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

Women are now boxing and the gloves are made for them. Boxing gloves now come in all colors due to this sort of new phenomenon. The female boxers are excellent by the way!
