What size sparring gloves do you use?

[Dizaster]

18s are a bit much if you ask me. The only time I've ever heard of anyone using them (or 20s) is when there's a severe strength and/or skill mismatch. 16s are the norm pretty much everywhere.

I have 3 pairs of 16s. One pair is softer for safety, one middle of the road, and one mexican pair in case I need to make a bit more of a statement. A lot of people use 12s or 14s for bagwork, but again, I use 16s there too.

Plus I have a bit of a glove fetish.... one day they'll either be my son's or I'll hang them in the rec room.

I can't wait until the proud moment where I give my pair of gloves to my son. Definetly a cool idea...
