    Well the flexors and extensors are the two muscle groups that keep your hand position rigid on impact not allowing your wrist to turn back or over.

    I think punching and training your arms to punch is the best sports-specific workout to develop any muscle you need to in order to better your punch. I wouldn't worry about isolating it until you've worked on punching for a good while; best way to better the action is to do it.
