I have really high ones,and if I get jabbed at least 30 times I usually get a bruise under my eye.I cant stand that,even if I out classed the sparring partner it always looks as if I got my ass handed to me.haha.

That ****s annoying.I wish I could do something about that besides not ever getting jabbed a few times.Which is impossible.

yeah, i do too. it's bad for cuts also

I do too and it was rediculous back in HS when I was seriously training. My teachers would even call my parents cause I always looked beat up coming into school.

I get bruises high on my cheekbones, just below the corners of my eyes a lot. Like, every couple of weeks. My friends make fun of me -- they joke that I must not be too good of a boxer b/c my face is always beat up. But they never want to come to my gym. . . . hmm. . . . :thinking:

Never figured it might be part of facial structure. . . just figured I need to duck better. :boxing:

i have pretty low ones, one of the guys at my gym has pretty high ones and in his last fight the guy only scored about 8 points on him and he had two black eyes from pretty weak shots, just unlucky.

I can feel his pain. I bet ppl go around thinking."Man,he must of pissed someone off"

yeah i bet it would be ****house he was only a point or two off the ref stopping the fight but if you saw him the next day you wouldn't have thought that.

Yup I have the exact same problem because of the cheekbones. You just have to learn to keep your face covered. especially if you're planning to go pro, because we all know that judges sometimes 'score blood'.

Were I single, that is EXACTLY the time I'd go clubbing. With my friends talking up the fight in front of every girl in the place. Instant alpha male.

The high cheek bones isn't the underlying problem. If those long-armed boxers are jabbing the **** out of you it is because your head is too easy to hit. The best way for a short slugger to avoid getting hit is to move towards them while bobbing and weaving and pumping your own jab. You must do all three things at once otherwise all that will happen is that you will get into a jabbing contest which you are sure to lose. This can be a very effective technique because most opponents don't know how to counter it.

With that guy I actually did a jabbing contest.Why? I have no ****in clue.I was moving him with it though,he was all over the place. Jesse said the same thing you said when I was done.Do all of it in the same motion. I usually do,but I was trying other **** out. I didnt have a problem gettin in at all.

The first 2 minutes I was working defense.He had to of had thrown 50 jabs in that 2 minutes and hitting me with only 5 I say.I vowed to myself to not have another black eye for a year. I plan to do that.

Yeah but some hoes dont want a violent guy. I wish they all did.:blackeye:

Wouldnt headgear with cheek protectors help?

Every girl wants the same thing, no matter what they say. They all want a badboy who's a good man. Every one of them. Don't let them play you any other way. :boxing:
