try wrapping your hands
Perhaps so, but gloves alone are not enough. I genuinely hurt my hands sometimes. Nothing broken or bad enough to stop me altering the punches, but enough to not punch in the same spot too often. I get the gloves off and for a couple of days have sore knuckles and those are my guitar playing days and it's hard to play when you are sore.
Stop punching like a bitch.

Dare you to post a video challenging Charlie Z to a fight.
My technique is okay, I had 4 rounds today and was fine. Still sore, but fine. My punches are straight and I am careful. I think it was because I have thin hands and wrists and they simply couldn't take the assault so early.
