[QUOTE=andalusian81;5324994]Hello guys my trainer told me that I will spar with another one of his students

And I know that that student uses a 10 ounce glove while I use a 14.

Will this be a fair spar? who would have the advantage or disadvantage? thanks.[/QUOTE



"Friendly" sparring is a big waste of time. The real learning come from observing others, drills and shadow boxing. Sparring is for putting what you have learned into practise and occasionally getting punished for mistakes. Acting like a ***** will never prepare you for the harsh reality of a dangerous opponent who is trying to hurt you. That kind of danger has to be simulated in sparring.

Those gloves are TOO SMALL!

Your coach needs to get a serious wake-up call. You spar in 14-16oz gloves and base it on weight/exp. Always use head gear/mouth piece/groin guard and don't "fight", BOX, practice, test things out on a LIVE OPPONENT. You need to focus on practicing what you have learned and the techniques you are trying to perfect.

You are not sparring to get hit or learn to get beat up. You are sparring to get better and you get better by being able to spar more often and you spar more often by TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER. A hurt fighter is worthless to a gym/trainer. Get 16's on that chump and you and get to work.

Train in 14's spar with 16's and you will be healthy and productive.

exactly.


your coach seems dumb, how good are you gonna get when you get hit with 10oz gloves and get a concussion and cant spar for a month... I hope you enjoy the 5 day headache and hopefully you dont have a job to lose.

Honestly sparring isnt about toughening up and learning to not be a *****, you kids are all just that. Kids and you dont understand ****. You should pay attention to other peoples gloves, its your head. Its not gonna do you better when you get ****ed up and cant even train.

Hmm.. Pretty much everyone i know in my club uses 10 ounces. Try to avoid punches. If you block them with your head then you get an headache.

Then wear 10oz gloves as well. Who would care? There's no rules against wearing small gloves in training. Wear what you want. To make it even just strap on some 10s and you'll be set. Most of the time, both fighters agree on what to wear. So if you dont like that he has 10s and you have 14s. Then go to 10s and make him pay.
