TO your point, boxers wear gloves to protect their hands.

But ...

grabbing a victim’s head will not make marks on your hands.

Also, it takes a hard punch on human tissue to break the skin on the knuckles. Even abrasions take a hard punch or numerous punches. Punches could have been deflected.

to wit, as an angry teen, I punched thru a (drywall) wall, both sides, in one punch, and did not break the skin on my knuckles.

IMPOSSIBLE (your word) is not necessarily a valid conclusion. Just sayin’

Boxers wear gloves not to protect their hands but to padd the blow to the others head.......

Well, that is a good point well put.

That's nothing. As an angry infant, I once punched through a M1A2 Abrams Tank.

Both sides.
