you're asking for trouble. it will hyperextend joints.

for punching power, do plyometric training. also, you can simply wear weighted gloves, like 16ox'ers, or they even have bag gloves with built in weights. but you still can't beat anything plyometric in nature. explosivfe lifts and med ball work is tops.
