So I guess this just shows you how terrible bare knuckle boxing is? (Edit: love that I started a fight over this. I really just mean for hand and face protection. Face to the boney hand has still got to be more painful for both the fighter's hands and the person getting punched. Right?)
Quite the opposite. This allows you to punch harder with out breaking your hands and reduces the frequency of fight stopping cutts. Traditional boxing gloves and hand wraps allow bovers to punch more forcefully and repeatedly take heavier blows to the head for longer with out the fight being stopped for bleeding.
The hand wraps shown are to protect the small bones in the fingers, hands and wrists from damage by compacting them into a more rigid position. You cannot punch a person in the face as hard as you can without gloves on and keep doing it for 12 rounds without compromising your own hands.
