Facts

Facts I been using 16oz and it feels light and easier out of them

The thing is..they will never feel like 10oz gloves.

True

@@alrightythen1466 come on bro you get what he’s sayin tho lmao.

When you’re trying to get in a longer workout to improve technique it makes sense. The more tired your arms get the less quality punches you’ll be able to throw…I guess

I'd more say its because he personally values training technique over training shoulder stamina

😂😂

​@@Kyle-zb7dm"shoulder stamina" 😂, shut up kid, you don't even know what you talking about

He said beginner boxers.... just like weight lifting start out with lighter weight until you get your form down packed and can move up in heaver weight without losing form.

"Shut yor malth ."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Perfect comment. Exactly what I was thinking.

Who foooking knows

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly. His advice is garbage.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah that's not as safe

The dude's wrong about what he's saying, no doubt, but if you're breaking your hands by hitting the bag bare knuckle, you're doing something wrong. I hit the bag bare knuckle all the time for years, I've never broken anything.

@@drdabsmore945 Try it as an older person like 35 yrs old.

You just got weak hands

💯

Lmao 😃 🤣

Well, for someone that’s starting

It's actually good a couple weeks before a fight. I used to always use 16 oz but then my timing and everything was thrown off in fight because I wasn't used to the glove size being so much lighter. I think Canelo and pacquiao does the same thing but Canelo only does it a couple weeks before a fight.

Honestly is not a bad advice. The extra padding on the knuckles means that you will reach your target faster, actually giving you a slight reach advantage. It may not seem important, but perfect technique and power is based ALSO on flawless distance management. Mayweather is not a good example, the guy busted both of his hands at the start of his career, and he prioritized safety before anything else to save his career after that. He didnt work with power, but with flawless defence and used a lot of arm punches in his fights as money may. And he is a phenom in that, so people should stop copying it. Both in amateur and professional boxing ive seen countless of boxers being destroyed because they tried to imitate some greats style. There is room for heavy bag training with 16 oz and i did for a while, but honestly my technique seemed to suffer a bit in that period. Probably the best is doing it with both type of gloves, it is honestly idiotic to train only with different gloves from the one u are competing with.

He uses them because he has weak and brittle hands, so more protection and cushioning

Best comment on here. This argument is old as hell. I don't compete, but when I used to be challenged to a hard spar, I would say I want the biggest stick. I only need 16s

I only use 16oz. I'm a heavy puncher, one shot one kill.

The boxers fracture is real on the lighter ones 😭🙏

Bro fr this man talking that bullshi he just sound like he can’t handle the weight lmao man said less reps worse reps shitten me 🤣

@@AcrossIntoDaSpyderVerse Na he’s right actually, fighting gloves are usually 8-10 oz, constantly hitting with 16oz will decrease the snap and accuracy of your punches because your constantly overcompensating. Someone who constantly trains with 10-12 oz will have much better muscle memory. Even pros mostly hot bags with 10-14 oz nothing more.

@@MoreMsthanthat strength training left the chat huh

@@basedbane787 real strength training occurs with weights in the weight room not your bag gloves

@@MoreMsthanthat we're literally talking about the weight of the gloves

Reps are literally the way your muscles develop to perform the technique to perfection (assuming the reps are perfect, meaning big and inaccurate gloves are counter productive). No one is counting? Why would you care whether they are or not 😂 that's not the point at all. More reps = better form.

More reps equate to more endurance and cardio. The longer you can punch without falling victim to fatigue, the more you can push a pace in the ring.

No way you said you practice technique when you shadow box and not on the mitts? That is crazy just winging shots at the pads 0 technique but when shadow boxing your technique is cleaner?? That is backwards of how it should be

Lol what i do is do 16oz for strength and conditioning and use the 10 and 12 for technique and muscle memory

@user-wp5uq3rg3bshadow boxing is 100% a way of dialling in techniques In a fight hence why it’s called shadow boxing as your shadowing in ring movement. If your shadow boxing and just throwing full speed 0 technique you’re shadow boxing incorrectly. A 3 minute shadow boxing should simulate a 3 minute round, with moments of explosive combos to defence to working off the back foot all things simulating a fight NOT just speed

I’m planning on getting 18 oz as well

I agree except i would recommend lighter gloves to beginners to concentrate on technique, even on heavy bag days

Yeah but with some people try to hit the bag too hard.. i like volume punches more then Power shots

Same my trainers allways had me usin 16s for bag work and 12/14 (depending on your weight) for mitts and sparring

💯

and ive gotten used to getting hit by a a 16oz glove

keep using 16 oz trust

No dont use 16 for a bag workout..16 for sparring. 12 for the bag

Floyd uses them so u not doin anything wrong

@@jerseyltd but why

bad comparison lmao don’t talk without knowing anything

@@gavlmnc5535 except hes right. Using 16oz gloves will develop your shoulders and help endurance and speed. This is a pretty common fact.

