Not wrapping your hands for boxing can have several negative consequences. Hand wraps serve as a protective layer between your knuckles, bones, and the impact of punches.
Here's what can happen if you neglect to wrap your hands:
Increased risk of hand and wrist injuries: Wrapping your hands provides stability and support to the bones and ligaments in your hands and wrist, reducing the chance of any injuries.
Higher likelihood of cuts and abrasions: The wraps add an extra layer of padding that can help prevent skin abrasions and cuts when punching.
