The best of both worlds between 12 oz gloves and 16 oz gloves seems to simply be: 14 oz gloves.
Not really, if you want to spar most gyms insist on 16oz
@@HibeeMcbee Is that the same with mma gyms?
That's what been approved for the Jake vs Mike Tyson fight. They are also fighting 8 two minute rounds.
If you're only buying 1 pair, it's 16oz no question. 8/10 properly managed gyms aren't going to let you fly with anything else for sparring.
I just started and even after watching this I have no clue. I’m a pretty small kid so should I still do 16 oz?
@@SlopeShredder29 If you're going to a gym and only getting one pair, yes. Even if your gym allows 14oz, your opponent will appreciate the 16oz. If you're getting two, then obviously you can go a bit lighter for bag/pad work.
@@SlopeShredder29 Gabriel Varga has a more nuanced video on this topic. With a gender difference or size difference of 20 lbs or more, or when sparring not at full force, lighter gloves are fine. Also the cushioning matters more than the weight in sparring for injury. Always take into account the context.

Which one is better for sparing
Great video! No shenanigans just good information, thank you so much!
The difference 4oz makes! Well, the muscles were probably a bit fatigued by the time you got to the 16oz gloves, but still!
Thanks a lot. I got this figured out now.
I’ve been doing everything with 16oz gloves since I was 14. I’ve always been a big guy with big hands. Whenever I use anything lighter I definitely feel the power but I actually get more fatigued since I throw more. I feel like since I’ve used a 16oz for so long my muscles are just conditioned to not feel the strain.
You do have to make a conscious effort not to throw as many punches.
I been using the same gloves 12 oz for 4 years now lol I didn’t know there are gloves for everything haha
Goldie Locks glove style!
Thank you! direct to the point. Now I can move on, and get the right one for me. 👍
I’ve been training with 16 oz gloves since I was 15 and the only thing I don’t like about training with 16 oz is that I could never get the full snap of my combinations and it would be very difficult to hit the double end bag but when I hit the bag with 12 ounces I could feel the snap in my punches and my technique was much more perfect.
I bought 12oz after watching these vids been using 16oz for everything how does 10oz feel compared to 12 whats better for training 10 or 12oz?
One my questions too
Thank you! So helpful! Ordering gloves for my son.
Wonderful!
@@FightCamp I wear only 12 oz boxing gloves
Which ones did you order?
Nice video, straight to the point.
Dangg we been sparing with 12 ounces 💀
I sparred with 14oz gloves
At my kempo school we spar with 6oz...😂😂
@@Kamingo170 damn
@@jonathanlms_ Large gloves will make your defense skills bad in the long run
@@Kamingo170 Is 12 oz good
For pad drills, I've been using my 16oz but today I've ordered a 12oz pair. Should be a lot snappier.
I think 14Oz is perfect balance and more versatile in training
Go as light as possible for pad drills. Those drills are best with lighter gloves, power punching bag drills are the only time heavier gloves should be used, to get well rounded results.
@@theeagleg674 12 ounce for speed workouts like pad drills, sparring and speed combos on the punching bag and heavier gloves for power punches on the heavy bag. Competition weight for speed punching drills will give the best results since practicing punching at your potential speed is the only way to get full potential speed improvements and heavier gloves are the best way to throw full power punches on the bag and get max potential power punch results.
Exellent vedio.Full of information.
I actually regret buying a 16oz one instead of 14oz, I hover between 67-72 kg and the last time I used my 16oz (3years ago) I really felt like it simply slowed me too hard down and making my arms too fatigued too fast, I always trained for explosiveness and speed in my kickboxing club. My club doesn't care that much about glove size, most people use 14 oz I think .
Wow, the sound was smooth. Its good for training, wont disturb anyone in the house.
You send a good, quick right hook to the side and the whole family will wake up. I think it’s because he threw tiny jabs so you didn’t really hear it but good hooks or straight rights will be loud
@@lildrummerboy5673 this, and transmitted sound through structure especially if you're bigger and can make a 100 pounder jump cuz the snap of the chain will cause a ton of noise
What about the 14oz gloves. What do you recommend for for kickboxing?
I think I got 12 or 14 oz. They were smaller then I expected lol but I guess they'll have to do for now.
My current gloves are 16oz but thinking of getting some 12 or 14oz
awesome vid thanks man
I like 12oz... my hands are tiny
Wow, didn’t know they were for hand size, always been taught 16 or nothing.
Exactly
Those who say that, don't fully understand training. Competition weight gloves or two ounces above competition weight should be used for any speed punching workouts or sparring, to get maximum speed potential results and be used to punching in those gloves for a match. Heavier gloves should be used for power punch workouts on the bag because it's the only way to throw full power at a heavy bag and the best way to get full power potential results.
