Weighted Gloves? What do you guys think of them?

[cameronpaul]

the key to keeping speed is to alternate between weighted gloves and normal gloves.
keep the mind on throwing fast when you've got weights on your hands and when you havnt and the speed will come. i think powers all in the mind, so just concentrate on your speed.

From my experience Ive increased dramatically by using weights to shadow box and using 16oz gloves to spar.

The russian Olympic team in the past said their speed improved when they used weights for speed drills.

Floyd Mayweather uses 20oz gloves in training

try to avoid anything that weighs more than 16oz, unless you're pretty darn good at boxing

too much weight often ruins your form. if you're still developing skills and technique, 5 pounds of extra weight will ruin that
