What Oz Boxing Gloves Do I Need?

If you have ever asked whether you need 12oz, 14oz or 16oz gloves, you are not alone. Glove weight usually reflects the intended use and level of padding rather than just the size of your hands.

• Lighter gloves are often chosen for pads and bag work
• Heavier gloves are often chosen for sparring
• Ask your coach if your gym has specific rules
