Does boxing AGE your skin?

I guess it depends how good you are at avoiding punches.

I think so. I can ask my prof. later on since he knows quite a bit about a topic like this.

Like all the training and fighting ect .... does it do a number on your skin?

a few things factor in to what a fighter's skin does

one that no one really talks about is constant drying out of skin by cutting weight and dehydrating. For some when they cut a lot of weight their skin loses it's elasticity causing it to be less malleable and prone to opening up.

only if you been gettin that ass whipped.

[Canadian Kid]

yea if you keep your skin hydrated then it wont age fast

[MindBat]

Does this have anything to do with Lampley's comment about Shane's sudden ageing after the 2nd round of his fight with Floyd?

Just curious.

Bad defense and taking too many punches ages your skin.

[Chip2006uk]

Id guess getting punched in the face doesnt help your skin, but for some reason most boxers seem to have amazing skin

[Canadian Kid]

I just dont want my skin to age fast

I suppose scar tissue doesn't really "age" the skin.... it just leaves you with a scar....
