Lace-Up Boxing Gloves

When it comes to determining which boxing glove design fits your specific training needs, there are various factors to consider. One aspect is the type of closure you prefer. Some gloves use a traditional lace-up design, while others have a wrap-around hook-and-loop style of closure.

Lace up boxing gloves provide some features you may not get from a wrap-around style. For one, when putting on lace up boxing gloves, you begin tightening them deeper into the palm area than most wrap around closures are designed to reach. This can give you a better, more secure, contoured fit. Although laces don’t give you the additional layer of wrist support that a wrap-around closure does, pulling the laces tightly as you put them on allows you to get a more personalized fit to the individual shape of your hand and wrist.

Another consideration is that most gloves used for sparring are lace up boxing gloves, so if you want a glove that is designed for that type of use, lace ups are preferred by most gyms and most trainers.

Sparring gloves typically range in sizes or weights from 12-18 ounces, as opposed to amateur competition or professional fight gloves. Once you get out of the gym and into competition, lighter weight gloves are used. Specifically, 10oz boxing gloves and 12 oz boxing gloves are used in the amateurs and 8 oz and 10oz boxing gloves are used in the pros.

Some smaller fighters use lighter gloves in the gym, but it is dependent on their fighting weight. The reason most fighters use 12-18 oz gloves in the gym, instead of lighter weight gloves, really comes down to your weight, safety, and protection. The weights used for sparring can be based on personal preference in some instances, but is typically determined by the weight division you compete in. Generally, fighters who weigh up to 90lbs wear 8–12-ounce gloves, those who weigh 91-135lbs wear 12–14-ounce gloves, fighters who weigh136-150lbs. wear 14-16 ounce, and any fighter over 150lbs should be wearing 16–18-ounce gloves when they spar.
