Questions about 14oz vs 16oz gloves

[GhostFighter]

-Does the16oz gloves offer better protection for my knuckels?
-Would a 14oz fit tighter, is it better for smaller hands or just lighter?
-Will a 14oz gloves give me an advantage in sparring against someone wearing a 16oz (presuming its allowed!)?

Depends on the make of the glove. Different makes have different feels and padding. For example a 16oz Everlast will feel very different than a 16oz Reyes.

I think when it come to gloves the best you can do it read as many reviews as you can and then try them yourself with what you think is best for you.

I don't allow anything less than 16oz gloves in the ring for sparring. You can train and hit the bag with smaller gloves if you want but me personally, I use 14oz to hit the bags and 16oz to spar with.

Protection is best in the ring. Plus, when you are used to 16oz gloves and you fight with 10oz or 8oz gloves, you feel like you are bare knuckled almost.

Well assuming were talking about the same kinda gloves and the 16oz feels a bit too heavy after being using to 12Oz for years.

You want to have a heavier glove though for working out. What's the sense of working out with 12oz gloves? You need the feel of something heavier in your hands so you get a proper workout.

Like I said, I go with 16oz to spar, 14oz to train with.

when someone sparr me they always use 12oz they got no other glove.. mine is 14...

anyway do u think using a thicker type of gauze wrap padding will increase power compared to a thinner one?

i'm 14oz and i'm a middleweight 70kilo to 71kilo and we just go all out,if we hurt someone we let them recover but if we hurt someone in the ring we finish them.its the only way to truley prepare for the ring.also if you train with gloves that are too big then its hard to put punches thru gaurds i would reccomend 14oz for average size men .

How long do gloves last, when do i need to replace them if i train 2 to 3 times a week?

It all depends on then brand of gloves you buy.

I use 10oz gloves for pads, bag etc, 16oz for sparring

Using heavier gloves all the time doesn't really help much. I mean you hear about guys sparring in like 18 or 20oz gloves, it's like WTF what are you trying to achieve
