    Default Re: Hands

    I've had my hands wrapped and in gloves and after a workout the knuckles are swollen to the point that when I open and close my fist it sounded creaky like bits of leather being stretched out and contorted. I've also landed hooks wrong on the heavybag (from fatigue) and jammed my wrists, but hey it's an impact sport these things happen. Football, Baseball, & Basketball players get jammed fingers & wrists from catching the ball or landing awkwardly....you just have to fight through it.

    True but for boxers hurting their hands is far more serious. Just imagine how good Galzhaghe would have been if his hands were not so messed up.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If his hands weren't messed up there is also the possibility he may have fought differently and not been as successful as he was...

    Calzaghe gets alot of crap from people who didnt see him before the Lacy fight regarding his power but he has lots of genuine stoppage and ko wins in the amateurs where its rare to see kos and stoppages amongst the better fighter fighters!
