Bag gloves are solely designed for punching bags and boxing pads. Therefore, the glove has less padding compared to a boxing glove. Boxing gloves need more padding as they’re used for training and sparring. Especially for sparring as you don’t want to hurt your opponent as opposed to a boxing fight. In summary, choose a bag glove for training on a punching bag/boxing pads and a boxing glove for sparring or more serious boxing training. The size difference between bag gloves and boxing gloves is also another consideration. A bag glove is usually much smaller and lighter. Whereas, a Boxing glove is larger in size, with more padding and space. Boxing gloves are available in a wide range of different weights and they’re weighed in ounces. Generally, the lowest weight is around 4 oz and 6 oz, this weight would be ideal for kids or small ladies. The weight ranges from 8 oz to 18 oz and the weight you choose is based on your height or weight. Both bag and boxing gloves should be designed with a full wrist wrap. This helps you avoid serious injuries to the wrist, hand, forearm and fingers. At RockyGears, all our gloves for Boxing, MMA or Muay Thai, are designed with a full wrist wrap for your protection.
