What weight of boxing gloves for different uses
Boxing gloves are measured in ounces, with one ounce being about twenty-eight grams. The heavier the glove, the more padding it has: gloves weighing ten to twelve ounces are suitable for bag work and focus mitts for most adults, while those weighing fourteen or sixteen ounces are necessary for sparring to protect your partner. The beginner gloves Metal Boxe, like the Starter, combine soft foam with a Velcro closure that allows them to be put on without assistance. Thai boxing gloves have a shorter cuff and a softer palm, making it easier to grab in close combat.

Wraps, helmet and cup: protecting the boxer
Under the gloves, boxing wraps support the wrist and metacarpals: a four-metre wrap, like the one from Montana, covers an adult hand with several passes between the fingers. The synthetic training helmet from Metal Boxe protects the cheekbones and eyebrows, and more enveloping models, from Leone or adidas, are used for intense sparring. The cup is worn from the first bouts. In kickboxing, foot protectors, like the Kwon Phantom, and shin guards Metal Boxe absorb shocks to the shin and instep, for both oneself and the partner.
Other sports on clearance
The clearance extends to other sports: football, running, lifestyle, bikes, motorbike, handball, basketball, equestrian, camping, on the clearance page.
Boxing shoes, shorts and vests
Boxing shoes, like the Lonsdale Heskin or adidas Hog, support the ankle during pivots and lateral movements, with a thin sole that lets you feel the floor. In amateur boxing, the vest and competition shorts adidas come in the red or blue colour assigned to each corner, and the wide waistband of the shorts marks the line below which strikes are prohibited. Lonsdale, founded in London in 1960 by former boxer Bernard Hart, bears the name of the Earl of Lonsdale, who also lent his name to the belt awarded to British champions.
Frequently asked questions
Velcro or laced boxing gloves?
Velcro allows you to put them on without help, a plus for training and bag work. Lacing tightens the wrist more precisely and evenly but requires a partner to tie it: it remains the choice for fights.
How to equip a child starting kickboxing?
Children generally use gloves weighing four to eight ounces depending on their age and size. Benlee offers sets combining gloves and shin guards, which are handy for a first club registration in kickboxing.
Which boxer retired undefeated?
Rocky Marciano left the rings in 1956 without a single defeat, with forty-nine wins in as many fights. He remains the only heavyweight world champion to retire undefeated.
How to choose a boxing mouthguard?
A thermoformable model softens for a few seconds in hot water, then molds to the teeth when bitten. It should cover all the upper teeth without hindering breathing during exertion.
What is the difference between boxing and Thai boxing?
Boxing allows only punches, delivered above the waist. Thai boxing, which originated in Thailand, adds kicks, knees, elbows, and clinching, hence the use of shin guards for training.
