asked on 

measurement of boxing gloves

http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Leather-Training-Gloves-16-Ounce/dp/B00114TSPC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451135740&sr=8-1&keywords=Title+boxing+glove

I'm looking at getting the above but can't decide if I should get a 14 or 16 or 18 oz
glove : are these equivalent to small, med & large sizes?

My thumb (& little finger) is 4.5 cm long while my pointer finger is 6cm long.
So which of the gloves best fit me?

Would a larger glove fit a smaller hand?  I thought of getting a larger one so that
even my teenager could use it

I've never used boxing gloves before but setting up one

That is a good point, and Amazon has listed cheaper gloves only by weight. I looked through the page and there was no other indication of size.

@sunhux - you may want to try a sporting goods outlet that know what they are doing.

Thanks very much.

Our local sports outlets charge almost double for the same glove that
Amazon is selling

Guess I'll try the 16oz ones as I'm looking at 120lbs : better to have a
bigger glove than one that's too tight, am I adopting a right assumption,
Paul?

I think from the Amazon site that you are correct in your assumption.

Miscellaneous

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
