@thehotboywalking Wrapping the thumb is not necessary. We have some fighters who do, and some who don't. The purpose of a good hand wrap is to protect the knuckles, bind the hand together (so as to absorb and diffuse impact more universally), and support the wrist. Wrapping the thumb adds some extra support to the thumb joint in case you jam it when throwing a punch (which is bad form anyway). So ultimately it's your call.

@llamaman62 Unfortunately, with the 108" wraps, you use up a good amount of the wrap with just the padding for the knuckles that you don't have enough wrap to do the rest of your hand. 180" would be more adequate for this style of wrap

@daddis just wondering can you do this with a 108 hand wrap?

What is your opinion on Everlast's Evergel gloves? They are suppose to replace hand-wraps. I am training (boxing) with them and I do feel they protect the knuckles and are easy to use. What do you think?

@AntonioCS The everlast Evergel gloves do a fairly decent job of protecting the knuckles, although it may be lacking in the wrist area. An option you do have if you want extra knuckle protection is to use gel knuckle guards in conjunction with the handwraps (Everlast makes some). This way you can wrap your wrists as well!
