    Broke the base of my thumb sparring, otherwise known as a Bennett's fracture. I imagine a number of you have done this so I have a few questions.

    When did you get back boxing?

    How can you better protect the thumb?

    I left hook a lot and have hurt my thumb several times. I'm now worried that after the fracture it will be weaker.

    left hook with the thumb up instead pointing at you.

    I seem to damage the lower bit of my thumbs quite a bit,sickening pain normally caused by elbow blocks.
