Hes not just talented, he’s skilled. Skill is only obtained after years of beating on his craft, and refining his ‘talent’ into something thats useful and effective. Only saying hes talented is not necessarily the best thing. All love tho just tryna say we shouldnt confuse talent and skill
started boxing in school at 12 years old. Worked into Karate at 18 then Kung Fu in my late 20’s & kept on into my 60’s. Now I’m 71 & I hope I never have to fight again for real but I still love my bag workouts so I wear an inner glove, hand wraps & 8 or 10 oz. Gloves. This video has been very useful to me as I want to keep training for as long as possible. So I’ll be shopping around for some 12 &16oz gloves for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. Thanks.
I want to train on the punching bag, but only recreationally, the most important thing for me is not to injure myself. I have 14 ounce gloves but they feel big. What size would you recommend? Thank you in advance for your reply
@@djdenivk, I haven't been boxing for long but if your using wraps and gloves and punch correctly you should be fine. If you feel like there too big then I'd go maybe 12oz or 10oz depending on your age.
You should incorporate 3-4 rounds pr week of sparring. Of course No head contact but contact/points for tap on, front leg, shoulders and stomach. The cardio is priceless even for 70+ year. Oh and don't forget 2 x 45 minutes of lifting weights with a good podcast on the ears. LL Cool J told me we your not doing a comeback since we been here for years. Enjoy. ;)
For everybody out there whining and crying about 14oz gloves...I didn't have a pair to demonstrate for the video, so I didn't include them. I have used 14oz in the past. They make a great light sparring glove in case you need just a bit more hand speed, and they make a great heavier bag glove to develop endurance. An exact blend of a 12oz and 16oz.
Personal experience I found little difference when going down from 16 to a 14 and think having a 16 and 12 Oz pair better for myself, they are still not useless or bad, I just think they are even less specialised than a 12oz in my personal experience
@@kalencwil3924 I can tell you were definitely one of those people crying about 14 oz gloves. You ain't teaching this dude anything, he can box. Solid. You definitely cried some more after reading the first part of the comment. Keep the practice, and maybe you'll get to his level.
Another great video! In my experience, I think that the 12oz are the best all around gloves also, they are a great middle ground for bag work and sparring preparation. Also, looking sharp on those combinations, coach!
02:05 These gloves are the worst, no real protection but they give you a false feeling of protection, plus no wrist support. My favorites are 12-16 regular sparring/training gloves with great wrist support because on the beg it's easy to twist your wrist or get injured. Ps the 10oz are great for feeling the speed.
They are the best. It teaches better technique and strengthens forearms, grip strength and knuckles better. Not the best to use on a really hard or really heavy bag though unless you're used to it and have good technique.

@@joeygonzo Yeah but many amateur or beginners don't use gauze, just hand wraps. At least from what I've seen. And for example Casanova gloves or Rival ones offer a lot of wrist support.
I mostly use 16oz gloves for training but I do love the Reyes Pro bag gloves as a change up. I’ll focus more on technique and speed rather than power with them and I feel they’re great fur the DE bag as well.
I agree with all and I think more people who are new should be hearing this to know what to expect. -At least i would have like to know when i first started. I use 4oz (In Mexico they are called "Guanteletas") for accuracy in the heavy bag and double end. Then 10oz (laces) for speed and hitting "correctly" and solid, also great for mitt work. And 16oz (lace & velcro) for general use and sparring. I use 16oz 85%-90% of the time and every now and then i mix it up with the lighter ones. In most gyms i´ve found a lot of people don't have a clue on glove size-weight-use matters, and use 16oz as a general rule. Some even think is "wrong" to use lighter ones. This was a great informational video for everyone and try what works for you without getting hurt.
Planning to buy 12oz as a secondary glove because it was to me a good "in-betweener". This video just reinforced my decision. Been following this guy for almost a decade now and still bringing out quality stuff.
My old trainer would only allow bag gloves to be used for bag and pad work, 16oz were used for sparring and skills/partner drills, he said if you used sparring gloves regularly on the bags it would lessen the padding on the gloves and lead to unfair sparring.
