I have be a mature boxer for about 6 year now and i never own a 16oz glove before . I only have 10 's and 14 's and have a really hard time to find spare partner with those . one of my boxing buddy recommend these for I and i must say they really do a good job protect my hand and my sparring buddy . i would recommend these for anybody , they be cheap and be comfortable . to who ever be concerned about the size of the glove , the 16oz glove be usually a large !
