Manny's "Improved right hook" is a result of Handwrap STACKING?

[DE100]

"Fighters are notoriously finicky about the wrapping. Some refuse to let anyone other than their designated wrapper near their hands. Others, like Amir Khan, prefer a layer of tape before the first layer of gauze. Pacquiao wraps his own hands, as tightly as humanly possible, so tight he sometimes breaks the gauze.

Rules vary from state to state. In California, only gauze and surgical adhesive tape are allowed. In Nevada, trainers can apply only gauze, not tape, to skin. But some keys are universal, Roach said, like spreading the gauze evenly across the fingers, or protecting the knuckles with the right amount of padding."

I don't know what this whole "stacking" thing is, but according to the above article, the rules for wrapping hands vary depnding on which state you fight in. I mean floyd has used xylocaine, which is illegal in most states except nevada. so unless pac loaded his gloves with cement and/or took out the padding then of course there would be a big uproar because that **** is illegal period. I think this is just pac haters finding more reasons to discredit pac.

When in doubt bring up Mayweather.

Its Tested For and is Banned In Nevada (Within the week of and in the fight)

De La Hoya was given a shot of Lidocaine the day of the injury to numb the cut area so the stitches could be taken. Lidocaine is a substance banned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. But Marc Ratner, CEO of the commission, said there is no violation as long as De La Hoya informed the commission when he took it and why.

Kizer confirmed yesterday that lidocaine is banned for use by boxers within a week of a bout. “If lidocaine is injected,” he said, “the pain receptors in the boxer may not work and he may not know if he is hurt.” He also confirmed that lidocaine would be tested for after the bout, at the Quest Diagnostics laboratory in the city.

Tested as far back as 1989
Nevada boxing officials said yesterday they would fine and probably suspend Lloyd Honeyghan. They said the British fighter tested positive for the painkilling drug lidocaine after losing his World Boxing Council welterweight title to Marlon Starling on Feb. 4.

Michael Marley - True that: Floyd Mayweather is cleaner than Board Of Health

As Kizer explained it, fighters must, under penalty of perjury, sign a statement at the fight weigh ins discloosing what, if any, pain or other serious medication they have used or plan to use anytime between the weigh in and fight time.

“Mayweather has never disclosed any such information so, as far as we are concerned, this is not any kind of issue. I know the ardent Pacquiao fans talk a lot about but to us it's the same as the speculation about Pacquiao using any sort of drugs which comes from the Mayweather fans out there. Both of them have always tested clean in Nevada.”

Kizer said he could name other boxers who have asked permission to use aspirin, Lidocaine, cortisone and other “pain the****utic” medications.

edit: secondly, it's hard to believe that someone of pacquiao's status would tamper with their gloves on that big a stage..

look at the pacquiao mosley pictures here on boxing scene, look at Mannys right hand in pic #5 and #6 notice the lump on mannys right glove towards the edge follow the knuckle line

Lol Freddie Roach Trainer of the Year?

[intoccabile]

Freddie really improved Pac's balance. Now he doesn't fall in when he punches and gives hem greater balance using the hook. Pac has a beautiful counter right hook when a conventional stance fighter jabs.

Dont think the wrapping has anything to do with it. He just have much more confidence throwing it

umm.. yes he still does. ANytime he missed marquez he had to turn around and get back in place. He was falling all over the place. Problem is he fights guys that either get hit or prefer to BLOCK instead of slip or make him miss.. so you can never tell.

That was the biggest fighter Manny has faced meaning his bones are also thicker and on shot in round four broke his eye socket give it up man he has been exposed

[jrosales13]

It baffles me, that so called boxing fans from the states have yet realized that rules vary from state to state...
