I'm mobile and do well for those who are entering this event with me. I spar with my own 16 oz gloves and have another set of 16 oz gloves that I use here and there to use for the actual event. It won't bother me to get a 14 oz pair if needed.
That being said, I've sparred with a guy wearing 12oz gloves and really felt the punches, so perhaps the gym is recommending 14oz to avoid any serious damage to participants. Anyway, let us know!
