all this "illegal hand wrap bs"

by your logic then it would be better for the trainer to exclude covering the knuckles with tape and gauze, or use as little as possible... right? I mean the knuckles are harder then any combination of tape n gauze that you or anyone else can come up with. What all you geniuses are ignoring is the fact that the purpose of hand wraps is to protect the small bones of the hands n wrists. Common sense???

 

a few feet of gauze n tape LOL you are talking about a weight addition of a few grams. LOL Add that to your physics.

 

Thank you. I look at some of these posts and find myself dumbfounded that people would offer such baseless and illogical opinions, and do so with no direct knowledge of what they are talking about.
As for the new kid... thanks for the well wishes. He has been boxing now for 6 months, is 11-0, 4 wins by stoppage, and has scored standing 8 counts in all of his fights.

4ths fight... 3 months after he began boxing.

 

tape on the skin on the knuckles makes the knuckles harder because its compacting the knuckle n skin? I'm speechless.
Question for you... how many hands have you wrapped, how many amateurs have you worked with, how many amateurs have you turned pro and guided to a world title, and how many pros have you trained? I'm interested in knowing where your "insightful" opinion comes from.

 

High horse? My opinion comes from 12 yrs. of real world experience. Not from what I read on boxing website, forums, or what I watch on TV n YouTube.

 

I post on these forums to give "fans" insight into what really goes on in boxing... in training... in training camps... behind the scenes n so on. I gained my knowledge through experience... by taking advantage of having good teacher the had the knowledge I was seeking, and when he educated me I didn't tell him to "get off his high horse" because I saw a youtube video, read some bs on a boxing website, or because I saw something on TV. Stupidity isn't defined by what not knowing the answer to a question or problem... it's defined by a persons refusal to accept that he doesn't know the answer, and his refusal to accept guidance in finding the knowledge.
