Glove Weight and Size Guide

[@majinzanza]

WOW!! This is THE most comprehensive glove size/glove weight video on KZbin! Super informative, and the history behind everything was extremely interesting too! I feel a lot better that I made the correct decisions on my glove choices now lol.

[@Garylicious1102]

Great Video again! Your detailed explanations really helped me to choose my first gloves.

[@combat_corp]

I am so happy to read this! Thank you so much!

[@zinhtetmaung2553]

Hello from Myanmar ! Just found your channel and your videos helped out a lot for my glove purchases as well. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@combat_corp]

So glad I could help my friend

[@valentinoooo8368]

hey bro love the video, i wacth your vids all the time to know more bout mostly boxing gloves 💯

[@combat_corp]

Thank you!!!

[@6Mar99]

Im 5'9 180 lbs, but the problem is that my hands is smaller than my wife whos 4"10. Our hand circumstances is roughly around 7". Another problem is that the only good brands available in my country is twins special and fairtex You're really good at explaining things!!

[@sashaa234]

Thank you sir, your explanations are very useful.

[@shannaerickson6148]

wow THANK YOU for this awesome video. I'm getting started in boxing (coming from very traditional karate) and am learning so much from your channel. what heavy bag glove(s) would you recommend for a smaller boxer? I'm 5'2", 125lb, 7.25" hand circumference. I'm looking for wrist protection, good hand padding, and a snug fit for my small hands. for fun let's say price is not a factor. I'm willing to pay for a quality glove. My current plans are for heavy bag only, and I'll purchase separate sparring gloves later as needed. hope you had an awesome day.

[@combat_corp]

This comment made me smile ear to ear! I would genuinely say anything by Rival. The RB10s are amazing as are the RFX guerrero bag gloves by Rival. The rb2 are great by rival too. I would also say that the T3 by Hayabusa do a great job for bag work too.

[@Mercedes_USA]

Thanks for the in depth explanation 🔥🔥

[@vals2534]

Awesome video and timely indeed. Question for you. i am your height but weigh 200. I am looking at Windy 10/12 Oz gloves, but never bought Windy. Do you think these will fit my hands fine or do they run small. Any input appreciated!

[@combat_corp]

My question is to you WHICH model windy did you get? They do run a little bigger than some thai gloves

[@ICXCNIKA95]

Do your hands fit in a 10 or 12 oz glove like they fit in a larger glove? We’re about the same size and I want to get a pair of gloves that are lighter for different uses. Thank you great vid

[@eyeofsauron2812]

I'm about 135 pounds and 5'8, shirt size S. I have now recovered from wrist injuries and I need protective gloves as to not injure myself again. From my research the Hayabusa 3 gloves and Kanpki seem to be some of the best for wrist protection. Should I get them in 12 ounces? Or are there better gloves or sizes for me?

[@davidbargiel1963]

Love the videos man!!! Your opinion, I am new and would want to be serious and consistent. I am considering purchasing TM Boxeo. Mainly cause I want gloves to grow in and keep for a long time. What's your opinion on this? Also, you did mention sizing of clothing. However I am 6 foot, 190 lbs but my hand size is average. Would you still recommend 16OZ? Or 14OZ?

[@michaeltoste8871]

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. I would love your thoughts on my situation. I am 45 years old 5’9 190lbs and in pretty good shape. I have large Rival old school RB5 mitts in size large. I also have Reyes 16oz extra padding. I mostly hit a 75lb aqua bag. Both my gloves are great but I was considering a pair of hit n moves balanced in hopes they would be a little softer. As far as shirt size I wear a large or XL depending on the shirt. I could send a pic if it helps. What size would you recommend? Or would you recommend something else entirely?

[@jimphillipsmusic8524]

Great video. Really helpful, thank you.

[@joshualee5215]

Nice! enjoy the historical and industry info you add to these videos. What are your thoughts on the idea that having heavier gloves (16oz+) are better for sparring not only due to padding (which varies and you demonstrated), but also that is "slows down the fighter" some to protect each other? Another Myth or some Truth there?

[@combat_corp]

For sure some truth there! If an athlete isn't used to those gloves it can definitively make a difference but if someone is just used to using 16s all the time, come fight time their hands will fly. Did I answer the question? I hope so I might of read it wrong lol

[@joshualee5215]

@@combat_corp I'd say you did! Good point, pretty much everyone is used to 16oz in one way or another if you do these sports lol. Thanks again!

[@georgeescobar4007]

Thank you for the video and info! I'm looking for a lace up training glove similar to Grant, that's not as pricey. I'm 5'10, about 250 and usually wear medium bag gloves. Would you say New Sporting is a good choice? What would you recommend? Thank you! All the best!

