Hey guys, since this is my first post i'd like to say hi first of all. Been watching the threads on the forum for quite some time, figured it was time to join in and i had some questions, specifically about gloves.
I'm in the market for some new gloves + shinguards. I often see 2 pairs of gloves recommended, one for sparring and one for the bag / pads. The sparring ones are mostly going to be used for thai / kick boxing and mma sparring. I like the look of cleto's and winnings, but i wonder if the padding will be right, since there will be a lot kicking. Will i be better of going for a thai glove? And am i correct in assuming i should get a 12 oz for the pads / bag and a 16 oz for sparring? I am 5'11 and weigh about 170lbs. I like feedback on the bags and pads, but i'm not looking to hurt my sparring partners. We do a lot off drills where we hit on each others gloves. Sorry for the wall of text, i look forward to hearing you guys recommendations.