I agree with everything here. Great tips..now to mind twist you some I have heard that 16oz because of weight gives you more knockdown power because of added weight. Lighter gloves mostly from being able to throw more that creates in itself knockdown. It's not about padding for a knockdown, now talking cuts etc yes
Thoughts?
But usually, when sparring no one goes full power and it won’t utilize the knockdown weight of the 16oz.
@@policies8534 nah their trying knock your head off maybe not all time but most time. Your just a good person who follows rules
No dude.
thanks you made me decide to get the 12 oz the only person i going to hit is a punching bag unless someone pick a fight with me, and you have a new sub
0:48 me in Canada trying to buy the trackers but they don’t ship outside the US 😔
I always use 16oz gloves. I feel like piccolo when I take them off 🥊 too fast lol
Yea! Love it. just watching DBZ for the first time!
same i recommend a weighted vest also for jogging you will feel light as a feather afterwards lol
Piccolo slow though...compared to everyone else lol jk
I Bought some cheap $20 gel gloves.8 don’t even know the weight. Feels like 8 oz.. then I got the 16oz last month and boy I feel a difference. When I get some 12s I def should see a difference now
I used to train with 3lbs sand weight rings wrapped around my wrist and hitting the bag with a bag glove .
It had built up my punching power , speed , and muscle endurance .
When I wore the lighter ounce gloves it felt like I was fighting bare fist .
Learned quite alot today in this video. Didn't know what the Oz really meant. I thought Oz was about the size but it was more about the weight of the gloves. I had the 12oz before and it was good feeling but I don't understand why nearly every adult size gloves feels so tight when I put my hand through the gloves. Weird man?
most new gloves come tight i noticed, use them for a bit and they sould loosen up
@@gugubope21 thanks !
I mean oz are a weight unit lol 😂 i use the metric system and still know that 😂 but yeah its not about size . You might have big hands .
I have small hands I just bought some Everlast adult 12 oz gloves and they are so small/tight around the hand geez. Hoping it will loosen up with use. Can't even understand how I could put wrapped hands in there.
I don’t like using the 16’s for bag work cuz I don’t feel my punches. It’s like I’m hitting with all leather. I use them more for light sparring, hitting the double end bag and throwing uppercuts at the Aqua bag (cuz they put the most strain on my wrists.).
Hit harder then you will feel it. I’ve packed the SH1T out of my smash bag and long heavy bag myself so it’s got more sand than usual.
Got Heavy hotter Rival gloves there is no tag on them but I’ve weighed them they are 17oz. I wear wraps and when I hit the bag, just like George foreman or Mike Tyson, hit the bag with BAD intention, I try and pop my shoulders out when I hit the heavy bag. Fractured both my wrists have the knuckle wraps have blood seep’s from the material from hitting the bag, that’s with the wrap and gloves on.
Forget about weight focus on speed and foot movements and keeping your tempo to avoid punches, have a punch sequence system in your head.
What’s the point if you can kick a football/soccer ball really hard if you can’t kick it accurately and dribble past players. Same with hitting the bag!
OMG This is the funniest thing ever I started Fight Camp training at least 6 days a week since January 12. And I notice after every workout my shoulders everything felt so bad and I could never beat the average in the boxing path or I would be neck and neck and now I realize that entire time I’ve been training with a 16 oz glove. I mean my arms and shoulders are really showing some serious definition these days but at least now I know why I feel like my arms are almost dead at the end. 🤣🤣🤣 Also the entire time there were 12 oz gloves sitting in my closet. 🤣🤣🤣I don’t even know what to say about all this but I think I will now see what happens with the 12oz thanks so much Aaron OSS LOL I just really had no idea! Mazey Morningstar
I’m going through the same thing lol except I don’t have 12 oz gloves
Ive only ever used 16oz gloves, did you enjoy the training with 12 oz because my gloves are messed up at the moment so im looking to replace them
I've been looking to buy the Fightcamp freestanding punching bag, but it's very hard to find. I am unable to buy it without a package
2:20 the mariokart countdown sounds!! I see you
Im about to start training boxing and what size of the glove should i buy? Im 18 but 5,3 should i buy 12oz or 14oz
Soooo would it be bad to get both? One for a tougher workout and the other to really feel your hits
if your only getting 1 pair my advice is to get 16oz as it's just got more uses and if ur gonna do a fight aslong as you did a bit of training with the new lighter gloves youll be fine
tell me if im wrong
But I tried my friends 16oz gloves and I don’t like it I was considering 14 what should I do
@@caidenonfridge8826 Well some gloves just aren't for you im sure there is some 16 oz gloves that youll like but it depends on what size the glove are aswell, but if u try a 14 and like it much more go for it
@@Emre-yx4zt okay thx
16 oz slowed me down too hard, it really depends on how tall/ big someone is, I'm around 1.76m and currently 67kg, I have a small belly now so 62-65kg would be my fight weight, 14 oz seem to fit me way better since I like to be the fast one, if someone is heavier I understand using 16oz or more
Great video
So glad you enjoyed it!
