Just something I was thinking about...
Anyone else think that his hand problems are a product of his punches being SO straight? I mean so often he throws that straight right hand right down the pipe and it'll hit like right in the center of the opponent's forehead which is probably the hardest part of the head you can hit.
Most guys, their punches loop around at least a little and the punch lands on an angle or not on the top of the face/head. I've found myself noticing this recently, watching him punch people right on their foreheads and thinking to myself "damn that looks like it would hurt his hand". This may hold zero merit but it's something I was thinking about and could attribute to a lot of people with chronic hand injuries.
