just cause i know how they feel to wear.

**** 16 of it's to much effort lol.

Don't wanna buy a pair and my trainer tell me i cant spar with them.

I'm looking at these ...

Training gloves are actually meant for sparring. I own 2 pairs of those exact gloves and absolutely love them. I'd advise you strongly to get the lace ups or lace ups in general. I promise its worth any inconvenience of tying them up.

I thought you were a big lad? Once you get used to them it makes your arms strong and your technique and speed better wearing smaller gloves

Yeh? Are they one size fits all? I might just have to take your advice, I have never wore a pair of lace ups whats the difference?

those are good gloves man just make sure if u get em that u get the 16's. If you're in a small weight class though im sure you could use 12-14s

Ask your trainer which gloves he'd recommend you use, especially if you're worried whether he'll let you spar with what you're getting or not.

That said, I think it's important to remember that sparring gloves should provide protection, not only for your hands but also for your opponent. First of all, your sparring partners are not your opponents, they're actually your partner hence the word Second, it goes both ways. I'm sure most people with a brain will prefer their sparring partner to wear properly padded gloves, so you don't risk getting cut everytime they land a punch on you. You want to avoid cuts at all costs, and good gloves are a key element in minimizing that risk.

I recommend Top Ten 16 oz. sparring gloves. Heck, even their 14 or 12 oz. would do better than 90% of the 16 oz. gloves I see out there (this includes the gloves posted in this thread).

TopTens really that good?
What are they like fit-wise?
Do they hold up well?

I remember joking that their competition head gear had the same consistancy as a truck tire.

As per the IMF gloves from Ringside, I've got the velcro ones and they're pretty much the best glove I've ever used.

I love the way Grants fit the best - but they don't have good cushioning, don't protect the knuckles or the partner.

Those IMF gloves REFUSE to break down. I've had my pair over a year, I use them all the time, and they feel & look like they've just been broken in. The padding is ample and the weight is balanced. I don't hurt my knuckles with those gloves and every sparring partner I've shown them to has agreed that the padding is generous (but not too squishy like Ringside Ultimate Classics).
