I'd check with Eddie Hearn. He imports most of his heavy bags around that weight from Europe and South America.

That 108£ bag looks good, although I might for the smaller "jumbo bag", what is the minimum I would need to hang one of those up?.

I've got the 70kg ringside Black and Tan leather, good bag very solid for body shots.

I had a bag full of leather off cuts (rather than the usual cloth off cuts) it weigh in excess of 200lbs and I used it to practise bodyshots (the bag ended up with a huge indentation in each side) I've since had both rotator cuffs repaired and I am now on the waiting list for a full wrist fusion.

Years of using a bag that weight will wreck your joints mate, I'd advise against it.

Even in 10 rounder maintaining a high punch rate, you're going to punch your opponent 100 - 200 times at BEST. If you do 3 or 4 ten round sessions a week on the heavy bag you're going to land 1000 - 2000 punches on it, that takes it's toll on the joints.

You're better off getting a mate 150lbs plus to wear a big bodyshield a couple of times a week and bashing him around.

IF you must use a bag, may I suggest something like a Powair or LiquiShock bag (100lbs or less) ?

Sorry to hear that. Hope you make a good recovery. Did you use wraps and 16oz gloves? Also, I'm presuming you're a heavyweight to have been using such a big bag?

My right shoulder is 85% what it was, my left probably 70% ish, time will tell with the wrist but thanks for the kind words :TU:

I used to wear pads over my knuckles, big training wraps BUT stupidly only standard bag gloves or 10oz fight gloves. I was a cruiser/heavy, stuck between weights really my best weight was 14st 7lbs - 14st 10lbs, BUT when I was active the cruiser limit was 13st 8lbs.