[@Bogdan-Kremlin]

In my country Romania most of the gyms have 12 ounces for everything

[@Bogdan-Kremlin]

Did you tried the gloves made by Buakaw ? Banchamek is the name of gloves

[@jaydo1879]

Thanks for the info!

[@combat_corp]

Thanks for the comment!

[@nielsreichardt6293]

Thank for the video boss! I have a question regarding my soon te be bought second pair of boxing gloves. I am looking at hit n move gloves for bag work. I am 185 pounds, 6.1 feet, above average size hands. I am leaning towards the 12oz agility gloves. Would you recommend this? Or would the balance be a better option? What do you think of the balance fit/smart fit difference between the both? Thanks and keep up the great videos.

[@combat_corp]

If your hands are "bigger than normal" I'd go for the balance in my opinion

[@MIREYA3235]

My son is 15yo, 6'3",around 250lbs, knuckles 4.5" wide, around 8.5" hands length. He suffered a thumb and wrist fracture 2 years ago, so he wants hood wrist support. He just started training Muay thai, he haves zero experience punching. He bought combat corner s-class boxing gloves 14oz because they were recommended to him. I love your videos and your knowledge and would love for you to recommend another pair of gloves for my huge boy... Thank you in advance!! I really hope you help us out!!

[@combat_corp]

I would not have gone with 14 oz gloves for someone of his size at all. 16 if not 18 oz gloves for him. For ultimate wrist support, I usually recommend the Hayabusa T3 training gloves. They're expensive nowadays but provide the best all around support in my opinion.

[@MIREYA3235]

​@combat_corp thank you so much, I will get him the Hayabusa T3 as soon as I can on 16 or 18oz ... I really appreciate your help!!

[@MIREYA3235]

​@@combat_corp Guess what?? The T3 didn't fit my son"s big/long hands. his hand does not go all the way in and makes it almost impossible to make a proper fist, plus he said they are super tight. But luckily we found a fighter shop close to us and he was able to try some gloves on... only ones that fit him comfortable with wraps were the Fairtex BGV5 16oz, the BGV9 where a little tighter but his hands do fit all the way in and he"s able to make a propper fist... I thought I would let you know just in case you need to help someone with huge hands like my big boy. WE love your videos and my son keeps saying he will have his own collection of gloves that fit him properly one day like Al.

[@Honest_review85]

It’s even more confusing than this. Brands of boxing define size and padding. Not OZ. Fairtex bgv1 has small size compartment even with 16 oz. I agree with the padding part you talked about. But it also goes for size. A person like your size can’t wear a fairtex bgv1 and be comfortable. So it all comes down to brand eventually

[@combat_corp]

You got it!

[@johanjotun1647]

Are the gloves weighed and matched into equal pairs @ the factory, like drumsticks? Also as a pro is there a glove that feels better to get hit with?

[@scotthuhta3683]

I have bvg9 in 16oz and bvg14 in 12oz, what is a lighter glove then the bv9 and a firmer glover then the bvg14

[@jxlee91]

Do you see any detriment to someone who only uses 16oz gloves for sparring, but 12oz for bag and mitt work? More specifically if someone trains in lighter gloves, would it make them not perform as well when sparring in heavier gloves since they're used to a lighter weight?

[@bch1309]

Hi Al, what is your hand width and length? Just for reference when watching your reviews!

[@combat_corp]

I'll grab my tape measure in the AM and let ya know!

[@YusufWadud]

I’m not sure what glove size to get, I bought a 16oz winning gloves Velcro for conditioning. I also want a lighter glove for technique and speed. I was thinking a 10 oz winning or 12 oz winning glove. I’m 200 pounds 5’8.

[@jordicanedo4398]

22:13 but when they say 4 ounces they are referring to the padding in the knuckles not total weight right? That’s what I thought it meant just the padding and then the rest can add a little extra weight🧐

[@devilsander4741]

Hi I’m 6.2 and walk around 85 kilos and my hand width is around 9.5 and from up to down about 8 can you please tell me wich fairtax bg1 glove will fit me

[@xhonatanblini]

I am almost the same size as you (6.3 90 kg) i use 16 oz

[@kiagholampour]

the man can fight as well as break down the proper glove a fighter might need? what can't he do?

Sing, dance, lose weight, be smarter....I'll stop there lol!

Hi. For kickboxing and Muay Thai professional fights, what 10oz lace up gloves would you recommend?

Im around 5'5 275 cutting down to 168, and my fingers reaches the very tip of 12oz venum gloves. So should i still use 16oz for an all purpose glove
