    and then ward pounded a new ******* in him......the way his trainer was doing it, was the way trinidad was doing it (layers of tape and gauze over and over and over each other).....does this method of wrapping really make you punch that much harder....bhop and his team said it was like getting hit with a bat, and wards trainer didnt look to pleased when he saw that either.............

    the glue on the tapes hardens and the more layers the harder it is.

    his team said "its only cheating if you get caught" so i'm assuming they've also done this........but really though, i dont know....there's an article where they say that, just google it

    Naz Richardson is a trainer that has been around for a while and knows all the tricks of the trade. He had made that comment about Titos wraps, and I'm sure he might of had experience dealing with fighters who fought using this method of wrappings.

    I wonder how often Kessler does this because his trainer acted as if he was shock that he couldn't..lol.

    I wouldn't doub't it. a little extra here, a little extra there.

    Back in the day, Alexis Arguello used to wrap his own hands. Maybe fighters should start doing that. That way they can't blame their trainer for loading their wraps without them knowing.

    Very interesting part of that Fight Camp 360. I don't think it would have affected the outcome of the fight either way tho. As someone said earlier, no one stopped Ward from coming in head-first.

    That's what I said. Wrap or no wrap, it wouldn't have affected the outcome of the fight.