@@FightCamp I ended up picking 14 oz boxing gloves
I’m 6feet weight 156pounds I do boxing and muay thai I would recommend to use 16oz for sparring and 12oz for pad work.
Nah use 16Oz for both you wanna feel the same way when you punch the bag and when you spar you wanna have the same feeling train the same fight the same
@@GabrielRamirez-ep1xc If someone is training for actual fights, your philosophy is working against you. Bag work and sparring are both training in the world of boxing.
Thank you
Hey so if there is no sparring would any size glove be okay for cardio workout?
For cardio yeah any size, just be mindful that the smaller the glove the more likely you are to fuck your hands up. And like TexasBJJ said, use wraps although I think that goes for using any glove size and isn’t exclusive to smaller sizes tbh.
Question, so if I’m going to be punching an aqua bag for conditioning and no sparring. Also my wrist is small with skinny fingers what’s the best glove you suggest?
If you're not gonna spar, wear any weight you want. Start with 16oz just to get your hands familiar with punching. Make sure you wear hand wraps and wrist support. A lot of people who aren't used to punching, jam their wrist when they start punching hard. The hand wraps also alleviate some of the pain on your bones/knuckles from punching the bag
As a stoopid 10 yo i used to do sparring with those small mma gloves, those really small ones
ahora entendi gracias a este video compre de 14 oz deveria aver comprado de 12 oz
hey man help me out, I'm 177cm and 88 kg. I lift weights for 3 years. And started boxing just for fun,not gonna compete or anything. Just some bag work. Which size should I get as my only glove?
its simple. im a featherweight 126 pounds and spar with 14 ounce gloves, train heavy bag/pads with 12 ounces, and i dont compete in the amateurs but if i were then id use 10 ounces and if i ever go pro id be using 8 ounces. i rarely use 16 ounces they too big for me. Now ofc if you are bigger than me you'd be doing the same but probably 2 ounces up on each thing you do
Bro qhat should I get I just want it for home for cardio boxing also what type of boxing bag should I get do you think I am 6 foot 4 110 kgs and I just wanna know qhat gloves and bag you recommend
I am thinking about getting Intermediate Training - Level II boxing gloves ?
And bag I am thinking EVERLASTEverlast Powercore Elite 4ft Heavy Boxing Bag what do you think thou please help :)
I am 5'11' 193 lbs I have a rotator cuff tear in both shoulders what oz should I use for training light training light mitts etc thank you anyone
Damn I need to spar with 16 oz lmao my partner said my punches be hitting way to hard in our training sessions. Even when I’m just body slapping. Does the oz of the gloves matter for weight class as well? Or strictly for trainin/sparring variations.
Yes it does, the more padding on the glove…the more likely it’s going to protect your opponents from your power..like Mike Tyson for example, he use 16oz for the bag but since he hit to hard. For sparring he was only using 18oz for safety measure of his opponents
Make so much sense
I remember when i first start boxing my friends and me would spar each other with bag mitts and no head guard 😂
LOVE IT
Nice video... in your opinion, for professional boxing, do you believe bigger gloves are safer? Should heavyweights only use 16 oz gloves? Or smaller divisions use 10oz gloves?
What are your thoughts on 14 oz gloves? If you want to talk about it here.
What about brand/style suggestions for those who have slightly larger hands and have trouble finding a good fit? Pleeeeeease... or a link? 100s of videos about gloves, and I can't find any advice for this problem.
@@milesprosper8534 I wound up getting the Ring to Cage C17. I love 'em. 16oz. I wound up calling them, and the dude was really cool and answered all my stupid questions. lol
Guys im a beginner and Im just about to buy a punching bag however how do I know which glove's going to fit my hands?. Also about the weight,to be on the safe side is it better to buy 14oz? Because I dont have the money to buy another glove if i regret my decision. (I am sure 99% of the time i wont be sparring)
I've been using 16oz weight 120 should I stay with 16s
I always tell my partner if he wants to spar .. use the 16oz or go away!! I don't wanna get knocked out or hurt!
Aye that’s smart bro
How about 14oz
@@icedout_valdez6862 14oz is good for light sparring, but i was talking about hard sparring!