Brother thank you from one Canuck to another, your work here is truly appreciated.....to your question for everyone...I’m a fan of the 14oz. For bag work
I only do fitness boxing and have tried 10s and 12s. So far, I prefer the 12s over the other because of the protection. When i used 10s my hands felt sore the following day, and it sucks because I still have to work.
I have 12oz Fairtex BGV9 gloves and absolutely love them. It’s the “Mexican style” gloves with longer cuffs and an attached thumb. Coming from Cleto Reyes, it’s practically the same glove. The build quality on these are phenomenal and it’s half the price of Cleto Reyes. I’m 185lbs with heavy hands and these gloves are perfect. Dense padding to really feel the hits.
As a complete novice, thank you! This is my first boxing video and found this a great help. I think I’m starting with some 10s and wraps, and picking up a double end bag for home
Hello JT with all gloves considered, and knowing there is a difference between them, lets not forget all HEAVY BAGS are not the same... Todays Heavy Bags come from the factory, packed very heavy/hard. In the Old School most bags were not as hard as today's equipment .. In the Days Gone By it was common to see a trainer repack a bag after time had caused the stuffing to settle at the bottom. The Bag became very hard at the bottom, and smart trainers would take the bag apart and repack it ... It has been many many years since I have seen anyone repack a bag ! Today's Bags are typically so hard that when I get a New Bag, the very first thing I do after taking it out of the box is I repack it ...I prefer to pack a heavy bag so that it gives.. I want my heavy bag to fold, and crease when hit / When the hand sinks in a little bit, I like that . In the Old School, most all trainers would stop you from hitting the bag with sparring gloves ! Accuracy and Precision is so important... The bags were not as hard as a concrete pillar, as most Bags today.. So there was no need to look for more hand protection, a good wrap was sufficient .. Thought I would add a 2 cents comment to your Excellent VIDEO * * * * * 5 Stars ! P.S. You look like you are in fighting shape ! Sincerely Paulie D'
I use 12oz Evershield's. One thing I do a lot of, is I occasionally go about half to three quarters speed with just wraps, for the very reason you mentioned. Working on proper form. While I'm hitting the bag with the 12s, I always take a round during the workout, and a couple rounds before I start going hard to work on form. I'll usually work that technique/form round in after at least 5 rounds, because I try to get the muscle memory down for throwing correct punches while tired. When I first started hitting the heavy bag, I wouldn't do this, and would suffer minor injuries from throwing punches incorrectly while tired. I'm to the point now where my punches are more consistent, and I rarely get pain during my workouts. Of course, this doesn't account for shortening hooks for speed, or throwing up jabs, etc. Punches you modify on purpose.
I was sparring dude with 10oz gloves who weighed 30 pounds more than me and I was thinking damn he's got lightning hands but it makes a huge difference from the 16oz I was wearing . Surprised I never got hurt because he was swinging hard too, guess some guys are just cheap
@@shadowhorizon2169 bro he was litterally a light-hevyweight and you were a welterweight he was two weight classes above you how could your coach put you up against him?
Good video as always coach! I also prefer 12oz for the majority of the bag/mitts work, 10oz for the double end bag and 16oz for sparring. Greetings from Italy
Once I used 10oz gloves on the heavy bag for 10 rounds it felt good. I'm not a boxer - I did it for cardio. The next morning I couldn't move my left wrist. The pain lasted 2 months. Wish I knew about the 16 ounce gloves.
Hi 👋 I’m not planning to compete either, I mainly want gloves for conditioning. But I also just want to know techniques and other stuff in boxing. Maybe I’ll fight in the future, I’m not sure. Do you think I should get the 12/16? I’m only starting out. Asking u assuming that you know about this stuff
@@NG-jy7zg i have been going to boxing/mma gyms on and off for the last 15 years. Wearing a heavier gloves definitely slows down your handspeed. It might also result bad technique like dropping your hands (due to the weight of the gloves) and these might be harder to fix if not corrected early. That said, if you practice primarily with heavier gloves, you will feel your hands flying when you put lighter ones on. If your primary aim is conditioning, go for 14-16 oz and these will improve endurance of your shoulders and protect your hands better. If you are unsure, you cannot go wrong with a 12oz. For sparring, your trainer might insist on you wearing 16oz to protect your hands your partner. If you have both, use 12oz gloves on the bag and mitt work and 16 oz for sparring. Most importantly, buy quality hand wraps and learn to wrap your hands well and to position your knuckles at impact. Your hands will thank you later.
Great breakdown coach! I used to use 10 for the heavy bag but recently switched to 8 because it feels faster and more powerful. But these days I'm thinking of going back to 10 for more protection.
@@SehdudeYoon yea but I’m saying get the same feel train how you spar with the same gloves because that’s how you get better conditioned use 16Oz gloves training and sparring train how you fight the exact same don’t change Oz keep the same for training and sparring
I have that same heavy bag it is the best bag I ever owned. You are correct about using a good glove and hand wraps once you injure your hands you will have problems with them for good. My pro has had his hands broken three time it has plagued him his entire career.
@@kalimullahqazizada7787 I think it is 150 pounds. I use it to train my pro fighter and countless kids who came thru the gym. It is my only bag that didn't fall apart after a few years.
@@lisar3006 thanks for replying I have a 3 feet punching bag and I have filled it with 70% sawdust and 30% clothes it is about 60lbs but it is so hard to punch like the hands get bruises. I was asking what to do to soften the bag but at the same time retain the weight?? Thank you
@@kalimullahqazizada7787 some sandbags in the center of your bag while you were filling them. Don't get carried away and add too many. My bag was soft but very heavy the stitches gave out.
I like 12oz gloves for bag work. But ultimately, I think the size that works best for you also depends on the brand of gloves. I use 12oz Casanovas for bag, but thinking of getting a different 16oz for sparring
Good video! I have been training with dif size glove over the years. Right now use hayabusa t3 (great wrist support with double loop and great surface quality) 12oz with gel pads inside for more protection so they end up being 14oz. Since I am a lefty boxing in orthodox stance to develop my home run off the back I sometimes use 18-20oz on my right to speed it up. For speed development I use 18-20oz for two rounds just touching the bag but being almost dead at the end of each round. For power - 12-14oz all out combos and air intake in between. Sparring: 16-18oz (6'7", 190lbs). Prefer to train speed separately from power. SPEED IS FINE - POWER IS FINAL!!! But rather have speed than power. LOVE DOUBLE END BAG WORK!!!! since most of the time I train myself - unfortunately no mitts for me. Question for you: do you ever use 20oz (bag, sparring, double end, mitts)? What is your favorite brand? Your favorite weight distribution? Have you ever used British Fortress pro hand wraps? Thanks for the great video! Cheers
me too lol i mean use mostly use 12oz and 16oz for a heavy bag. some days ill use 16oz to work on my power and ill use 12oz for days when I feel like using the heavy bag for a long session. but i think It all comes down to personal preference
yes indeed 10 Oz are a great feeling for practice on the heavy bag. I used to wear 14 Oz gloves for heavy bag practicing so far 3 months now being involved in box training, but i got a twisted left wrist since they are too thick and i had to hit very hard so to feel where are my knuckles exactly landing on the bag, so, i will be using 10 Oz from now on for practicing.
I use Bruce Lee style kempo gloves. Pros: my hands are available to move to different stations in my backyard gym without gloving/ungloving. You can go right to ropes, sledgehammer, jump rope and back to bags. They look cool. Provide decent protection for light/medium hitting. Cons: not good for heavy hitting especially on harder bags. They do not last long, I run through them in about three to four months of daily use.
i have trained with a 12oz and have a lot of injuries, but when i use 14 and 16, I tend to hit harder and at times i do a lot of cardio workout on the bag with my 16 oz. At times I have used my handwraps just to go through some techniques and shadow box with the bag. so 16 works for me. although i truly agree with u on being overconfident when using 16oz
The knowledge and information in this video is elite. I've had 10z and 16oz and I prefer 16oz to work my heavy bag at home but if you're at the boxing gym you should use 14oz for the heavy bag (avoid to get tired quickly) and 10oz for the mitts. I think if you want to work your technique you should do rounds of shadow boxing instead of using 10oz gloves in the heavy bag because that's an invitation to get badly injured. I got the Rival RB 50(poor wrist and knuckle protection) and they say those are bag gloves but hell no, those gloves are horrendous if you have big hands and if you like to use a proper hand wraps. Now I'm looking forward to get the Title Gel boxing gloves, maximum protection and durability. I like to focus on the endurance, the high pace and develop a strong high guard so a 16 to 20oz gloves are a must for me.
I use size 14 oz for the heavy bag. I also use wraps, 3,5 meter longs, they could be a little longer maybe. I sometimes wrap some extra fabric to protect my knuckles, I find that with hard punches, without the little extra, the knuckles tend to be sore afterwards and I prefer not to get much or any soreness. Not sure if accumulated hard striking could have a negative effect on the knuckles, some have said that it might in the very long run lead to some arthritis but not sure. Overall I think 14 oz is the best for me for about 0,5 hour - 1 hour of high intensity on the heavy bag and some low intensity to warm up and cool down added. I haven't really used 10 oz or 16 oz that much, 10 oz might be fun just for the feeling, I haven't sparred yet.
Love the channel. Been watching you for a few years. I box to stay in shape for soccer refereeing. I had Achilles issues last year in March. I didn't referee or box since mid- March last year. Trying to motivate myself to wake up at 4am again. Of course I added weight in the past 12 months. I use the 14oz Hayabusa.
10 oz fight gloves for me. I like feeling the bag. Mexican style of course. I wanna play with those old school bag gloves too though. Been watching this channel for years. Cool concept for a vid 👌
I use 16 all around. They are havier and have more protection. On the other hand, getting used with the heavier ones, it'll be easier when you'll use 10s or 12. But there is also a downside in the fact that they are slowing you down at the beginning and it's harder to keep your hands up
Plus the fact that u dont defend the same way with 16 oz. I have 18oz for the "sangoku effect" as u describe. And u cant defend the same way with smaller gloves. Great to improve shoulder resistance but poor in simulating a fight :/
I'm unsing 12oz for years now and after every heavy bag session my biceps hurts. The doc couldn't find a thing. I thought thats bc getting older (36 now) was the problem but now I know the real issue. Thank you so much 👍🏽 Need to go back to the old school gloves especially that I'm not fighting or sparring anymore
I've had this exact same problem. It's bicep tendinitis. It's because the front deltoid is tight and is taking too much load. If you stretch your pecs and front delts for 3-4 weeks you'll start to see the improvement.
I had to train Bare Handed for a long time because my hands were so long that my finger knuckles would be connecting in most gloves. It took some time and patience to develop the correct timing to keep each joint stable and avoid scraping my knuckles, but through consistency and careful repetition I can and do now spend all day everyday throwing full speed and power punches to any part of the bag without gloves or wraps or fear or injury. Even to the hard bottom of the bag. I recently found a pair of 16oz FTG2's at a second hand store, so I can finally spar! Hope it translates to gloves lol Going to take some time with my coach getting used to them. He's had me training with metal egg shaped hand weights to prepare for the bigger gloves.
Thank you for the detailed video. I'm hitting the gym and working the heavy bag for the first time. I've never owned the right gloves because I didn't know the differences. This was a great guide to get started. I'm thinking of starting with the 12oz, then get the 16's in case I join a class and spar. I have the hand wraps, I'll save using just those on the bag until I get a good teacher. I don't wanna further injure my hands. God bless.
I always used 12oz for both bag and sparring. Recently, I went to a bodybuilding gym that had 8oz gloves and a boxing bag. I put those on and started hitting the bag. The handspeed, accuracy, power everything felt Godlike. In fact, I can now go all out with 8oz without injuring myself. On the other hand with 12oz I feel that if I am not super accurate I hurt my wrists.
I personally think my 14oz powerlock gloves are my fav for bagwork and pads, I used to use 18oz to build stamina but it made me more confident than accurate. I've been using mma turtle shell gloves which make me more conscious of wrist alignment and position of knuckles when I finish my punch. Thanks for the videos been a fan for a minute.

Thanks for the vid. I was wondering if u could advise me which glove size should i buy for hitting bag only(cardio+strength). btw I’ve never trained with bag before.
Probably just me, But ive been striking in both boxing and Muay Thai for a couple years now. I found 16oz helped me load up my shots more effectively without injuries and toughen up my shoulder, 12oz Helped condition my wrist and hands/knuckles. But the thing is 12oz helped my Parrying and blocking shots in a real fight. The 16 were bigger and bulkier so i lift my arm up everything is protected. Whereas 12oz, I lift up, it not as padded and the hits are felt more. My lil 2 cents, Cheers.
