10 oz Gloves for Bag and Padwork?

[biscuitsbrah]

So i was talking to the boxing coach and asked what do you recommend for hitting pads and bags with, and he told me 10 oz. Especially to develop power and speed.
I was always under the impression that 10 oz gloves were not very good because when I watch videos of almost every pro boxer training, I never see them in less than 14 oz at most (and normally its 16's)

He also said its good for mma guys because they get used to smaller gloves, since they fight in 4 oz anyways. What do you think about this? I already have slight arthritis in my hands and occasional wrist pain on left hooks so im kind of hesitant to pull the trigger on 10 oz's. I normally use 14's.








Bonus question... If you were a high level amateur or pro in a boxing gym and saw the mma guy wearing these gloves, would you hate on him or judge him? lol

I use a pair of 10oz winning gloves for pad and bag work and I agree. It is more specific to what would be used in a boxing or kickboxing bout. While there are benefits to using heavier gloves like more hand protection and shoulder conditioning to keep your hands up, I personally am hindered by the size as they allow me to shell up more and get away with things defensively that wouldn't fly with smaller gloves. I also dont get the feeling of driving my knuckles through the target. The proprioception of the punch is muted.

Some people have hand and wrist problems and opt for bigger, more protective gloves and it makes sense in that situation. 16 oz for sparring is a no brainer, but I try to use my smaller gloves whenever possible.

Top boxers are decent gloves, but those infinity stones would drive me insane. You fight amateur right? Invest in a pair of winnings, they will pay for themselves when you dont break your hands and their overall longevity. If you already have arthritis, then buying a pair of winnings would be your best bet. Use the longer mexican style wraps. Winning also has a knuckle guard product that you wrap your hands over and lots of pros use it, even if they use Cleto Reyes or Grant boxing gloves.

Thanks. I’ve been doing some reading and people all over are recommending 10 oz winnings.

I actually had a 14 oz and have 2 16 oz pair of winnings that I use for sparring.
Before I destroyed them, the 14 oz was actually the lightest and best gloves I’ve used for the pads and bag, I can’t imagine how good the 10’s are.

 

[Frode Falch]

There is no correct answer here. Pros and cons both ways

 

[shincheckin]

i typicallly use bag gloves for bag and pads, and 16 for sparring. Many times I would use the 16 for pads as and bag as well, but mostly bag gloves.

I think 10oz would be fine, I wouldnt have a problem with them, but if you have a injury or something, might not be a good idea.

Those gloves you posted are weird and ugly IMO

 

[Frode Falch]

I use 10 oz for bagwork, padwork, and flow sparring. 16 oz for the hardere (rare) sparring.

What do you think about this? I already have slight arthritis in my hands and occasional wrist pain on left hooks so im kind of hesitant to pull the trigger on 10 oz's. I normally use 14's.

Then I think for long heavy bagwork sessions preferable might be use proper wrappings and even 16 oz gloves ( maybe).
Clinch etc to drill with MMA gloves.
Pads/ mitts, your trainer will better know , it is individual stuff.

I was always under the impression that 10 oz gloves were not very good because when I watch videos of almost every pro boxer training, I never see them in less than 14 oz at most (and normally its 16's)

Also 18 oz and 20 oz.
----
There is difference is he scheduled to drill clinch work, to spar or do long bagwork session.
Short sessions might be done also with 0 wrappings, not alone gloves and this is not only for pro stuff.
Still it is big difference, does a guy some 200 punches on bag or 12-15 rounds bagwork session or 15 minutes bagwork session in row.

Up to you. I use 12s, only time I switch to 10s is 3-4 weeks out to get accustomed. I wrap decently and even with gloves, it still hurts sometimes

 

[Ultra O’Dia]

Just punch like a gy pussy like me!
Duh!
Don’t even need wrap.

 

[Reyesnuthugr]

Train in larger gloves. That way if you fight in lighter gloves, your hands will feel like lightning

 

[StopDucking]

I use this. Don't even know how many oz it is. Probably 6.

Looks like 8oz bag gloves

I've never been a fan of bag gloves, most of the ones I've seen don't have wrist support like this one and just used regular gloves for them instead

I would probably sharpen a toothbrush and use it on you in an unfriendly manner in the changing room.

Back to your main question, 10 Oz are okay for bag work.

Sounds kinky... go on...

Well, first you take a standard toothbrush then you........ I can't say anymore as I don't want to get banned........

But them gloves, they look like something an eleven year old boy would dream up, whilst having a wank........ to Marvel comics.

I didn’t get the gloves but you and shin checkin suck

Ot to get open hands stuff in the face, eyes or neck for example.
What stuff there is wrong?

 

[MixMartialFarts]

I broke my hand a few years ago and its never been the same, I can't get away with anything other then 16oz for everything.

Those Thanos gloves are gay. Seeing as how a lot of boxers think MMA is "gay" anyways I would assume they would make fun of you if you wore those into a boxing gym.

I'm not really a believer in having to much support or cushioning. I think it can give a false sense stability in your punch. Also what happens if you have to wack someone without gloves? I am a massive fan of old school horse hair mitts. I have found them to be one of the only gloves that don't start breaking up after a few sessions.

Not to be to personal, but how old are you and how bad is the arthritis? I went through a lot of knuckle pain for the first few years of boxing, and have broken knuckles. I don't suffer any hand pain these days and I hit the bag with mitts and no wraps (rips shit out of my knuckles though). Just saying there is a chance your knuckles will recover, and I am a big believer in conditioning the hands as much as possible.
