I'm not sure that training to deal with MORE pain is the right way to prepare for a fight, to be honest. While it is important to find out if you have a glass jaw before stepping into a ring professionally, I don't think getting punished just for the sake of pain tolerance threshold is very smart. Train NOT to get hurt, that makes more sense.

Also, assume your opponent DOES have a high tolerance for pain. Making any assumptions that you can stop someone with a pure pain technique is risky. In my opinion, this is more important than training yourself to be tougher.

IMHO.
