You're telllin me that in most of his PRO fights the man used gloves that were 12 oz, over twice as padded as everyone elses? You may be right, but that just sounds outrageous to me. I can tell you that gettin hit with 16 oz gloves don't hurt as much as gettin hit with 12 oz gloves, which is what I use 90% the time I backyard box with friends and what not. I can also tell you that I lose much of the form, which I didn't have much to begin with probably , on my punches when swingin giant pillow ass 16 oz gloves around. To me 16 oz gloves are pussy and cumbersome. Thats why when they said that Allen Green makes his sparrin partners wear 18 oz gloves I was very surprised.
