In a spar or fight, boxers should go up one size (2 ounces) to ensure safety and comfort while boxing. For a good versatile all-around glove size, or if you're not sure whether you will be fighting or just working out on a punching bag, choose a 12 or 14 ounce glove to get started.
What weight of boxing glove should I get?
Regardless of your weight and size, most boxers will use gloves weighing 16oz or more to spar. However, if you weigh over 175Ibs, 18oz or 20oz is most commonly used.
Should I get 12 or 14 oz gloves?
A 12oz glove is a good choice for a buyer looking for an all around training glove, but don't be too taken aback if you're not permitted to spar with this weight glove in a gym. 14oz- 14oz gloves are probably the most common 'all rounder' glove.
