What weight glove do most of you use for training/sparring? We just had a few guys from our gym fight in their first Amateur Muay Thai fights and I believe they used 10oz gloves.
I'm thinking of getting 12oz gloves for training, hoping the added weight will help build a little speed/power. I was thinking of going bigger even, maybe 14 or 16oz, but I'm concerned it might make clinch work more difficult.
Thoughts?
Depends on the size of the fighter, IMO... 14-16 oz gloves are normal for sparring. 12 oz gloves for pad and bagwork
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback!
BTW, I'm 5'8" 160lbs.
i use my windy 16 oz for everything, burn the piss out of shoulders
