Richard M asked:


I know that you don’t wrap the thumb in MMA because you need it. But even for Muay Thai you wrap in between each finger, but in boxing its just around the hand and wrist, not between fingers. Why?
I just know how my Muay Thai trainer wraps them, between each finger. But I have been watching videos on Youtube and stuff and they are all just around the hand.

   Well I am quite sure that you are wrong and they do wrap in between the fingers in boxing.

   Good trainers wrap the knuckles, wrists, and between the fingers.

   For most important to suffer from repeated abuse.
   For most boxers who only use their hands its actually the most in between the fingers would venture to suffer from repeated abuse.
   For most important thing in between the three than you would venture to agree on one wrap in between the wrist.
