amateur competition gloves

[Youngblood]

The ringside ones are okay, a bit cheap but I like them. The green hill ones I've worn on several occasions, and are sort of awkward and seemed rounder.

As a point of interest for this thread, what do you all train and spar with as well. I train with a set of 14 oz. spar with 16 oz. and fight santoned with 10oz. Our In House fights which are just as brutal, if not moreso then santioned fights, we use 16 oz. All a matter of protection.

Why I bring this up is, I have read about people training with these huge oversized 18-22 oz gloves somehow thinking they are preparing themselves better and will be faster when fighting. Now I don't/won't go into all the details, I suppose we`ll see where this ends up...but it was recently discovered by sports scientists, that for eg...baseball players for however long who use donuts on their bats, or swing 2 bats right before stepping in the box, thinking that light feeling they get right after, are actually losing bat speed and distance and effectiveness by doing so, not increasing it as they`ve always thought. Oops.

Just some thoughts.
