Question
What is the correct way to wrap a fighters hands before a fight.
Brad, Each hand gets two rolls of guaze. The first roll you wrap just like a pair of hand wraps. Start at the thumb, then wrist, knuckles, thumb, back to knuckles and end at the wrist. Take the next roll and start the same way but you are going to run the guaze thru the fingers back to the wrist each pass, then pass over the wrist to hold it down... work your way back up to the knuckles and make several loops over just the top of the knuckles followed by several complete passes around the knuckles to hold it down, then finish up per the last wrap. 2 pieces of tape on the back of the hand to the wrist and then a complete piece around the wrist. No tape on the knuckles.
Sorry if its hard to follow but its not easy to explain without showing you. I hope this helps.

I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