@@michaelswat2663 I’ve sparred twice now at a gym (proper sparring like after hours) and both times I’ve sparred a guy first using 12s and next time using 10s whilst I’m using 14s (I’m on the smaller end so 16s are too big). The guy with 10s last session rocked me to shit and I find it insane that the coaches just let dudes spar with these gloves. Gonna go get myself some 10s at this rate.
@@tomhardy116 10oz lol! We don't even use that in amateur fights lol!! This guy must be nuts! Last year I sparred with a guy wearing 12oz and he broke my nose 👃 ended up saying "fuck boxing and fuxk you coach" .... now that I don't do boxing that much, I only sparring 1x a month with 16oz with head gear, just for fun! No need for unnecessary damage.
I box with 16oz, what does that mean?
OK so I’m a beginner I’ve been using 12 ounce gloves but should I switch to 16 for more conditioning? Though I’m only hitting bags right now??
My gym insists on 16oz, it makes sense, you're trying to built technique and lighter gloves will cover up flaws that 16s wont, especially in terms of balance. Another benefit is if you are to get into a real fight your power is going to be much more substantial coming from a heavier glove. Although, thinking of possible advantages of Lighter gloves the faster movement might help train your fight IQ and reaction times better than heavier gloves. I would say training with both would be a good practice.
I would argue that lighter gloves hide flaws way less, with big pillowy gloves you’ll never feel the feedback in your punch and whether or not you’re hitting the target properly.
I been using 8 ounces
I’ve got 18’s and 10’s 😂🤷🏻♂️
Wotabout 14 oz gloves for a beginner?
what oz can you guys recommend for a beginner? I'm 60-63kg by the way
My 12 ounce are tight and small on my hand
"You gotta fully entend your punches and throw real punches"... 2:27-2:37
Practice what you preach 😂
Question. I start training in the near future. Im required to buy gloves and handwraps. Do handwraps affect anything? Is it harder for my hand to fit into the glove with handwraps on?
Thanks
It prevents your fingers from 'breaking' when delivering a hard strike
use hanswraps ,artritis isnt a joke
im 4'8 and use 20oz
You know what they say about guys with small hands
They suck at thick bar deadlifts
I'm over 200lbs so imma go with the 16s
I'm looking at purchasing a bag - is the 100lb necessary for these types of work outs? I'm under 200lb so my gut tells me no.
if you got any less than 100lbs, its gonna move around a lot, is that ok?
Lighter bags are best for higher cardio
Can I just use 10 0z for training?
Ngl i read this at 120 oz at first and was so confused 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
Me and my bro just ordered 12oz and we gonna spar with it
What if you’re 5’2 😅 what size would be best
So I’ve been going to la fitness a lil bit and I wanna start punching the bag, I’m not a boxer however I was thinking about getting the 12 oz gloves. Just for getting my form up but now I seen your video I’m thinking I should get the 16oz. Which one? I have small hands.
14s right down the middle. Which did you get?

Im 6ft2 100kg looking to buy gloves not sure if i can fit in 14oz gloves? I would prefer 14oz as im beginner
You’ll fit in 14oz, unless you have some ogre hands that’s wildly abnormal, you should be fine. Just go down to your local Walmart or target and try on a variety of their boxing gloves to get an idea of how the sizes are.
are bulls gloves okay?
The big dudes in my gym spar with 18oz gloves.
I will rarely if ever use 16 oz again for my bag work. I used them for s long time nd im an amateur it totally screwed up my timing nd technique with the 12s. When i got the 12 after being used to loading up my shots with the 16oz i felt like i dont know how to box or punch! My balance nd biomechanics were all off. Now im starting again from zero to get used to the 12. Use 12 for bag nd 16 for sparring. Period.
This comments helping me im just getting into boxing ill get 12s first an 16s after so i can get my knuckles up
Question. Is all amateur boxing matches 16 oz gloves?
@@hahacrackhead4100 no amateur fights it’s 10 oz for smaller weight classes and 12oz for bigger weight classes.
Ive got a pair of 10oz as my first glove and having knuckle issues with them. I started boxing with a friend holding pads and from the first session I was smashing the mitts as hard as I could and I’ve got sore knuckles since. Hopefully it’s because I was going hard without breaking them in first (rival leather gloves) and they get softer and broken in as I don’t want to pay for another pair. If I do have to get another pair I’m going to go with some 12oz winning clones as I heard the real winnings are protective pillow gloves lol. I would get real ones but they are just way too expensive especially for a beginner.
@@ivdee okay I was just wondering, because my old gym had a rule were you must wear 16 oz gloves the whole time even during shawdow boxing. With the exception being jump roping
Ive only ever used 16oz no other size. If it aint broke
