There are usually several ways to know the size of boxing gloves:
According to the weight choice:
boxing gloves are generally based on a set of weight to divide the size, the common sizes are 10OZ (oz), 12OZ (oz), 14OZ (oz), 16OZ (oz) and so on. Fighters who generally weigh between 60 and 70 kilograms can buy 10OZ. Fighters weighing between 71 and 80 kilograms can purchase 12OZ (oz) boxing gloves; Fighters weighing 81 to 90 kilograms can buy 14OZ (oz) boxing gloves; Fighters weighing more than 91 kg can purchase 16OZ (oz) boxing gloves.
Measure your palm size:
To make sure your glove is the right size, you need to accurately measure the circumference or length of your palm. First, measure the length and width of your hand yourself. To measure, place your palm facing up and use a soft ruler to measure the width of your palm horizontally from the base of your thumb, then measure the length vertically from the center point of your middle finger down to where your palm meets your wrist. The size of gloves is usually determined according to the width and length of the palm.
In addition, the material and brand of boxing gloves are also factors that need to be considered when choosing. The material is generally PU leather, microfiber leather and pure leather, and the inner liner is mostly some fillers, such as horse hair, sponge, PVC material and so on. When choosing a brand, you can pay attention to some professional and popular brands, such as Adams.
In short, when choosing the size of boxing gloves, you should consider factors such as your weight, palm size and glove material and brand.
