I got hit hard in my nose yesterday in sparring and since I'm new to it, I don't know whether it's just pain or more. It hurts when I touch the top of it. And it looks a bit swelled. Is this actually an injury or it's normal since I just started sparring?

If you took hard shots to the nose man then it's going to be sore. I had a headache for several weeks after I first sparred and i was very worried!
If it's swallon just get a bit of ice on it and give it a few days and it should be fine.

Most fights and spars etc. Some parts of your face or body will feel tender. I remember after my first bout my face was all swelling up but after a day or two it just went. Thats what the sports about!

my first time sparring i got hit directly in the neck and that shit hurt. but thats all

Welcome to the sport of boxing. Get used to things hurting. In time your mind will take control of it.

Rockin' :boxing:

Lol, ok. Question, if it's still swollen on Monday, should I still spar?

I know how you feel.. my nose started bleeding the second time I sparred, but doesn't feel sore only tight when I press against the top of the bridge..

since u said it was swollen wat u should do is take some hot(hot enough to touch) water and put it in a cup or bowl and then dip ur fingers in the water and slowly massage ur nose from between ur eyes to the bottom of ur nose ...if u do it right it should start to feel better...good luck

Ok, I'll try that. Should I still spar Monday if it's still swollen?

never been hurt in a street fight,boxing match, or sparring. Thing is i usually dont get hit but I know once i step up im gonna so I dont know how I will react but so far i have never been hurt at all.

Ok, I'll try that. Should I still spar Monday if it's still swollen?
If You feel able to. Besides did you get caught with your head down or what? It's dangerous to do that one of the boxers at my gym has broken their nose, because of that bad habit.

ive just gotten bloody lips from mouthpeices cuttuing them

dont spar if it still hurts.. period..

It's dangerous to do that one of the boxers at my gym has broken their nose, because of that bad habit.I got caught with my head straight. He jabbed and my head flicked up for a second then he came in with a straight left while my head was straight.
