fight gloves are only 10 oz so why would you wear 16 or even bigger gloves when you hit the mitts. if you wanna improve your cardio and whatnot go hit the heavybag or use bigger gloves when you spar which is what we do. 16-18 oz. but with the mitts we usually dont go higher than 10 oz

in my gym they give you their 12oz to work on the mitts, but if you have a lighter glove, they encourage you to use it. but yeah, i've seen gyms using 16oz for everything. my point is that "real boxers" don't use 16oz for everything like some poster suggestedLast edited by fdotorres; 05-02-2010, 07:08 PM.

When I saw PAC at the WCG, he looks much faster in person than what we see on t.v, in fact, I think it's what throws off his opponents off once they finally step in the ring with him. I really think alot of his past opponents have underestimated him. I believe they've been fooled by size alone.

i think that's a mistake though, he should focus a bit more on speed and angles. with the power he naturally has, it would make him a killer to have good speed throughout 12 rounds

..I don't use the gloves to block anyway I use my forearm more
10 on the mitts, you want to be fast as you can and keep it as close to bout as it can be
Im exactly the same, even down to the blocking with forearms part

On Cotto training, he never really pushes himself in sparring unlike other elites, pisses me off.
