Fragile Hands And Painkillers - What Fighters...

[Russell]

Have had numbing agents injected into their hands before fights?

Monzon and recently Mayweather have done it.

I think Ali did it early on in his comeback when his hands became semi-fragile after years off from fighting.

Who else?

[bladerunner]

probably Fenech.

Dundee would put sponges under the wraps with the approval of the commision for Ali.

[janitor]

You just dont hear about it.

Pacheco injected novocaine into Ali's hands on occasion,the problem was exacerbated by his workouts on a special heavy bag.

Lloyd Honeyghan had big hand problems and often need painkillers going into big fights.
