all this "illegal hand wrap bs"

When i trained Kermit he was undefeated. 24-0 22ko's. So before you talk you should get your facts correct.

 

They most certainly were not loaded. I watched the wrap from beginning to end. Tape n gauze only.

 

So as to make sure incidents like the Margarito situation don't happen. Trust me when i tell you... no combination, or amount of gauze n tape is going to create anything resembling a cast. Not to mention... over wrapping a hand is going to compromise a fighters ability to tightly close his fist. Which is probably the worst thing that could happen in response to how hands are wrapped.

 

As I stated many times... some trainers are better at wrapping hands then others. Yes some wraps are firmer then others, but I can assure you that this is done for the protection of the hand. If these wraps are so hard that they do damage to tones in the face... would;t they do the same thing to the knuckles given the fact the the wrap is placed directly on the knuckles. Hand wraps are for the protection of the knuckles, small bones of the hands, and the wrists. PERIOD! What a good hand wrap does is give a fighter the confidence to punch with full force because he knows his hands are well protected. As for your comment "a wrap impacts how hard a fist is" I once again say this... tape and gauze are just that... tape n gauze. They are there are a cushion between the impact points of a punch... which are knuckles to face, chuckles to head, and knuckles to parts of the body. The object of wraps is to a buffer to help absorb the kinetic energy. If a guy punches harder with a his hands wrapped a certain way it is only because he feels confident that his hands are well protected. I would also like to point out that hand injuries usually originate in the amateurs because the regulations on how hands can be wrapped are much more restrictive. The amount of tape n gauze you may use is drastically reduced resulting in many more hand injuries.

 

yes and here is why Paquiao busted up Margaritos face worse then Mosely. Compubox stats for Margarito vs Mosely... number of punches landed by Mosely... 178. Compubox stats Paquiao vs Margarito... number of punches landed by Paquiao 474! Nearly 300 punches more punches landed.
