| Registered User | What is your weight? It makes a slight difference.... If you're under 145-150 lbs, 14 oz gloves are fine. If you're over that, 16 oz (or bigger!) is the way to go. Over 200 lbs, you should be looking at 18-20 oz gloves. (Just an opinion, don't take this as gospel)

![]() | Well i'm about 160lbs but i am 6ft 4 so i'm pretty skinny. I already have a pair of 12oz gloves that were fine for sparring, but they were a less well known brand (thai gear, anyone?). I'm just not sure how the brand sizes differ.

![]() | I've also checked various other brands' sites, and some of their sparring gloves start at 12oz, with their fight gloves at 8 and 10oz. However some brands don't start sparring gloves until 14oz, so i'm not really sure.

| Registered User | Go to www.ringside.com and get the Cleto Reyes gloves. THEY ARE AWESOME! They use them in K-1 too. Other than that, I rekon that Twins gloves are great. I have a pair of Raja Boxing gloves from Thailand. Great quality + construction, but I tried the Cletos and my hands never wanted to leave em |
