For the lazy, this is what have been said: HBO's Jim Lampley: Although in some states it is illegal, some fighters including Floyd had been known to inject numbing medicines into their hands JUST PRIOR TO A FIGHT, a measure that can give a boxer a short-lived but dangerous sense of confidence. Margaret Goodman, M.D. (speaking as NSAC Medical Advisory Board Chairman): By numbing something out, you can't feel it. If you can't feel it, you're gonna hit harder with it. And then you won't even know if you really injured it.
Somebody post my Pac head increas in size and diameter and the pertruding klingon forehead bone.. I dont feel like it. Mr HGH and all other kinds of ****.
i think this is just wrong even if its legal. a fighter can inject this prior to a fight with or without hand problems thus gaining an unfair advantage in a fight knowing that he can punch as much as he can without feeling pain in return.
