Boxing gloves size?

Question

I am 16 and weigh in at 145 pounds.. 5'6 what size gloves do I need to boxing another person. Like 14 oz.?

Answer 1

If you are boxing for fun with buddies doing backyard style I would recommend getting 14 to 16 ounce gloves. Also, you should get handwraps, mouthguards and if you want headgear if you are going head shots. My gloves are 18 ounces and I use mouthguards because I lost a tooth in boxing.

Have fun and put your matches on YouTube.
