Hand wrapping for boxing is an art in itself especially at the professional level with tape & gauze, it takes practice and skill to perfect the perfect handwrap.
Hands should always be wrapped for a boxing session, due to the repeated impact on the bones, tissues, tendons, joints and ligaments in the hands, wrists and forearms with every punch, its important to protect and align them by wrapping well before every training session.
A perfect wrap should feel snug and tight without applying too much pressure to where it compromises the blood flow to the hands and fingers, while the wrap should never be loose or creased to where it slides with inadequate compression / support.
