    you punch with your middle, ring,and pinky fingers. newbie...some people mite punch with the index and middle fingersssssssssss....not your knuckles. The reason being the force of the impact is spread over a larger area on your hand. Three years of your time wasted

    WRONG....

    You punch with your middle and index knuckle.

    Knuckles do the damage, not your fingers..

    You should ask for your money back if your trainer taught you to punch with your fingers.

    :rofl

    if that was the case my technique was wrong my hands would be ****ed from my old gloves that are ever softer but there fine and can do bag work and spar for over an hour with no problems ,only when i use the new gloves i get sore hands .
    And trying to break them in I use them on the heavy bag continuiously speed punching no hard punches. May be you just dont punch hard enough anyway

    na, you're wrong. this goes to skeletal alignment, a straight line runs from the three fingers i mentioned, but if you throw a punch and land with the first two knuckles that straight line is ruined because your wrist is turning outwards slightly.
    Maybe I just dont punch hard enough anyway? stfu maybe you don't spar for an hour

    bull**** your joking, your serious!! You keep on punching with your pinky finger. That is the biggest load of **** i have heard. You must have read this somewhere you tool.

    Everyne knows you land with your index and middle knuckle. Knuckles do damage, not your pinky finger.

    so when you throw short right, overhands and hooks you think you should land with the flat part of your pinky finger. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I'm not going to explain this to a imbecile again. You land with your knuckles, the knuckles do damage. If you land with your fingers in a hook, that is a slap, not a punch.

    If a punch lands with the pinky finger, then another punch with the same force lands with the index and middle knuckle, what will do more damage to your opponent. :good

    If your new gloves are Everlasts and you have long fingers? It is the gloves not you. Short finger compartment and hard leather.

    I had the exact same problem. Switched to Ringsides? Problem solved.
