Canelo and his legal, illegal handwraps.

Didn't Pac do a similar thing? To me it always looked kinda fishy.

Like you can argue about how effective it is all you want, 90% of the people here have no clue. But still it's rather unorthodox and kinda falls in the grey area as far as the law goes, so for them to be doing it, it must be advantageous and probably highly so. The argument of "Oh it doesn't make much of a difference" seems kind of disingenuous.

As far as Robert Garcia advocating for it, he says he's doing it himself whenever he has a chance, which means he's biased as he and his fighters are benefiting from it.

 

Do you not think it's weird how several different fighters with completely different teams behind them have all said they think it's illegal? These are experienced guys who don't have a history of crying wolf on hand wraps.

Now I know you could find him putting on knuckle dusters and somehow you'd find a way to justify it to yourself so I'm interested to see what mental gymnastics you'll do here to convince yourself that Canelo is 100% legit on this regard and always has been.

 

Gobble gobble gobble. All these fighters and their teams question shady Canelo practices are jealous tinfoil nuts. He's a clean wholesome guy despite all this fake news about hand wraps and dodgy steaks. Don't believe then check out this video from Mexican cheerleader Garcia which proves it.

This people is why Canelo fans have in the last 18 months become the ****ing worst. I really hope a good fair minded Mexican superstar emerges soon so you can all hitch yourselves to his bandwagon and sack off this pampered ginger cheat.

 

That knuckle duster is to protect my fighter's hands, honest!

 

I can tell you the commissions are very afraid of a PED positive fighter, or illegals wraps that contribute to a fatality in the ring. And they should be. So they do care but when it’s the golden goose in boxing ( Canelo ) they can look the other way.

However this golden goose has bene caught red handed as a PED abuser, and others suspect some rule bending with his wraps. There is a way to tighten the tape and produce rock like exterior under the padding, and it should be illegal. Tito’s wraps were done this way, he must have had several layers of thick tape on them.

 

It's contaminated tape! It's a real problem in er... Nevada!

 

IMO GGG should do the same thing and also do the Kovalev thing with handstands and punching the wall before the fight to make it as hard as possible.

 

Easy we all know that Bob Bennett and the NSAC ALONG WITH Vegas boxing are corrupt and are doing all they can to ensure a clenelo cash cow win legal or illegal

 

The officials stood over as they wrapped Margarito's hands & PASSED them. Then that POS Richardson demanded they be removed & claimed PLASTER BLOCKS fell out ROFL
The officials see what they want to see

 

That POS Richardson sees things that aren't there like the PLASTER BLOCKS he claimed fell from Margarito's wraps
No one else saw them Why wasn't the lying dirt bag questioned about it ??
The NSAC must not be corrupt They stated " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating" ROFLMAO

There's a hilarious comment in the comments section that uses Gabe 'Glass Skin' Rosada being bloodied as evidence.

Anyway if multiple fighters say that they think the gloves might be dodgy and need checking then I'd say they need looking at closely for his upcoming fights. If Oscar and Canelo have doubts they should say.

 

When ggg loses all the excuses in the world won't save him. Sanchez must be worried about his fighter.

 

what's interesting about this video is that Rosado said that "for whatever reason his [gloves] were missing a little more cushion on the knuckles".

And then we have Sanchez complaining that Canelo was using "too much" gauze, the opposite of what Rosado was complaining about. (GGG having too little gauze, too little cushion on his knuckles)

Flamazide and his buddy Dirsspaardis were basically mocking the idea that hand wraps provide cushion, but yet that seems to be what Rosado was complaining about how GGG had too little gauze, too little cushion.

Now if Flamazide and Dirsspaardis are correct that wraps don't provide cushion, then how are we supposed to interpret what Rosado is saying? It seems to me that what Rosado experienced was that he felt Gennady's hands (or wraps) through the glove when Gennady punched, instead of the normal cushion of the outside of the gloves. How would it be that you would feel somebody's knuckles / hands through the glove when they punched? It seems to me that could happen if there wasn't enough cushion in the glove OR if there wasn't enough gauze on the hand wraps, anotherwords too much space inside the glove like I was talking about earlier.

Regardless of which of those two it is, my takeaway from this is that Sanchez is complaining about how Canelo had too much gauze right? But yet Rosado was complaining about the opposite, that Gennady didn't have enough gauze on his hand wraps. (or perhaps not enough cushion inside the glove somehow)

Earlier in this topic, Flamazide was arguing that stacking (having too much gauze) is a health risk to the opponent. But yet Rosado was saying the opposite, that he was upset that Gennady had what he believed to be too little gauze, too little cushion as Rosado said, and that he felt Gennady's hands when he punched. So based upon what Rosado is saying, the health risk stems from a fighter having not enough gauze on his hand wraps (or too little padding inside the glove) as opposed to having too much gauze on a hand wrap.

I'd like Flamazide and Dirsspaardis to respond to this claim by Rosado, and what you both believe Rosado was experiencing with feeling Gennady's hands when he punched as opposed to the cushion of the gloves / hand wraps. That sounds to me a pretty big health risk to a fighter when he's hit with a punch and he feels a fighter's hand connect with his head instead of the normal cushioning of the glove. Feeling someone's hands connect with your head through a glove would be a much bigger health risk / danger to the opponent than somebody stacking hand wraps to provide more protection / cushioning no?

 

So what do they do differently with Canelo's? In that case Sanchez should just wrap Golovkin's hands the same way lol
