14 oz

14 oz boxing gloves is used mostly for sparring and a very good “all-rounder” glove. This size is suitable to use in free-sparring and hitting pads. They are slightly lighter than the large 16oz’s and as such don’t tire your arms as much when you’re hitting pads. (151 lbs – 175 lbs / 68 kg – 79 kg)

16 oz

16 oz boxing gloves is used for heavy sparring. If you hit hard, have big hands or weighs over 80 kg, these gloves are essential in protecting your partner’s safety. They are bigger and safer because they have a wider area with more padding. You should definitely use these gloves when you are sparring, but they will also work great for pads.
