It appears UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor’s gloves were laced wrong when he fought Floyd “Money” Mayweather on Saturday night.
According to former boxing champion Andy Lee, McGregor gloves were laced wrong and it cost the UFC champion some of his power. Lee talked about McGregor’s gloves during a recent interview.
“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.
“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.”
