What are the determining factors behind choosing the size of boxing gloves for Muay Thai? Would these factors be the same as choosing a pair of gloves for western boxing?
I am 65kg and 5%26#039;6......should I buy 10oz, 12oz, 14oz etc
I asked my trainers, he suggested 10oz, I asked if 12oz would be better, he kind of agreed, but half-heartedly.|||if you are doing any sparring then 16oz, at your weight you can probably go with some 14oz but theres almost no way anyone is gonna let you spar them with 10oz gloves.
the purpose of sparring isnt to really hurt the other person so 16oz gloves offer enough protection to prevent unnecessary injuries but still enough to make them feel your punches. also training with heavier gloves conditions you to have more strength to hold up competition gloves which range from 8-12oz for longer periods of time
now some people wear lighter gloves such as 12-14oz for drills that require speed like focus mitts etc....
some people have two pairs of gloves some for sparring and some for drills i just have one pair of 16oz gloves because im poor lol and you can get away with using 16oz gloves on focus mitts but you cant get away with using 10oz gloves on some1 face(well for sparring purposes)|||10 oz are too light for practing. Training gloves should be 16oz. , Less then that you are damaging your hands
