Been hardening my knuckles...

[Douglas]

pacs hands are like that, i even jokingly compared my fists to his.

Has he ever posted a picture of his hands? I didn't think mine were all that hard.

no i meant manny pacquiao, i spoke to him a couple of times back then when he had his fighting cocks farm setup a stone throw away from my house.

he had calouses up to the joint after the knuckles too.

Oh. What did he do to harden them up?

[mnmc10]

i really dont know but i guess its cause of the years and years and years of training, and probably poor handwrap technique.

but if you want to lessen the pain when punching expecially if you hit the hard parts of a face like chin,eyebrows and cheeks. you should always keep your fist clenched tightly as in real tight. never punch with a slightly opened fist itll hurt like hell!

Oh yes! I've found that out on the heavy bag.

What a bizarre thread

I don't see how you can harden your knuckles to prevent your hand from hurting. All your doing is hardening the skin, so it maybe won't sting as much.

But it's not stinging hands that hurt, its broken bones and this wont help that.

It's supposed to help gradually toughen up the bone too.

I thought about doing this many years ago but I knew it would be me who would contract the flesh eating bacteria from it.
