    Is it better to train in lower oz gloves or heavier?

    I use 16 oz to hit the bags; Ive seen pros use lower ounces.

    Should you train in heavier or lighter gloves?

    Thanks.

          I'd go with 14 ozs, but that's me.

              I use leather work gloves on a dense bag strapped to a wall.
