An Irish boxing star claimed that Conor McGregor didn’t have his boxing gloves laced up in his recent match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Andy Lee, 33, who held the WBO middleweight title, said that there was a “lack of experience in his corner,” noting an issue with his gloves.
“They tied up the laces and brought them back to the wrist, to support the wrist. What it actually does is make the glove tighter, so when [a punch] lands, it has more bite,” he said, according to Newstalk. “You loop [the laces] at the wrist and tie it around the wrist. That’s just Boxing 101. You learn that the first day in the gym.”
“They had the gloves tied down at the forearm, which leaves the gloves loose, and doesn’t give you the support,” he said.
