Teaching a boxing class this morning, holding pads for a football player.
I use these old pads because they fit (got carwin hands, cant use most pads) but the design sucks. The top third of yourfingers are exposed.

So i call out 1-1-2-5-2. Double jab, cross-lead uppercut-cross.
He throws the double jab, pop-pop, follows with the cross, pow, then drills in a left hook right into the ends of my fingers, bending 3 of themback.

Straight away i knew something didnt feel right so went to ED. xray reveals chunk of bone chipped off in the middle of my wedding finger.

Now i have this bullshit half cast on that makes my left hand largely useless. Cant type, cant perform day job, struggled to cut up dinner earlier (roast tho, twas hot sauce) and all because this didgeridoo couldnt tell the difference between a hook and an uppercut.

Blimey.
 
Boy, typing this whole thing out must have sucked big time....

How is it feeling? Lots of pain? Is it going to interrupt your normal routine much? Can you list the things that it'll mess up in your life? Do you have a wife or kids? If kids, do you play ball with them? Is it your fap hand? Is there anything we can do to help? Has this ever happened to you before? Are you going to sue?

Let us know - I'm sure we all want to know, because we care...
 
The 1-1-2-5-2 is the Konami Code for finger breaking. Everyone knows that. It's your own fault.
 
Just wait till he's running around town saying you're a pussy and he knocked your finger out with one punch. Guys who injure others in training always brag about it like it's something to be proud of.
 
I wouldn't dare hold pads that have the finger tips exposed. If your a trainer, I'd get some custom pads made. There's a guy In The g+e forum who makes custom stuff and it's awesome quality. I'm sure he could make something custom to fit your big hands.
 
Ronnie Lott would just have it amputated and get back to work.

Your fault.

Use pads that dont expose your fingers next time.
 
Well, if you expected brilliance from a man whose idea of a good time is holding an inflated sack of leather while running directly into other men, then that's kinda on you.

Hope the hand heals quick though.
 
I wouldn't know for sure, but I think he just made an honest mistake. I'm sure a lot of people throw the wrong punch when they're first learning which punch the numbers correspond to.

Sounds painful but cheer up, it could have been worse, it could have happened to me!
 
What combos did you call before the 1-1-2-5-2? First time working with the guy? Need context.
 
I don't use said pads due to a dislocated finger.

Broke my right thumb playing American football in may and had a cast for 5-6 weeks. It was a fucking bitch but not really at first. It's the constant nature of it, wears you down. Destroys a large amount of training.

TLDR? protect them digits

Like everyone and always?!
 
Could be worse. At least you can still have a fap and wipe your ass.

jk/ that must really suck.
