so my trainer says it's time for sparring but i need to buy headgear. is there any headgear that MIGHT protect my big nose a little more than others? or does it even make a difference? i'm looking to buy training headgear.:boxing:

i see that some headgear has the cheek protectors that extend further towards the nose and are a bit more padded, does that make the difference?

keep your chin down and tucked into your collar bone, boom instant nose protection.

thanks meng!

If your worried about your nose...boxing isnt really your sport.

you're dumb.

anyway get a facebar headgear. search around on the forum and see what people like. If you're rich then get a winning fg5000.

No lets be real here, boxing is a sport where we get punched in the face round after round, theirs a reason a good deal leave the sport with unique noses. If getting my nose busted was my main concern i'd be exploring other options...just sayin...

it's not my main concern at all, i know its bound to happen again that i'll probably bust my nose, but i would say the less i do it the better. i'm fully aware that you cant enter the sport and not expect to get a few injuries.

if you get the right headgear i dont see any nose injuries occurring.

no nose injuries, but concussions are a ***** and you can't avoid that in boxing:boxing:

If you can afford it, get the Winning FG-5000. it has a face bar that will prevent nose injuries. It's also super cushioned, and will dramatically lessen the likelihood of concussions.
