Why the duct tape Joe?

Its used to help steady his wrists when he slaps people around.

its common for boxers to tape over their wraps if they have wrist injuries. i do it with my left hand very often. the only thing is, everyone that i have seen do it, does it with regular trainer's type, the white kind. i guess duct tape is just as good though....

I remember seeing Floyd's sparring partner wrap his hands with nothing but duct tape on 24/7.

Maybe he's just being extra careful? I don't know, really, what it would help, but then I'm not an expert. If his hands are brittle, I can't blame him for using anything he can. From personal experience, broken hands suck; every time I've hit someone in the face with alot of power, I break their face, and either my wrist, my knuckles, or a finger. I'm not a fragile guy, but I can pack a bit of a wallop.....it's enough to make me not want to hit someone anymore unless they really need it. If I were in his position, I'd be extremely careful. After all, his hands are his livlihood.
