14 or 16oz gloves for heavybag/sparring?
I'm looking to get a new pair of gloves mainly for the heavybag but possibly a bit of sparring aswell.
I like the look of these http://www.ringsideboxing.co.uk/shop...hite-2014.html My brother has the training glove version in 14oz and they seem spot on,But I was thinking of going for the 16's as that's what most folks seem to recommend for sparring.
I weigh about 147lbs.
Would appreciate you guys opinion thanks.

Sorry can't get link to work but anyway there the super pro spar Velcro gloves from ringside,Thats the uk company not the u.s one.

The bigger the better, i use to use 18s for sparring and bag, was super fast when it came time to compete with 8oz
Re: 14 or 16oz gloves for heavybag/sparring?
Most clubs now will only allow 16oz for sparring, might be lower if you are a lower weight you can always ask.
Re: 14 or 16oz gloves for heavybag/sparring?
Yeah I ended up going for 16oz so I can do a bit of everything with them.
These ones..Lonsdale Super Pro I-Core Velcro Training Glove - Sugarrays Boxing Equipment

16's for sparring personally for me

I have my hev bag at work and go through the motions each morning.
I dont like 14oz for bag work and 1 pounders are way to much. I have a pair of these, http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...xinggloves.jpg
They are 12 oz. I start with those as I tend to hit harder in the first several minutes of the work out. I then switch to straight bag gloveshttp://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...rown/myevs.jpg I also have an old pair of 14 and 16 everlast's with detached thumbs and if a buddy ever wants to hack around I'll use a pair of those and let him use the 12's.

Sent the lonsdales back wasn't really impressed with them,But yeah think i'm just gonna try and stick with 16oz for everything.

I love those old bag gloves. I can close my fist and my hands don't hurt. The last pair of 'good' gloves I bought were 14 oz Ringside gloves and they just killed my hands. Couldn't make a fist.
