Also, since you know punches to the face won't hurt you, you may unintentionally drop your hands a bit, leaving you open when you switch to regular headgear for a fight. I3C727 06-14-2009, 06:49 PM he uses the Winning FG 5000 headgear. Hopefully you know its close to 400 dollars. i have never used it but people around here have. Im probably gonna take the dive sooner or later and get one. mmrooms 06-14-2009, 07:42 PM Does the Fg-5000 protect you from hits to the eyes? Can your eyes or your nose get hit anyway? I have a retinal tear and I was wondering if FG-5000 could allow me to rise again on the ring... cusd'amatokid 06-14-2009, 08:14 PM thanks guys, i know his is expensive i was looking at the ones in ringside the reyes or fightgear brands theyre 130 and 150, so thats managable Leakbeak 06-15-2009, 12:41 AM Does the Fg-5000 protect you from hits to the eyes?

In competitions you will wear small regulation headguards. Check with your optician! Pro: protects your face more Con: Can't see as well.

Is that OK. If so, I might try one out mmrooms 06-15-2009, 04:24 AM No because your eyes will get hit at some point. In competitions you will wear small regulation headguards. Check with your optician! i don't think I can compete anymore.... So you are saying me that with this headgear your eyes CAN be hit? Thank you so much TyroneSpong 06-15-2009, 07:08 PM i don't think I can compete anymore.... So you are saying me that with this headgear your eyes CAN be hit? Thank you so much If you have permanent serious eye injury you should probably stick to sparring and not compete. Its not uncommon to get hit in the eye in fights so I don't think anyone should risk getting blind just to have some competition in their lives. It's not like you have the chance to become world champion, right? #1Assassin 06-15-2009, 07:11 PM To Keep An Carrot Youve Gots To Water It supRa 06-15-2009, 10:33 PM that winnin is the best if u ask me... big name fighters use those headgear..... i use this http://store.titleboxing.com/facprottrain.html i usally dont used shi!t from title but this headgear does its job... cusd'amatokid 06-16-2009, 01:40 PM that winnin is the best if u ask me... big name fighters use those headgear..... i use this http://store.titleboxing.com/facprottrain.html i usally dont used shi!t from title but this headgear does its job... do you like it? can punches still get through to the the nose? hows the visibility?
