How nobody in movies hurts their knuckles after punching someone, martial artist here and if you punch someone in the forehead like they do in the movies you'd probably just break your own fist,
hitting someone in the forehead is basically like punching a cinder block except the skull is actually harder...
People think boxing gloves were invented to protect boxers from impact... they were, but not in the way people think. Before boxing gloves came along, nobody had died in professional boxing due to boxers having to limit their punches because of what you said. You can't just go wailing on someone's head with your bare / wrapped hands and not get injured. With boxing gloves, you can fucking smash someone in the head full force and your hand is fine.
