Eubanks hand wraps?

Not sure if I'm imagining it but I'm sure I saw and interview before where Eubanks Snr said that Eubanks doesn't appear to be a massively puncher because he wraps his hand a lot more than most boxers providing more
Padding sounds like bollocks to me but watching the post fight presser did anyone think eubank jnr had a lot of padding around the knuckle or am I just imagining it?

Why was he still wearing the wraps? It looked daft

He's puts more padding in due to extension injury (might be old elbow injury) but it's due to that.

He probably does wrap his hands more than most, but it's not like he ever had power anyway.

It was nearly his bedtime, so no need to take the wraps off as daddy is going to put his gloves back on before beddie byes

If done properly , they will still be like plaster of paris , with or without a bit of extra tape

He fights like he can punch but obviously is never gonna be a one punch KO artist. He does look like he carries a bit of spite though.

What are the rules on wraps?
You cant just wrap your hands however you feel like - there are rules in terms of total length of tape/type of type etc.

A few years ago the ABAE changed their rules that only allowed a specific Adidas wrap! (not sure if they changed again?)

Spite?
In the Abraham fight it looked like 'roid rage to me.
I so badly want someone to wipe that self absorbed smirk off his face.
I never had any issues with him until lately.
Now I can't stand him.
Guess that is one way of getting PPV's.
It certainly wasn't going to be his personality

I'm not a fan myself. He's a tit. I never bothered with the PPV. I just wrote down the fights I was interested in and watched em the next day online.
I just meant he's a spiteful, hurtful puncher the way he throws the shots but he certainly doesn't carry concussive power like Abraham did many a moon ago.
