Choosing the right boxing glove size is crucial for both performance and safety in the ring. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, Fumetsu Combat has you covered with our comprehensive guide to selecting the perfect boxing gloves.
Understanding Boxing Glove Weights
Boxing gloves are measured in ounces (oz), with adult sizes typically ranging from 8oz to 20oz. The weight you choose depends on your body size, purpose, and experience level.
Common Boxing Glove Weights and Their Uses
- 8 oz: Training, light sparring, and conditioning exercises. Ideal for beginners and hand speed development.
- 10 oz: General training, sparring, and competition. Versatile weight suitable for most boxers.
- 12 oz: Heavy training, intense sparring, and competitive fights. Better hand protection while maintaining impact.
- 14 oz: Advanced training, intense sparring, and competitive fights. Superior protection with minimal impact reduction.
- 16 oz: Heavy-duty training, intense sparring, and competitive fights. Ideal for experienced boxers requiring maximum protection.
- 18 oz: Professional-level training, intense sparring, and competitive fights. Maximum protection with minimal impact reduction.
- 20 oz: Heavy-duty professional training, intense sparring, and competitive fights. Superior protection with minimal impact reduction.
