What size gloves?

[ottoevans]

also with 16 pz you have less power, so if you build a lot of power with 16oz gloves would be even stronger with 10oz

what about lightheavyweights? what OZ do they use?

I know this guy who fought a European title fight at Cruiserweight. His gloves for the fight are at my gym, because he is trained by one of my co-trainers. I'm pretty sure they're 6 oz, but I'm not a 100% sure. They could be 8 oz. Anyway they're THIN, and the material used for padding is ****. You feel your knuckles right through, I'd rather get hit with bag gloves, haha..
The main reason for sparring with heavier gloves, is guys won't pound each other to mush in training. It's a lot of rounds through a career, and it won't make you any smarter.

u spar wiv heavier gloves sparring cos extra padding is protectin u as u aint tryin 2 mash eachova up

Yea sparring gloves are bigger,more padded and heavier than those used in real fights,either pro or amateur

The Ali-Frazier III fight they used 8oz gloves...and in the Castillo/Corrales fight

firstly thanks Cali_Rob for making this, saves my trouble of doing myself haha

So why the **** do i spar with 16 oz gloves. Is it to get me used to the weight so when i get in the ring my hands are ultra fast or something?

yeah i was wondering should i bring down the size of my glove? im 165cm tall and the gloves itself takes up almost my whole forearm :|

Cruiserweights dont use 6 or 8 oz gloves in professional fights unless he fought in the 1950s or something and im pretty sure cruiserweight weightclass wasnt around then so god knows what your on about

[Jersey_guy]

I always spar with 16 oz gloves.