Damn bruh ur strong asf

😂😂

Where did you get those

strong ass wtf lmao

Dragon Ball Z type sh!t. LOL

no shit he’s talking about beginners. pros hit so hard they need 16oz to protect their fists, beginners not so much. beginner needs to focus on technique first which will be harder to do when their shoulders are tired

my coach was number 1 amateur for 2 years in the 200's and number 2 for two years. He has travelled around the world and seen how other countries train their best. He tells me to use 16 oz gloves so im going to listen to him

Was just thinking the same thing 😂

Exactly

Shouldn't hit the heavy bag as hard as you can as a Beginner... It's literally the first word this guy said. Any rookie can and will hurt themselves no matter how big the gloves are if technique is bad. Heavy gloves protect your hands more but risk of elbow or shoulder injury goes up if the moments aren't right and tight

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Source hes to weak to throw with 16oz lol

The source is he's clearly been boxing for a long time and you probably havent

@@maxkwartin47 "clearly been boxing for awhile" if you knew anything about boxing you wouldn't say that. His form and advice is terrible

@@basedbane787 retarded. I train with pro fighters and this guy looks like them. Show me your work on the bag.

ikr

Heavier gloves are better for sparring for more protection, lighter gloves are better for pad, bag work and drilling

@@Sebzthesmooth these newbs won’t get it

@@Sebzthesmooth exactly this. 16 oz or heavier are only intended sparring.

If u want to build endurance then simply just RUN

You’re 100% right. There’s pros and cons to everything in life. Gotta find that balance

By far the best advice. Depending on what ur goal is during bag/mitt work u might want bigger or smaller gloves, hell gloves are even made differently for hitting the bag as appose to sparring. Best to have gloves of all sizes for whatever occasion, personally I got 14/16/18oz gloves all in my bag at any given time lol

Well I boxed with lighter gloves and the wrist protection is actually wrong but the rest your completely correct about😊

Exactly….. Alternating glove size/weight is beneficial. If you go six rounds on the heavy bag. Do the first 3 in 16’s working in endurance and power and the last 3 for precision and speed using 12’s.

Best comment

no hes not.

Same here. Perfect middle ground.

Yea I would listen to pros not this nobody joe schmoe

This is the only legit researched comment I've seen in this comments section

Not at all. Bigger gloves are better to hit the bag cause you don't hurt your hands. And lighter gloves (size 12 or 14) for sparring so you punch as fast as possible, not the other way around

That's what I do

@@antoinemantoux1520 you have obviously never broken your nose from a smaller glove. I got a broken nose from 4oz and a broken nose from 14oz.

@@IgorTravelsTheWorld sounds like that hurt for real. Been sparring for 5 years, real sparring we go hard and never got my nose broken. Because of what you just said im gonna cop me the best helmet with the best nose protection ever lol

​@@hmt-0764 no in fact you are not look at the old school legends like Jack dempsey, baer, sonny all of them used 12 to 14oz I don't know if you know, sparring is training not a fight, you are supposed to control your power and instead train to refine you techniques and reactions, strategies Hard sparring is just unwise

@@hmt-0764yeah ur wrapping em wrong

8oz on the bag? You must not train often because that’s terrible for your hands. 8 oz gloves should only be used for competing at lighter weights

@@F76CC I said I alternate gloves, meaning one day I can use 8oz and another I can use 16 or 14, doesn’t mean everyday 8oz, although when I competed and won golden gloves I always trained with 8oz for bag work and pad work

@@Iamrjayhd lmao did I stump you? Having trouble finding believable information?

@@F76CC lol huh ?I got shit to do too not just be on a comment section, I can send you pictures of my book, my medal from regional and my runner up trophy from state lol 😂, not everyone has brittle hands, everyone trains different. You taking offense is crazy

That's a great analogy. ngl. 🔥🔥🔥

Heavier gloves DO NOT make you faster, the intention for heavier gloves is for spparring purposes bc it has more padding to protect your hands & your opponent, like the guy in the video said, you are simply faster with lighter gloves bc you will always be faster with lighter gloves.... not only but when it comes to real competition you'll be prepared & know how to box accordingly with the appropriate gloves

@@benjamindo8142 Yes I forgot to mention that heavier gloves like 16oz are also used for sparring as protection. But I disagree to your statement that it will not improve your speed. I guess in every gym trainers have different methods. But back when I was still training our coach will also give us heavier gloves for pads to increase speed. Small gloves for hard baggin. And yes it will improve your speed and punchcount in boxing fight that uses 12oz gloves. A lot of quick boxers even use heavy gloves for training. Just look at lomachenko or nonito donaire.

Thank you. I guess I got false information from other comments on a different video, and they said 16 doesn't help with speed.

