They gotta protect their money makers.

They use the same bandages and boxing tape as they do duruing fights. Not all pro's do this though, as not all have so much in funds! It will cost you around €10 a day in material, and you probably need someone else to help you too. My uncles company sponsorship pays for the materials (and other training stuff) and I got a Joey who carries my bag and has a first aid certificate, so he wraps my hands lol. If you can't box it off like I did then I have seen bigger pro's with large hands use two sets of wraps as well. They put the Mexican wraps underneath and standard ones on top. Sometimes they wear knuckle guards (or a sponge) too.

Guaze and tape wraps provide more protection for the hands/wrists than regular handwraps.

Unfortunately all that guaze and tape is expensive and it takes alot longer to have your hands wrapped so it's really only realistic for high level pros to get their hands wrapped with guaze and tape before every workout.

You don't need to do it for every workout though. Just the big sparring sessions coming up to a fight. If you know anyonw who works in a hospital, they can probably get you a whole lod of it at a dsiscount price. i'm not just talking about cheifing, they can order it in bulk for quite a low price.

Is it wiser to use two sets of handwarps ?

If you are new to boxing the best thing you can do for your hands is strengthen them with basic exercises and learn proper technique so you punches land cleanly and you aren't snapping your wrists.

Yes, but make sure at least one of them are of the mexican stretchy variety. Sometimes if a bone is broken/fractured or weak from before, the solid wraps can push it in and make it more painful. mexican wraps mould to shape of hand alot better. I use two sets of mexican wraps when I do not use gauze/tape and it makes a huge difference. Keeping Gauzxe handy for big sparring contests is wise, as well as using the tape around the wrist area even when you do not use gauze.

I have pretty damn big hands and i have been using 2 pairs of 180 inches wraps forever. Protects my hand just fine. One pair doesn't feel like quite enough.

I have to agree with two pairs of wraps. I have had a few hand surgeries in the past and my hands feel so much more protected. I go two pairs of Mexican wraps.