Being 6'5 230lbs i opt for the 14oz glove which wasn't mentioned here. I use it as an allrounder glove as in this weight class, it would be pretty poor form to use 12oz gloves or below in sparring. The damage profile is just too high. Good video
I use 16 for everything. i have some gel glove inserts that I use when I want to practice without a heavy glove, and also I do a lot of shadowboxing without the gloves between my heavy bag cycles so I am used to less weight. I also like to wear a harness when I do these exercises.
I recomend you hit the bag bare knuckle in the beggining of the training session. When you are tired you are way more likely to throw a bad shot and hurt your hand
Most of the time, waffle batter is already premade at Waffle House. Therefore measurements aren’t necessary. Preferably oz to pounds, rather than oz to ml. You catch my drift?
I think a important consideration would be someone size and weight. I'm 6'2 250lbs and always hit the bag with 16's and spar with 16's (muaythai) really i should be wearing 18s or 20s if sparred harder like boxers do.
Thank you very much for the quick reaction! I'm going to have a go at 16oz gloves (I've ordered the Adidas 175 speed blue/yellow). Thanks again, subbed for the fast info, is big help
I'm an older gentleman and use the bags as part of my keep fit routine I do them after my weights. I usually use bag mitts. Sometimes my hands hurt afterwards. Shall I use 14 or 16 oz gloves instead. I'm a heavy person as well
coming from Kyokushin (bare knuckle) to KB, I found that I didn't need support or protection as much as I need to be able to make a proper fist inside the glove, and contact with knuckles instead of down on the fingers. I have not found a single glove that is very good for this. All boxing gloves are built in a way that makes the first contact with fingers - or second knuckles. The only way I have found to remedy this is to use Muai Thai style wrapping, when you build a thick pad over the knuckles first, and that changes the point of contact on the bag. In the end, I find I get less injuries striking in wraps than I get using gloves.
I’m very new so my opinion don’t count but I love my box raw hand wraps and I use 16oz gloves for speed training and pretty much everything and I use my hand wraps for accuracy
I have a pair of 32oz Ring to Cage: -they are great for conditioning -like the he said about the 16ozs "you can find yourself off balance when you get into the ring." -the front end of the glove is so padded that it creates of bad habit with your aiming, and the odds of rolling your wrist is stupidly high - Good tool if you have a probably keeping your hands up. -because they are so heavy it' takes a lot of mental effort to make sure your punch comes back the way it went out Plus- all that speed you'd think you get with training with the heavy heavy gloves- goes away after the first minute of not using them 🤷. Just thought I'd share. P.S Ring to Cage also makes 50oz gloves!
I work out with 18 oz Hayabusa gloves on an aqua training bag. Head and shoulders above the rest in regards to avoiding injury. I know the gloves may seem heavy, but I’m 5’8” and around 230 pounds. Lighter folks could probably use lighter gloves. Hayabusa has the best wrist protection out there
Hey so i don't box professionally i just like to go to the gym and hit the heavy bag. My hands always get hurt after i box. What gloves do you think are best for me ? I currently use 12oz gloves and I'm 165lbs
16oz more padding more protection. The 10oz gloves are for actual fights. Plus use hand wraps and learn how to put it correctly on your hands. That's the key.
From my experience when you train boxing if you do it almost bare handed it will condition your wrists but make sure you are not a beginner and dont punch the bag with all your power if you care about your hands. Or if you use big gloves, around 16,18oz it'll be harder 'cus they are bigger and heavier, they are usually better for sparring so youll protect your parthner's head and your hands too. I suggest doing both things, condition every part, train every part. Bigger gloves - increasing the punching speed/power. No gloves - conditioning the wrist.
I like to use full leather in only one layer, meaning gloves of pure skin with no artificial lining. I use contructiongloves and they really alllow s you to feel and sense the way the hand hit when nonsupported and stops your skin from fractureing due to the leathter. It really is great and i use these even mostly when hitting bag. I have many pairs so to keep them fresh and not moistoried due to lengthly wear. I use no wraps inside them. They learn, when you know anatomy of wrist and hand, you to keep the bones more and better aligned.
