How to Choose the Best Boxing Gloves for Training?
Your boxing gloves should be designed with your specific type of training in mind. From bag boxing gloves, sparring boxing gloves, and more it’s important that you select the type of glove that aligns with your boxing training style.
Some other things to look for are the size and fit of your gloves. From 8oz boxing gloves to 16 oz boxing gloves and other sizes in between, training gloves should be a comfortable but snug fit to ensure optimal training performance.
Boxing Glove Sizing
SMAI boxing gloves, unless specified as ‘Kids’, are all intended for adult use. Unless you have an exceptionally large hand circumference (greater than 9.5”) you should be able to comfortably insert your hand with wrap into any SMAI boxing gloves.
The Gloves are labelled as 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, 14oz,16oz which is a reference to the actual weight of the boxing glove. So a heavier weight will result in a larger glove size (slightly). Conversion of the ounces to grams is as follows:
8oz – 226.8grams
10oz – 283.5grams
12oz – 340.2grams
14oz – 396.9grams
16oz – 453.6grams
How to choose the right boxing glove?
Generally we recommend heavier gloves for sparring and general training (16oz), a medium weight for bag training, drilling and pad work (14-12oz), and a lighter weight for competitions (10oz& 8oz).
You may also want to use Hand Wraps or Quick Wrap to help protect your hands and wrists from injuries.
If you’re still unsure, check out our blog How to Choose the Right Size Boxing Gloves.
