HAND WEIGHTS ARE GOOD.  JUST REMEMBER, ONCE YOU TEAR DOWN YOUR MUSCLES, YOU HAVE TO LET THEM REJUVINATE FOR A DAY BEFORE TEARING THEM DOWN AGAIN.\n\nGOOD LUCK.

Actually depends on your age and all countries follow the weight classes set by AIBA, not just the UK.  Some of the weights are as follows:  \n\nFor Senior and Junior (U-19) boxers there shall be 11 weight classes:\n\n48 kg, 51 kg, 54 kg, 57 kg, 60 kg, 64 kg, 69 kg, 75 kg, 81 kg, 91 kg, and 91+ kg.\n\nFor Female and Cadet (15-16 year olds) boxers there shall be 13 weight classes:\n46 kgs, 48 kgs, 50 kgs, 52 kgs, 54 kgs, 57 kgs, 60 kgs, 63 kgs, 66 kgs, 70 kgs, 75 kgs, 80 kgs and 86 kgs.

along with the other answers here's a quick breakdown\n\n16oz-speed training and endurance: you cant go very long if you cant keep up with your opponent as well as keep throwing your own punches or counters. plus with using 16oz gloves it makes your hands heavier, slower punching, but if you practice your hands once you downsize gloves, will be faster and lighter.\n\n14oz-sparing: basically just the overall get in the ring and practice your technique. since its not as heavy as the 16's you'll still be able to throw fast and accurate.\n\n12oz-bags: use these on the bags so that you have your speed with you as well as training your fist to take the punch (less padding)\n\n10oz-fights: i think its the approved amateur glove weight for bouts

Hey man, we like brothers. I am not exactly skinny, I'm about 170-180lbs. I was on my school's rec. basketball team. I didn't miss one practice. It was fun. I would join and see how it's like. It doesn't matter how much you weigh. Look at Robert Traylor. He was a big man and he played in the NBA for the Cavs. He's a free agent now, but it doesn't matter. He still played the game, and he was successful. If you love the game, then have fun playing it. I'm 13 and in middle school and next year, I'll be going to my high school, and I plan on joining the Fottball team, the basketball team, and the baseball team. I even plan on joining the track team for shotput and discus. All because I love playing sports. I'm a very competitive person. So, join you're basketball team, and DON'T QUIT IT IF YOU JOIN. If you quit, you'll be picked on for quitting and wasting the team's time. So if you feel that you can do it, than join and do it. Best wishes man! PEACE!

well...i know the wrestlers want to be as light as possible for weigh-in - a pair of underpants probably adds 1/4 or a pound at most... though some poeple do have strange likes and rituals...

usually middle school boys use a 8 pound shot put (about 3.6 kg) ... the brand really doesn't matter... hope i helped you out a little!

Go online and check out the websites of various boxing councils. Your state may have a boxing organization. Try them first...they will likely have a list of gyms, trainers, etc. in your vicinity. Be prepared to devote a lot of time and sweat. Good luck to you.

the gloves that he started off wearing are actual boxing gloves, since they have a velcro closure they're probably training gloves, meaning they weight between 12 and 16 ozs a piece. might not sound like much, but you definetely feel it. slows your punches down alot and the padding helps protect the other fighter by absorbing and dispersing the energy from the punch a bit. \n\nwhen he switches gloves, he changes to the same style of gloves that jackie chan is wearing, which are plain bag gloves. all they do is protect your hands from getting cut or burned if you hit a heavy bag wrong and your hands slide. they only weight about 4 or 6 oz a piece. your hands are much faster and your hits land with alot more power.

It actually can depend on the fighters themselves. Part of the contract negotiations and deal when making a fight is agreements such as these for fighters. Sometimes there is a bit of ground that needs to be reached by both camps as one fighter wants a lighter glove while the other wants a heavier glove. Though they are all relatively close in size there is a difference and it changes depending on fighters preference and weight class.
