Pepe Sulaiman, asked about the differences which may exist towards hand wrapping for a fight and for training.

Mr. Benavidez replied that it is almost the same process; however, we should be extra careful during training, as that is where injuries may happen, explaining that  he preffers to add extra padding during these sessions.

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman joined the conversation and asked the Benavidez family about the controversies in allowing or not the usage of tape directly to the skin
Mr. Benavidez replied that for him is not a big deal.For them, they don’t find  any benefit of applying tape directly to the skin.

Mauricio Sulaiman, told all the panelists that he was told that the usage of tape directly to the skin allows to have a more firm hand wrapping.

Mr. Jaime Lera, told everyone that when a KO happens what we must first relieve the body of all kinds of pressures, so having tape direct to the skin wont help when a KO happens as it will be harder to unwrap.

In conclusion, Jose Benavidez Sr  explained that things  happen for a reason. The most important factor is to keep safe. Safety  is first.

David added they were very excited to fight in Arizona. But would be terrible if a fan of his got infected during his fight. Safety is first and  I totally agreed in postponing the fights  and events.

Dr. Ricardo Monreal explained about the different injuries, explaining the importance of the hands health for a boxer. He said that 40% injuries can be prevented as the economical aspects and time of recovery, are very important matters to the boxers careers.He urged everyone to always take care of their working tools.

Supporting Ricardo´s Monreal prevention method, Mr. Lera added that prevention is basic. Hands are the most important tools for boxers. So we should take care of the hands from day one, starting with little kids. And he offered a demonstration on how to wrap our hands.

Pepe Sulaiman concluded the chat with a message, pointing out that this time has showed us we all one and  claiming that it is up to us. We are responsible of transforming the reality into a better world. He urged everyone to be active and proactive to make this change happen.

Victor Silva thanked the participation of all panelist and invited all the boxing fans and not  to not miss tomorrow’s  WBC Chat about Referees.
