Hey, i just recently got into boxing, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a pair of heavy bag gloves? I am a 6' heavyweight with reasonably big hands. I went to our local sports store, and 12 oz felt about right, although they didn't really have much of a selection, and i can get them cheaper online.

Also, do more ounces in a glove mean the fit of the glove is actually bigger, or does that just mean it has more padding.....or both?

Thanks a lot

Hey! For your size (6' heavyweight with big hands), I'd recommend 14 oz or 16 oz gloves for heavy bag work. They'll offer better protection for your hands and wrists. As for your question, more ounces mainly means more padding, not a bigger fit. The glove's hand compartment doesn't necessarily change with the padding size, so if you have big hands, check reviews or look for gloves known to fit larger hands. Brands like Ringside, Winning, and Title are solid choices.
