so i've picked up yet another pair of boxing gloves. it's official, i have more gloves than i do hands. in fact there are more boxing gloves at my house than there are pairs of hands to put in them.

Anyway, as it sits right now i'm using ringside imf 16oz gloves. the hook and loop edition. they have no ventilation so i cut the cuff off and that freed up a big gap to allow air in. needless to say i ordered some of the everlast professional training gloves that lace since they are like 50% off at title and ringside. got the 16oz ones.


on my next check i'm going to get some 18oz ones for the extra weight.

so my question is, what size gloves do you guys use? i read a lot of reviews and stuff and find that people sometimes use professional fight gloves at 8 and 10 oz and amateur gloves at 10 and 12 oz for bag and pad work, then 16 or 18 oz for sparring.

i want to get a well rounded workout, so i have different size gloves.

what do you guys use?

i normally use 16oz boxing gloves for everything. In my humble opinion a 2oz difference is not going to make much difference a 2lbs weight difference that may be a different story. However in saying that sometimes i might go with smaller or larger glove from time to time but that is strictly because of the size of the hand compartment and how much comfort it provides me, different brands have a different feel, and protect differently regardless if the labeled weight is the same.

Ringside ImF's 16oz. for all... i do have a pair of grant 12 oz. comp. gloves but i would rather spar in my imf's.

For sparring I use 16oz Cleto Reyes hook and loop training gloves. Just breaking them in now but am happy with them so far.

what size boxing gloves for men?


When choosing boxing gloves for men, the glove size depends on both the style and purpose of use. If you choose a pair of training gloves, heavier gloves ranging from 14oz to 20oz are recommended.

For sparring gloves, however, lighter gloves from 10oz to 16oz is better suited.
While selecting the right size glove is important so that you have adequate protection and support when exchanging punches with your opponent, it is also important that the glove provides a comfortable fit allowing your hands to move freely when needed.

Ultimately, this decision requires individual preference as what fits one person correctly may not be suitable for another.

Choosing the right size gloves for sparring and training is important to ensure proper protection, comfort, and performance. Here are some guidelines to help you determine the appropriate size gloves:

1. Check the size chart: Most glove manufacturers provide a size chart that you can use as a reference. Measure your hand circumference at the widest point (usually around the knuckles) and compare it to the size chart to find the appropriate glove size.
2. Consider your weight class: If you're a competitive boxer or martial artist, you may want to choose gloves that are appropriate for your weight class. For example, professional boxers typically use gloves that are 8 to 10 ounces, while amateur boxers may use gloves that are 10 to 16 ounces.
3. Choose a comfortable fit: Your gloves should fit snugly but not be too tight. They should allow for natural movement and flexibility of your hand and fingers. Avoid gloves that are too loose, as they can shift around during sparring and reduce the level of protection.
4. Consider the purpose: Different types of gloves are designed for different purposes. For sparring and training, you may want to choose gloves that have extra padding and are more durable. Gloves with a thumb lock or attached thumb can also help prevent thumb injuries during sparring.
