Comments Thread For: Inoue Addresses Hand Wrap Concerns, Advises Team Fulton To 'Just Fight'

[trippleupper]

Fight fire with fire
Fulton should have his hands wrapped the same way as Inoue
Although I do believe that putting tape on the bare skin first is like creating a cast
An eye for an eye Stephen

The issue is not so much tape on bare skin as layer after layer of gauze, tape, gauze, tape, gauze, tape, gauze, tape... that's stacking.

Which Is completely legal in plenty of places, Japan being one of them...


Fulton complaining about nothimg.

Don't wanna fight under the rules in Japan? Don't sign to fight there or do your homework before signing.

Now he's acting like a little girl

Whilst some might argue stacking offers greater protection to fighters hands, the effects of brain damage should be a greater concern.
However, as you say, Fulton should just stack his wraps and give it back to Inoue.

He's wearing Winning gloves.

Legal in Vegas too, which is where he fought Figueroa. Where would he have liked to have a fight of this magnitude? South Dakota?

Inoue my favorite but I love boxing more and that comment doesn’t sit well with me.

Double stacking is illegal but stacking is legal in some countries and states in USA. Inoue been double stacking, it’s affects punches makes them 5x harder and no doubt of injury from punching. Most fighter who double stack had early hand issues.
Comparable to playing baseball with wooden bat vs metal bat.

Yes I understand what stacking is
I was explained that the fact of the tape being applied directly to the hand is a non no and that causes it to become like a cast
That is the difference in the commissions , some allow it and most don’t
When you get a cast put on the first thing they do is wrap your arm with gauze
Then again , I was told that the gauze will suck up some of the sweat keeping it moist instead with tape being applied first , it will harden
Is it right , i don’t know 100% but it does make some sense in my head

In Japan Winning gloves are stuffed with bamboo stick and are considered a punchers glove. They're not like the winning gloves that fighters here in the states use who have brittle hands.

Bravo to team Fulton for bringing this issue to the table. Hopefully it's an eye opener for everyone who wants good for the sport.

That’s where it takes a bit of a left turn for me
Catch 22 thing lol

Because it's stacked for hand protection, not to be used as a weapon. If it was an actual issue, Fulton's camp would have brought it up in negotiations, not two days before the fight. Attempt to rattle Inoue's camp while having a built in excuse if necessary.
