A heavier weight glove will provide your hand with extra protection, but it may slow down your punching speed and reduce the impact of your strike. Usually when you see a pair of gloves they’ll be labelled with a certain weight – for example ’16oz’. This is the weight in ounces. When it comes to sparring most boxers wear 14 oz boxing gloves, except in the case of heavy weight boxers who would normally use 16 oz gloves for sparring.

At first, measuring gloves by weight seems a little weird, but it all comes down to the amount of padding and protection each glove has. Depending on what you’re doing you might want a more or less padded glove – if you’re just lightly hitting pads then you might want a thinly padded glove for speed, however if you’re planning on sparring and practising hitting another person then you’ll want a glove which has more padding so you don’t hurt them unnecessarily. Essentially, the heavier a glove is, the more padding it has.
