Sparring gloves are used for direct fights between boxers. The standard pair of boxing gloves are not sparring gloves because they are from 8oz to 12oz. These gloves are too small for sparring. However, the sparring gloves are either 14oz or 16oz depending upon the fighter’s requirements.

Most MMA sparring gloves are between 12oz to 14oz for most male boxers. While, females use 10oz to 12oz MMA sparring gloves during practice.

Conclusion

That’s it. These are some of the best MMA sparring gloves for beginners who are just starting to box. You can buy any of these but in my opinion the RDX gloves are the best, though a little costly.

On the other hand, you can go with durafoam Sanabaul and Suten punching bags but they are low on padding so you have to think carefully before ordering an MMA punching bag gloves pair.