@@WrangleMcDangle 💯

All the legendary boxers hit the heavybag exclusively with bag mitts....

Train your grip strength A LOT and flex that forearm tight when hitting without protection. If you cant hit the heavybag with your bare hands without getting hurt, your hands are weak.

Sure, if you're inexperienced or incompetent.

@@marshallmaia8130 AKA speed bag gloves; basically, glorified leather work gloves.

.... no

You condition your fists at the weight room, doing weighted wrists flexions and extensions, reverse biceps curls and others... Nobody is conditioning their wrists thru impact on bags and mits, my man.

@@felipe9228 huh

Ali was a dancer

@@basedbane787 he was still a boxer who punched. More examples, Sonny Liston. Marciano. Dempsey, Norton. Duran.

@@RAPEDBYBLACKS he was a running point fighter

@@basedbane787 then look at the other examples.

@@RAPEDBYBLACKS I'm not talking about them

No. Just no.

For sparring? Isn't that a shitty thing to do?

Depends on your hand size. If you can go for a smaller size... Go for it, but make sure it has enough padding. Padding helps a lot. People are all on punching power with heavier oz gloves, but honestly... You get more out of nice thick padded gloves at a smaller oz. Good to use bigger oz gloves every once in a while to test yourself and work on conditioning though. Use your heavier ones once or twice in a bit.

ali, foreman, liston, frazier all wore tiny leather bag gloves that had little/zero padding for heavy bag. you wont get hurt if you throw the punch right. rival rb5's are a good modern version of the oldschool bag mitts.

4 oz?? 💀💀

Smart

😅😅😅😅😅

How would higher oz make you more likely to get injury and soreness?

@@dom_g3765 it doesnt

You’re wrong

It does, leads to overcompensation and depending on your size can lead to tweaks due to the bulkiness

You only get injuries if you punch incorrectly

This is what I do. And he’s not technically rlly wrong about the cons of heavy gloves. Prolly causes your technique to be slightly off especially if your NEW.

The knuckle is a ligament, it does not strengthen and if you break it it is very hard to recover, so it is better using heavier gloves with more protection

@@Tll70 all in all it doesn't really matter as long as you properly wrap your hands, And yes you can make your knuckles harder by building calluses on the, you can achieve this by hitting the bag with 10oz gloves but also while wearing wraps which will prevent you from braking or damaging your hands, granted if you wrapped them properly

Ive been wanting to buy a pair

Fr that’s why I wouldn’t never go below 14oz on bags

I go for the 30 oz gloves personally

Because that works for tony Old school legends like baer, Liston, dempsey, marciano, duran used tiny bagmitts

@@LH_02 oh that actually makes ense but it works for me i love it

@@LH_02 it worked for my coach too who was ranked in the top 2 for four years as an amateur. so i guess it just works for good boxers, also all those old legends were well..OLD. things change and improve.

@@chefxhyrule242 Ye but he saying heavier gloves wont make you faster, but will make you slower... but what you think happens when you use a smaller glove? you'll be faster than with a 16oz. You literally agreed with my comment xD You:👁️👄👁️ After realising you agreed with me: 🤡

@@chefxhyrule242 You completely misunderstood his comment lol

​​​​@@SouthpawJoe Bag work with heavier gloves won't make you faster and faster permanently. Lighter gloves while doing bag work will make you a lot more technical, making you focus more on technique and a way to process more speed while practicing your technique. You will capture more of your technique rather than what your body is adjusted to. It is good to use heavier gloves every once in a bit though, but don't make them your permanent for bag work...unless you have huge hands. If you can go smaller in oz, then go for it.. Using smaller oz will help you learn a lot more than you think, it isn't just about technique only, but also your fists and wrists learning to adapt to your own punching at a more impactful state.

@@tbug50 Right, i wish people thought a little before making definitive statements. OP should have explained why you hit faster rather than 'just coz'

And he looks lighter than a flyweight. Maybe if he’d use 16oz gloves, he’d actually develop his shoulders and arms thus more punching power

Yea I'm pretty sure the size and weight are the same. Like the lighter the weight the smaller the glove

The gloves u wear fight night depend on weight classes. 16 oz is recommended for heavy hard bags and sparring for protection. Your coach should be able to find you a. Good oz. Don’t listen to this dipshit though please he doesn’t know shit 😅

For sparring

I’m sure your wrists are strong enough, if ur skin on your knuckles can handle bare. Just don’t be sloppy, careful with hooks.

@@yootoob6453 when I go bare knuckle I only use way less power. I focus more on technique when going bare knuckle. But with gloves I hit like I’m trying to bust the bag😂

You don't want to build bulk for punching. Bodybuilding is extreme non athletic because it's purely focused on size, not function. Your comparison actually proves this guy's point.
