    Neither do I for that matter
    How do you feel about the handwrap situation ?
    If Inoue is getting away with it , it is horrible news even more than the commissions who allow it imo

        They ain’t the first ones to accuse him of this
        So where there is smoke there is fire
        The fact they wanna throw the fight means this is significant
        Wilder biatched about bullchit afterwards , not quite the same thing

          From what I can gather there is nothing wrong if it's legitimately allowed, if it breaks the rules then he cant do it but if its ok best Fulton wrap his hands the same way, boxing has too many Chiefs and not enough Indians they need one body ruling all of professional boxing and one set of rules.

            Imo , anytime you have tape wrapping your hands , you are creating a cast like
            That is illegal and a shame it is being allowed

              Fulton looks at ease and the Monster is going to have a tough fight and be that as it may, 0 must disappear on Tuesday

                Fulton has a huge neck and head - he is not getting KO'd - I'd be amazed if he is. Cliff Rold did an interesting historical perspective on bantamweights moving up to 122. A few old champions were quoted and a couple said "it's difficult move up 'cos you have junior lightweights squeezing down to fight at 122" - I'd say Fulton fits that picture - we already know he'd be at 126 if it wasn't for this fight.

                  how ya doing mucka? missing you over at the pick-em - put in a guest appearance for this fight and next weekends

                  It shouldn't be allowed but it is, in the USA too - in Cali and Arizona, Florida - only states that don't allow it are Texas and Nevada - if I have that right

                  Don't forget it can be discretionary. It's there for another purpose as well - to protect the fighter's hands. But egregious use of it means it becomes another weapon. So the discretion comes in from the ref and the commission officials. They can allow so much - but no more?

                    Hello my caring mofo
                    Hope you doing A alright
                    From my knowledge , Nevada actually allows it
                    I was explained that no tape should be going on the hand itself before the gauze
                    Last night , the little Napoleon Bradley explained that it is called double stacking once this is done ( that was new for me )
                    What I do know though is by putting that tape underneath , meaning no gauze , that will make for like a cast
                    Even in a hospital they will put gauze directly on , where needed arm ,leg etc etc , before applying the cast

                      Inoue by early stoppage still. Moves like a cat against who? I bet he runs all night if he isnt taken early.
