''Hand wraps made of gauze and tape are frequently worn under boxing gloves for competition. This wrap primarily supports the wrist and knuckles, but each athlete has his or her preference.''
A hand wrap is a strip of cloth used by boxers (and participants in other combat sports) to protect the hand and wrist against injuries induced by punching. It is wrapped securely around the wrist, the palm, and the base of the thumb, where it serves to both maintain the alignment of the joints, and to compress and lend strength to the soft tissues of the hand during the impact of a punch.
A hand wrap protects against several common types of injuries that are familiar to most boxers. For instance, it supports the wrist joint, keeping it aligned when the impact of a punch is absorbed by the wrong part of the hand. It also secures the base of the thumb to the hand, thereby reducing the chance of a sprain or fracture that can result from the thumb striking an opponent's elbow. Most importantly, it significantly strengthens the metacarpus, reducing the likelihood of a fracture of one of the metacarpal bones. Such a fracture is often called the "boxer's fracture" -- which is usually a fracture in the neck of the fifth metacarpal -- because of its ubiquity among fighters.
Hand and wrist wraps are used to compress (and keep compressed when hitting) the bones and tissues in the hand. The claim is that such compression allows boxers to hit with greater force than if they did not use them. Boxers claim they feel less pain when hitting so their opponent may feel more pain.
Each sportsman, cornerman or cutman has a preferred wrapping method based on the situation and experience. Variations can produce more wrist support, thumb support, padding for the knuckles or less fabric within the fist. Sometimes a single wrap between fingers over the finger-web help stabilize the wrap and keep it from "riding up" within a looser-fitting glove. Competition rules may restrict the type and amount of material used, giving each fighter a limited amount of gauze and tape which may be divided and rolled in various ways for a particular fighter or match.
Training wraps are usually re-usable cloth and may be secured with a small tie-tab or with velcro. Conventional handwraps are non-elastic. Mexican-style handwraps are slightly elasticized and are popular with many boxers. The length of wraps will vary depending on rules, personal preference, hand size and the type of glove to be worn, with shorter wraps common for fingerless "grappling gloves" used in mixed martial arts.
A new alternative to handwraps are foam or gel-lined fingerless gloves worn inside any boxing glove; these can be used to reduce and prevent harm to the hands and head for bag work, sparring or competition depending on the rules of the governing organisation. They take much less time and hassle than gauze, although they are generally seen as not being as effective.
u guys ever been to pro fights? this shit happens the hole time even i when i used to compite, my knuckles used to get scraped up and bleed a lil bit...
that the margarito picture didn't mean jackshit
why cuz chico got caught with elements of plaster in his wraps in the very next fight???? you morons do know that the reason why margs is suspected of cheating aginst cotto among others is because he was caught attempting to use illegeal wraps in his last fight not because of a picture of bloody wraps :chairshot
Yeah I saw this pic a long time ago and could never find it on the net so good job. This doesn't mean that Tony didn't have somthing on his gloves against Mosely becasue he did but maybe all of you can learn a lesson that red discoloring on wraps can happen on any set of fighters hands and isn't valid proof of anything.
Actually it does, but I guess if you want to go ahead and use two different quality of pictures go ahead, but it would make your opinion pretty much moot. Keep hating buddy.
I was a Marg fan, so your comment failed just like your analysis. Like I said, if you use a new gauze and tape, it will not look as old and dingy as the ones Marg had after the Cotto fight. They will look like the ones that Corrales had. Obviously you did not or did not want to look at the pics.

ah snap S0n! GOOD shit indeed. im a believer. all jokes aside. :boxing::boxing:
and much love to my boy CHICO> long live the warrior R.I>P.....
Pacquiao did it based on talent, skill and athletecism. Pacquiao > Margarito.
Isn't it pathetic that Margo had to cheat to win and he is the bigger man when Pacquiao who is smaller didn't?
AND his win was more decisive too.
lmao @ all the Mexican stan cry babies trying to justify a cheater.. truly pathetic.
If you support Margo you are a disgrace to your great country and to the sport of boxing.
Listen nobody supports Margarito, the thing is you sound just as much of a cry baby by saying you are 100% sure you know Marg cheated.
This debate is so old most of you mother fukers don't have a clue as to what you are talking about.
My hands bled all the time, I have brittle hands having broke my right hand twice. Your hands bleed, it's a common thing and I never understood the blood stain bullshit.
Let this shit die already.
Hey retard, nice way to waste your time. The thing is that the inserts that plasterito was wearing had blood on the same place as the stain on his wraps.
wait... what?
Did you screen grab it, or did you find it somewhere online? That's what I was trying to figure out...
yeah man, i was watching Castillo vs Corrales again but in HD.
Yeah, possibly not, seeing as a blood stain can be picked up after the fight and after the gloves are removed. All it takes is a drop of blood from anywhere to get on there and boom, there's your stained wrap. If it was there before the fight... who knows.
It's a mystery.
probably, ah well
Worst analysis ever. First the quality and lighting is different in each picture, and if you're going to base your conclusion off of how it looks then you are dumb.
The point of this thread is to show that there is blood on the wraps on another fighters and on almost the identical spot.
this, dear lord someone got it right
that the margarito picture didn't mean jackshit
Hey retard, nice way to waste your time. The thing is that the inserts that plasterito was wearing had blood on the same place as the stain on his wraps.
you would use the skin above your fingers or you top of the hand, but yeah margarito didn't look like no frank sinatra after the war with cotto so why wouldn't he wipe that blood off his face?
I never claimed that Margacheato cheated in the Cotto fight based on bloody hand wraps. All i am saying is the position of the red stained substance on Chicos wraps is far from the knuckle area. I am saying that Margarcheato cheated based on the fact they found those plaster inserts in his wraps the fight against Mosely. Never mind the bloody stains on his knuckles and the fact that they actually found plaster in his gloves.....Lefty
If you read the second post of mine, it was from the Castillo fight.
Did you screen grab it, or did you find it somewhere online? That's what I was trying to figure out...
i scrap my knuckles when i spar in my gym... even compition... and thats only 4 a short amount of time... imagine people margo or chico... u goin at it for 12 rounds... its obvious it will bleed..
Alright i'ma shut down the whole bloodstain issue. In my bout I was bleeding through y nose and wiped my nose with my hand wrap after the bout with the same sides Corrales and Margarito had it on. This is prolly why they have blood stains on that specific side of the handwrap they were bleeding through their nose definitely so theres a possibility they wiped their nose with that side. Your blood starts to dry up in your nose after the bout and gets bothersome. Think of it like having mucus in your nose and uncomfortable so your first instinct is to wipe it..Gotta remember they don't give you a tissue to clean it up unless your corner man uses a towel/cotton swab. If that doesn't help than i don't know what will.
Margarito was caught trying to use it against Mosley. One can only assume he would use it for the biggest fight of his career, But maybe he didn't. Time will tell when he makes his comeback and face some of the top welters I think he should rematch Mosley then Cotto or vice versa. I'm actually interested in seeing his return.

I can't believe anyone defends that useless piece of garbage.
