Heavybag glove help

Connor O'Sullivan · 06-08-2009, 09:37 PM

Hey guys im buying new gloves for use on a heavybag and sparring. I would rather get the regular boxing gloves than the bag gloves so I can use them for the heavybag and sparring. Would these gloves work for the heavybag as well? Heres the link to the 2 types. Help me out plz

12-14 oz are good for both sparring and bag work. If you're training MMA though, I'd suggest that you get these gloves http://www.combatsports.com/prodinfo.asp?number=TG4S
Enough padding to use on the heavy bag and sparring, but also good for grappling. These are what amateur fighters wear in NJ.

Iwould stay away from warrior and go with a brand that has been around awhile...more quality. I myself use fairtex, i use 8oz for bag work and 14oz for sparring. I do like the higher end of everlast stuff, grants are to bulky and Windy are alittle bulky to. Reyes are hard as a rock, and if you a asswhole use those for sparring....I have yet to try on or see Rival,throwdown, or other off brands...oh yeah tapout glove seemed alittle cheap to me.

I got a set of everlast 16oz gloves i use them at my gym all the time i love them they are the shit. Hayabusa makes a pretty nice pair of gloves too, one of the dude at my gym has them they have 2 velcro straps so you can make em nice and tight and they wont come undone. really nice gloves.

A guy at the gym had some new Gel ones, he said he loved those things and they felt awesome....i think they were title. Has anyone tryd the brand Fighting sports yet...they look like great gloves, just never seen any in person?????"?

for the heavybag, you want to use both big and small gloves. you want to use big gloves (18oz sparring gloves) to work on hand speed. when using big gloves hit the bag with low power and just focus on speed. throw as many punches as you can as fast as you can. the great weight makes your hand speed increase and remember to try to keep your hands up between punches, this makes keeping your hands up with lighter gloves easier and your hand speed in regular gloves (and overall) will increase.

you want to get a small pair of 12oz training gloves to work on keeping your wrists straight when you punch, this also increases power and will help prevent you from breaking your hand in the future. throw hard shots and work combinations with the 12oz guys.

using one or the other will not be beneficial, you have to use both. other exercises you can do will also increase your hand speed, like shadow boxing with 5 pound weights in each hand.

as far as brands go, i use everlast myself, they're durable and cheap. fairtex stuff is great as well, but outrageously overpriced. century is pretty good (but not for the heavier gloves, the heavier century gloves suck ass). i have the woldorff shin pads, they were expensive but well worth it.
i would just go with everlast, they're really good gloves, they're cheap and i've never had a problem with them.

just buy some classic 16 oz hook and loop gloves and you can use them for both sparring and bag work

nahh i wouldnt recomend those at all for bag work. it hurts like hell on your wrist everytime you throw a hook.
