Boxing glove weight

[noodles]

Right now I use 16 oz. gloves to train, when I hit the bag and mitts. But I was wondering if it would be better to invest in some 10 oz. gloves since that is what I will use for competition. I read somewhere that using heavier gloves gets you used to the heavier wieght, making you a faster and stronger puncher when you put the lighter ones on. Is there any truth to that?

Yeah id say get heavier bag and sparring gloves. Youll fly like the wind once you throw those 10 oz on.

I use 16's on the bag and 16's to spar, but use nothing to do speed bag work...not even wraps.

One time for the hell of it I tried using 8's for some mit work and hated them because they were so light.
