They gotta protect their money makers.

They use the same bandages and boxing tape as they do duruing fights. Not all pro's do this though, as not all have so much in funds! It will cost you around €10 a day in material, and you probably need someone else to help you too. My uncles company sponsorship pays for the materials (and other training stuff) and I got a Joey who carries my bag and has a first aid certificate, so he wraps my hands lol. If you can't box it off like I did then I have seen bigger pro's with large hands use two sets of wraps as well. They put the Mexican wraps underneath and standard ones on top. Sometimes they wear knuckle guards (or a sponge) too.

Guaze and tape wraps provide more protection for the hands/wrists than regular handwraps.

Unfortunately all that guaze and tape is expensive and it takes alot longer to have your hands wrapped so it's really only realistic for high level pros to get their hands wrapped with guaze and tape before every workout.

You don't need to do it for every workout though. Just the big sparring sessions coming up to a fight. If you know anyonw who works in a hospital, they can probably get you a whole lod of it at a dsiscount price. i'm not just talking about cheifing, they can order it in bulk for quite a low price.

Is it wiser to use two sets of handwarps ?

If you are new to boxing the best thing you can do for your hands is strengthen them with basic exercises and learn proper technique so you punches land cleanly and you aren't snapping your wrists.

Yes, but make sure at least one of them are of the mexican stretchy variety. Sometimes if a bone is broken/fractured or weak from before, the solid wraps can push it in and make it more painful. mexican wraps mould to shape of hand alot better. I use two sets of mexican wraps when I do not use gauze/tape and it makes a huge difference. Keeping Gauzxe handy for big sparring contests is wise, as well as using the tape around the wrist area even when you do not use gauze.

I have pretty damn big hands and i have been using 2 pairs of 180 inches wraps forever. Protects my hand just fine. One pair doesn't feel like quite enough.

I have to agree with two pairs of wraps. I have had a few hand surgeries in the past and my hands feel so much more protected. I go two pairs of Mexican wraps.

Great advice guys,thank you.

Once again EquilibriBUm is repeating my tips to feign intelligence and superior knowledge. Pathetic! Use your own brain cunty..

Hmm, i don't bother reading your posts even less in the training section. Cause i don't want training tips from people who just prentend to be fighters. 1000 fist push ups riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

I have been saying that i use 2 pairs of wraps forever. I certaintly didn't get the idea from you.

Just look at everybody making fun of you on these boards, you're a joke man.

My first amateur fight my trainer wrapped my hands in gauze and tape. Normally I wrap my hands myself and use the traditional everlast stretch wraps. I will say the gauze and tape felt a hell of a lot better.

IS that why they ask for more expert advice and giving green K for it? Lol, you are proving yourself to be a bum if you think 1000 press ups on the knuckles is too much for someone serious about boxing. You are gay and the workouts from Brian Todd's book will prove you wrong:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Workouts-Boxings-Greatest-Champs-Muhammad/dp/1569754438

No sorry, a bum like Gatti is not included! That shows how much you know about boxing, lol. Idolising fighters who are blocking shots with the head and chin! It is quite obvious press ups will improve the fitness and workrate of muscles used in punching, but I suppose you are right (according to the guidebook of bums) and all them top pro's are wrong!

The funny thing is that even when you are almost right snd copy me, you still manage to get it slightly wrong! When using 2 sets of wraps, at least one of them must be the mexican type wraps. Otherwise they will be too rigid and not mould to hand shape. Sometimes they can cause more pain and problems ****licker, by pushing on injured joints. So stop being a tramp and buy some stretchy mexican wraps!

Geek, that is about points not gk. You are the one who made screenprints of karma table! Pure NERD, we didn't even have Internet in my ghetto school, never mind learning how to do screenshots! We did however learn the proper use of paragraphs. Generation chav are all illiterate imbecile's like you!

You said word for word:


"The most important thing for a boxer is to do 1000 knuckle push ups a day."

:rofl:it seems to me you only make an issue of it BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVEN DO HALF THAT AMOUNT ON A DAILY BASIS, FATSO!!!! I may have said that to emphasise how important it is. I remember sdaying you need to do 5-7 miles per day as well on top of ther boxing stuff. That is how you push yourself and avoid bneing an overweight bum like you. As a Canadian pie eater, I know for a fact that you weigh more than 200lbs and have abodyfat in excess of obesity safe levels of 25%. if anyone wants ot be a bum repeating same easy routines like you, then go for it! Put if you want to know what it means to be truly fit, then do 1000 press ups and 5-7 miles per day like most pro's and top am's too!

Just answer my question; how many can you do and be HONEST do you really get past 10 without huffing and puffing like the fat blob that you are? Stop lying to yourself about your own ability (or lack thereof) and stop trying to hold back people that do want to succeed with your limiting beliefs. I feel sorry for ya son, I really do.

Of course i weight more than 200 pounds you dumb ****. I'm 6'4 234 pounds with 12% bodyfat. I actually spend time training in boxing instead of spending an hour doing 1000 imaginary fist press ups.

You aren't fooling anybody, you spend your days posting on these forums with your 2 accounts. You don't have a job and you even have less time to train. Between JulioCesaChavez and your ironmike account you have 3000 posts in less than 2 months.

I'm leaving for the gym soon, by the time i come back you'll have 50 more posts and i'll have worked out for 2-3 hours. ****ing poser. Look at yourself before you call other people fat, i could use your double chin as a speedbag.

Since I started training for the pro's I haven't even had time to come on here everyday. From next week I will have even less time. Meanwhile gay Equilibrium is here every second to make sure he gets to reply to every post! How sad, the fatso just admitted to logging off for only 2-3 hours. He has no handspeed like mine which is why he taks longer making posts. Next week i will have even less time and may not even post here everyday, but fatso will be here as this is the only place where his career exists!

Hmmmm, WRONG! I am not ironmike as he posts at the same time and Oasis_Lad confirms IP's are different. Is that all you got? It would have been offensive if you compared me to a gay Canuck though.

You double chin comments are falling on deaf ears too because it is simply not true. i think you are jealous now that i proved I am a real fighter and athlete with my film star looks fighter of the night trophy pic! you are jealous as a fat sod who has NO trophies, your pic will never fit on the screen and more importantly you are jealous because even if you saved up enough of your allowance (give to you by ya mum), you have obese dimensions that will burst out of that size M boss jacket and 30'' Armani's. I bet ya waist size is more like 40''! Mine is 32'' even now, after I have 'filled out'. You would get sparked out you slow fat Canadian bum. Why avoid the question I gave you before? Because you can't do that many press ups fat boy and can't throw that many venomous punches as a result! No wonder you always mention that because it makes you feel insecure about your fitness (or should I say fatness?) and lack of speed ya fat cunt!

You always repeat the same bull****. When did you prove you were a fighter? You just pretend you are, you mentioned you went to the olympics. You also said you had a great amateur career. Yet nobody in the world knows who the **** you are.

The only place you are somebody is on this forum with the thousands of posts you have made between all of your accounts. And the only place you are a fighting is in your imagination.

Talk about sparking me you keyboard warrior. Be glad you live on the other side of the globe, the canuck would make you go timber you little *****.
