Yeah broke his hand

He fought a world rated fighter only 4 months later.

I have proper broke my hand before and I couldnt punch the bags with my right for about 5 months, I tried doing it gently but it would just bring me back to square one, so I had to leave it all together until I couldnt feel any pain any more.

What are you on??? He actually faught ***in Tony Dodson a full 6 month after.

What is your Point??? Do you agree there are differing severity of hand injuries?? Did you get your hand fixed by a top surgeon at bupa or a ***in student on the NHS. There is a big difference.

A broken bone in the hand cannot be operated on, a tendon maybe but the bones are left to heel themselves, they generaly wont even put a cast on the hand (my uncle is a bone setter in the a and e) all they can do is advise you to obviously not punch or any sort of impact or vibrations on the hand.

You wouldnt be able to punch properly with it anyway, it is very painfull and eventualy your hand just goes limp from the pain.

The bones in the hand stay still unless they are forced to bend as in punching a bag

Iv seen broken bones in the Hand Operated on and held in place with wires to speed up recovery, the NHS obviously dont offer this.

Im from Guernsey, we dont have to rely on the NHS

Im telling you wether you wire up a bone in a hand or not you will still not be able to punch with it until its completely healed.

The hand is your only weapon in boxing, it takes the brunt of eveything, if its a broken leg it may slow you down a bit but you will still be able to move around with all your weight but a broken hand and your ****ed

Reids conender fight is on tonight

He had only 2 weeks to prepare for this, so should be given alot of credit and leeway, for at his age and activity, to fight on a big bill with very short notice and being obviously rusty.

I want to see him get another warm up maybe on the Kahn v limmond undercard.

Ok, maybe im being pedantic but I consider breaking your hand as all the bones in the palm, a thumb is a digit along with your fingers.

You are right though a thumb bone is on his hand.

Along with Calzaghe though if he were to turn over his punches properly then he would connect with his knuckles and not his thumb !

This is down to McCracken, I dont rate him as a trainer, all his fighters are the same, easy to hit and lazy workers.

Carl fought Tatavosyan 4 months after Magee where he broke his hand, a world rated fighter 4 months after he broke his hand, that is why I questioned it.

When I broke my hand it was a bone between my little finger knuckle and my wrist (I punched a wall in temper) I couldnt punch with any weight for at least 5 months but I was told that there was nothing they could do about that bone because the only time it would move is if I were to punch something, normal movement didnt bother it

Frochy puts it down to the type of gloves he used BBE. Iv tried on a pair of these and see his point, your thumb seems to stick out, He never had a problem with Everlasts.

Froch Faught Magee June 06, Tatevosyan March 07. Thats 9 months not 4.
He had fight with Dodson in between Nov 06.

Plus you dont have to be very far off target to catch your thumb with an uppercutt. The punch which Froch hit Magee with in the first.

Carl's thumb was snapped at the base, he pulled his glove off at Bethnal Green and it just dropped down, floppy - very weird.

He was furious with the BBE gloves -swore he'd never fight in them again as they were dangerous.

He has two small dots either side of the thumb were it was pinned in place - he said it stung like hell when they drew the pin out - it looked like something off a watch strap.

ROSS - you off Saddo? how you doing fella - still rooting for Reid, fair play.

ADIE -i'm from Notts too.
