A saddoboxing member gives his thought on numbing your hands for a fight.
The guy also used to box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB1aBWsCNlQ
BTW, this guy isn't any nuthugger of any fighter, check his vids.
Who is this guy to discriminate against every person who has asthma and still wants to box?, i have asthma and i didnt appreciate the inhaler gesture you was making, first of all i believe even children understand that in having asthma one has difficulty in breathing more so than the ordinary person who has perfectly healthy lungs such as yourself, right so in fact that person would have a disadvantage to the fighter without asthma in oxygen intake, so he takes his inhaler to open his airways back up to the norm? how is this cheating how is this an advantage? the only way this could be an advantage is if a fighter without asthma was using an inhaler and if they were i doubt it would really give them any advantage because their airways are already open and dont need drugs to do it for them. just a case of another internet guru talking about things he knows nothing about.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Also the point has been brought up that fighters can overlook injury with increased pain threshold so this may work out as a disadvantage as well.

my thoughts are that this is a very weak attempt to make a certain fighter seem like a cheater, when a certain poster's favorite fighter is the one under the microscope for cheating by using an illegal substance
Pain is a signal telling your brain that something is being damaged... so in the long run the only person who is going to suffer serious damage is yourself if you punch on damaged hands.
Using a loaded wrap or taking a substance that improves your performance levels above what you are naturally capable of etc puts the other figher at risk of serious injury.
Most rules are in place to protect the other fighter... some are there to protect YOU.
I didnt have a problem with the no drugs in the ring point he was trying to prove,i had a problem with the hand gesture he made, it seemd disrespectful to people with inhalers, just like i wouldnt make a pie eating gesture towards him as it might be considered rude, im always careful not to discriminate against people.. oops
On the rules and restrictions side of the argument, logic dictates that if it is within the law to use it, then by no means should there be a problem for its use.
On the physical side of it is that, there seem to be more harm in its usage than any undue advantage it will ever provide. It will not set the hands for heavier hitting like a plastergate will, and it can never add any power to the punches.
It does add a sense of false security in striking for volume tho, but to which end can eventually, in the future, move the drug user to a state of incapacity.
More cons than pros, in my view.
