I’m really sick of this headgear talk

AK6y ago

Cause of recent events the media has made it their mission to try to fix boxing and they seriously think headgear will solve all head truama. Not only is this naive it’s absurd! Your brain will rattle no matter the protection if it’s hit by a force it doesn’t have ligaments attaching it to the skull it litteraly rattles Everytime your head is rocked by any type of hit that’s why football helmets do nothing. Next we get ufc type of gloves then what? That takes away a lot of defense cause gloves essentially help you block and these arnt ufc type of punches flying at you it’s actually a guy who set his feet and properly through a punch that **** will cause cuts up the ass. Which brings me to my next point about headgear in the first place it’s only ment to prevent cuts and it’s the most annoying thing in the world I swear I got more pimples from those things then any teenage harmones. Imagine being hit while your face/Head is on fire that’s what headgear does to you in a serious spar. In conclusion we know the dangers of this sport but headgear and smaller gloves is not the answer.

Why I always look for the small headgear. The one Tyson is using. https://s3.amazonaws.com/production_gotfanz/photos/1234/original.jpg

Headgear is terrible. It makes it so you can't slip punches and EVERYTHING rocks your head. Prevents cuts, increases head trauma, IMO.

They’re trying to imply dumb logic as in fighters think they’re safer in headgear so they take more shots that’s a ridiculous article and a excuse that was used but the in reality it’s cause I have sweat pouring in my eyes and my head is super heated. Believe what you want though but we (amateur boxers) only wear this shat cause when we do tournaments we fight multiple times a day and we can’t afford cuts. You still in the Am's ?

What I’m saying is headgear is actually WORSE for concussions. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2016/08/07/sports/olympics/making-olympic-boxing-safer-by-eliminating-head-guards.amp.html They’re trying to imply dumb logic as in fighters think they’re safer in headgear so they take more shots that’s a ridiculous article and a excuse that was used but the in reality it’s cause I have sweat pouring in my eyes and my head is super heated.

It absolutely has no effect on concussions other than being annoying like I said your brain still rattles every shot.

Headgear has been found to cause more concussions. It’s why it was removed from the Olympics and isn’t used in the World Series of boxing. Boxing rules should only be made by boxing people It absolutely has no effect on concussions other than being annoying like I said your brain still rattles every shot.
