TonyGE is a PAC fanatic so he’s getting a taste of his medicine and theory. A lot of these guys don’t know the sport because they don’t box themselves and have not dealt with hand injuries personally. ANY GUY who boxes on the regular always hopes and finds a way to wrap his hands the best way he can so he can leave the gym with no injury... why?!?! Because we love to hit the bag onto the next the day! A hand injury can linger in various lengths, and many times we hide minor injuries knowing that if you don’t let something heal you do more damage than good. That’s the nature and culture of boxing.
As Duran (Stitch) says, rewrapping hands is just to get into a fighters’ head so that they don’t feel comfortable throwing their best shots knowing that if they have a lingering injury, there’s risk in the real fight. That’s all it is.
The problem with boxing is that “cheating” and “advantage” has become synonymous without proper context.
Jamie Moore felt so salty that he agreed to not even use tape their way when Team Canelo flexed their locker room. Moore didn’t even know how to defend Fielding’s hand safety to say this:
“They were wrapping the tape numerous times round the wrist and hand. It’s stacking, you’re not allowed to do it. We raised it as an issue, the [New York State Athletic] Commission agreed, said, ‘No, you’re right, you can’t do it.’ I sent Nige in and Nige got there, they’d already done it. So made them take it off, said you’re not allowed to do that.
“The commission agreed to take it off and then they done it again. No, take it off again. So they started going crazy. Sent five people into my room saying take the tape off his hand, I said no problem, I don’t want tape on.
“We knew we were going to walk into those sort of situations when we were coming here so we weren’t surprised.”
Lol. It’s no wonder Canelo threw rocket launchers to really hurt Fielding. Canelo didn’t even smile or acknowledge Fielding when they hugged when the fight ended. Canelo was still pissed over wraps. Fielding knew his team went in betch mode and he even cried on IFLTV. He felt ashamed that he was rocked while his team cried about nothing.
