Boxing gloves
There are different models of boxing gloves developed to fit the individual genre. A good boxing glove for boxing, for example, is very round in the front and is not so wide across the back of the hand. On the other hand, a good boxing glove for Thaiboxing is a glove that is wide across the back of the hand, so there is slightly better protection during double parries. There are also different models, so everyone can find the glove they like best. For example, there are gloves with a wide velcro closure and some models with a not so wide velcro closure, as there are those who want more or less protection and fixation of the wrist during training.
Boxing gloves are not developed in sizes such as small, medium and large. Boxing gloves are given in ounces which is an indication of how much padding is in the glove. Ounce is a weight format, which indicates how much the filling/padding in the glove weighs. So if you have a 10 ounce (Oz) glove that you wear for competitions, versus a 14 Oz glove, the 14 Oz one has more padding and thus more protection for the sparring partner/opponent.
The inside of the boxing glove itself is usually a one-size-fits-all. That is that a boxing glove of 10, 12, 14 and 16 Oz has the same size inner glove and can therefore be adapted to virtually all hands. This inner glove may vary slightly by model and brand.
Ounce sizes such as 6 and 8 are for junior teams and for children. These gloves have a smaller inner glove to fit small hands. An 18 Oz boxing glove is usually used for extraordinary training and for the really big boys. This glove is used for strength training and acid training, as the gloves are much heavier than a 12 oz glove.
