Boxing gloves were introduced to the sport for two reasons. The first is to protect the boxer's hands and knuckles from injuries. Later the gloves were given a white circular pattern to use in scoring amateur fights. The boxer had to ensure the full circle tagged His opponent to score a point. The professional boxer's use 8 oz gloves, gym sparring tend to use 16 oz gloves
