Does Wearing Handwraps Under Your Gloves Give You Increased Power?

[AintGottaClue]

There is a techique used by trainers called lacing the gloves. They dont remove any padding but by using the laces once the glove is on the fighters hand they are able to displace the padding or horse hair in the front part of the fist where the blows land. This may have been why it was claimed that Titos hands were illegaly wrapped. The displaced padding causes the blow to land with a horrific impact, just about being able to feel the wrapped fist directly behind the leather of the glove..........Rockin'

[jujuman]

did you see the joppy - tito fight? Tito was catching him wiht the sweetest, cleanest, full force left hook right cross combos ive seen. Wrapping or not, that would eventualy knock anybody out. as for hopkins, delahoya hit hopkins in nine rounds more tha felix did in tweleve

So thats true? i heard this as a rumor but thought that this is like the easiest way to brake your knuckles.

you should always wear handwraps. The wrist area on my right hand stays hurt from time I didn't wrap it around a year ago. I gotta wrap it tight just to do pushups now without it bothering me.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Yeah, I know a kid like that who can no longer do push-ups. The only push ups he can do are the fist ones, but he didn't mess up his wrist not using handwraps....
