How much would loaded hand wraps help you anyway?

how much would cutting holes in the nuckle part of the padding of your gloves help?

ask the panama trainer that one.

 

The padding of the gloves limit the impact of the force when the fist lands. Hardened plaster opens up more limit at impact. It's a difference in sensation between being slapped and punched.

 

Buy some Plaster of Paris, let it harden, and feel how hard it is. Just as hard as a brick.

 

lol exactly you have to slam your hand against a wall to break the ****.

its like a freakin cast.

it takes a hammer or a mini chain saw to break the ****.

 

It was a hardened piece of gauze. Didn't do **** since there was a glove over it. It's like asking how much of an advantage does it give you to have knuckles under your wraps.

Also, the Resto incident was different, because they used hardened wraps ALONG WITH removing padding from the gloves. That's a whole different story.

 

You can sometimes feel peoples knuckles hit you through the glove. With a stone in them you're going to feel that **** too.

 

The whole 'plaster-of-paris' and 'cement block' thing is a complete over-reaction by the haters.

What was found was a used insert that contained traces of elements that can also be found in hand moisturiser, as well as plaster-of-paris.

It was not a solid block of plaster-of-paris, it was an old gauze insert that had stiffened with the sweat gathered from previous use. Anyone who has ever used those canvas all-in-one handwraps in training will know that such stiffening occurs when sweaty wraps dry out, and disappears once you fold them or wrap your hands in them again.

The commission's findings were ambiguous and you'll find that nowhere in the wording of their statement does a detailed description of what they found appear. They didn't know what the hell it was, they couldn't conclusively say what it was after testing, so they were only able to suspend him for using illegal handwraps - illegal in the literal sense, because they didn't comply 100% with the state's rules, NOT because they contained a solid brick of plaster-of-paris.

That's all folks - live with it, like Mosley does, Margo does, Pacman does, etc.

 

what happened prior to the margo/mosley fight is exactly what should have happened prior to the collins/resto fight. naz was right there on top of everything along with the officials. the fact that the officials left the locker room when resto's gloves were off and then came back in when they were on is a complete travesty

 

if loaded with plaster paris look at the risk involved here, prison time for murder, but also look at other factors.
it will not only help with the impact of the shots landed on the other fighter, but a guy like Margarito who loads up on nearly every single shot and throws with that kind of leverage is sooner or later going to seriously hurt his hands if not break it.
especially when you hit someone to the head, in which its basicly bone or even on someones elbow with an upper cut.
I really think if he was using this **** at all ever in his career we would have known about this a while ago, your not going to argue that the commissions just allowed him to go in every single time with out inspecting the wraps, and with that said he would have likely created a injury to his own ****ing hands because they are over the knuckles and if inserted in the middle there isnt much padding to protect those knuckles....
