another boxing question

[primetime21db37]

first, which heavy bag is best? 70 lbs, or 100 lbs? also, what type of gloves should i use for the heavy bag? probably a stupid question. how do u figure out the sizes?

[When It Cuts]

get a membership to your nearest boxing gym, all you have to buy is hand wraps. You will learn 10x as fast probably faster by going to a gym. To answer your question 100 lbs is probably better and IMO use regular 16 ounce(the biggest i think) sparring gloves for the bag. Theyll protect your hands and youll get used to punching with heavy gloves on. but you still need to wrap your hands!!!

what does wrapping your hands accomplish... ive always wondered that.

I think it's for more protection and support so you don't break your fingers or hand. I could be wrong though.

if you dont...your hands will start bleeding. The bag is rough and punching it bare hand cuts the crap out of it. Also wrist support so.
