Wrist pain when throwing punches

Fuck man, I used to spar with a 220lber that used a pair of 14oz everlast for bag work and sparring. The guy was a great fella but he had "special child" strength. I lots a lot of brain cells sparring him.
I had mittens with more padding
 
Learn to punch properly. Your likely punching with the wrong part of the fist. It's the first 2 knuckles you want.
 
Cant you post some footage or something? Even taking a pic of how you chench your fist could help. Could be many reasons as people have said. I would dbout it would be your gloves, could have to do with not wrapping your hands properly, could be some wrist issues (which could be helped by wrapping hands better), tecnique, or just the way you clench your fist. you really need to post some footage or pics. Other than that ask your coach.

Why did you not just ask him to put on a bigger pair of gloves/get a separate pair for sparring?

He could bearly scrape the gym fee's together, there was no way he could buy decent equipment. He wasn't the sharpest knife in the draw, but physically he was a beast. He make his money lifting shit and digging holes, but he always had "friends" outside the gym he'd lend money too but never pay him back. Real nice guy though, sad situation really.
I'm a sucker for a hard luck story so I'd spar with him a lot, but he couldn't really process "go light" no matter how many times you told him.
 
Aw bro, they didn't pay you back??

That's OK. Take it out on my skull.
 
Use the three knuckle landing...
