yeah sort of.
back in the day when I was occasionally fortunate to have a pro do the wrap on my hands, I was amazed at the difference.
It would concentrate the bones, support them, make them all hard as concrete. All the way from the wrist.
THAT would allow me to hit with full force. not the gloves.
With a perfect wrap, thin gloves protected him less.
With a crappy wrap, thick gloves would allow me to hit harder.
Course i only had two weights of gloves anyway ......
12 oz. (Amateur) and 10 oz. (pro) heavyweight.
Never even thought of going pro.
