Skinnining your gloves.Any advantage?

Try hitting the heavy bag and notice the changes when your hand is deeper into the glove. You get a better grip and your punches are harder with more impact. Alright cool man cheers for that

Dont think so its pretty obvious to see and yet i seen Pac and Cotto do it in big fights hmmmm :smashfrea

is this legal to do? Dont think so its pretty obvious to see and yet i seen Pac and Cotto do it in big fights

I assume they wouldn't do it if there weren't any advantages. Pulling that padding real tight and as close as possible to the wraps sounds like it could be advantageous to me. With Reyes even more so Cause I'm pretty sure that they dont use foam type padding and the padding can really shift etc. Ya i know but i taught i saw somewhere the commissions are against yet i see Pac and Cotto doing it and few more fighters.Surely something as noticeable as that should be cut out by the commissions if it gives a fighter a punching advantage

What does "skinnining" ones gloves mean?? Meant to say skinning but as GB said

What does "skinnining" ones gloves mean?? I think he means when fighters try to displace the padding around the knuckle area, like tyson used to do.

Any of our pro or amateur know if this gives an advantage?and if so how much?Just curious as ive seen a few fighters doing it. What does "skinnining" ones gloves mean??
