all this "illegal hand wrap bs"

Sulfer + Calcium + Oygen = Plaster of Paris.

Please stick to conditioning.

 

Lay off the roids.

 

right but "illegal handwraps" is more than just tape and gauze...i dont think its even about that....they are trying to steer clear other things.

im not sure i understand the point of the thread because you mention illegal handwraps but dumb it down to just gauze and tape when its more to it than that.

they pay attention to it so much because if your going to give your fighter a quick edge it will probaly come then where the hands are the primary weapon so yea illegal wraps SHOULD get a lot of attention.

 

That maybe true... It does make sense ill give u that. That ws my arguement aswell. If nazim didnt katch it, an that seems to be his area of expertise, how are we gonna act like we no more. I do believe handwraps kan help the impact of a punch tho lol.

 

Is Stacking illegal universaly or is it a comishen by comishen?

The issue is that by layering tape, gauze than tape again. When the hands sweat under the gloves the wraping becomes hard. Maybe not cast hard but harder than a hand wraped in a thick padding of leather and whatever stuffing is used.
It may not be noticable with one punch, but as the punches add up it takes a tool.

 

Interesting. Would love to hear more trainers talk about this. I mean, I would think if you add a **** ton of tape and gauze you can possibly get a slightly heavier punch, but obviously that isn't allowed.

 

I do train kids and teenagers. I'm not a big fan of conditioners lending their advice on Boxing matters, especially when they have no idea what they're on about.

It does result in a heavier punch, not the heavy snap that plaster would generate, but more of a dull sort of weight, which accumalates over rounds.

 

Dude check out some Track and Field, tape applied Directly to the skin helps support muscles. I didn't really see how it would work until I looked up the technices and applied them to my athlete when they had a muscle strain. Try applying tape from the back of your hand down to your wrist cover your hand down just past your wrist then put on a regular wrap over the top of the tape let me know it that hand fells more stable than a hand without the tape.

 

its to bring ratings. Seriously, watch the Marg/Pac fight. there was soo much drama before the fight began.

I think the more the public has awareness on what goes on behind the scenes in boxing, the much better.

But Conditioner is right, wraps are done to protect a fighters' hands.

 

Agree.... Plaster though is a different story.

 

Agree, wraps don't add KO power. The only advantage would be if they are hard e.g. plaster, then you have a less cushion where there should be gauze, and that can lead to cuts etc. But punching power is not improved by simply magically wrapping the hands. Look at Resto V Collins...more damage such as bruising and cuts but NO vicious KO power just because padding not there.

 

I am in the industry and I have to say you are wrong on this one.
