You can't wear contacts while boxing. It's almost inevitable they will get dislodged, and some types could cause permanent damage. It's actually against ABA rules; I assume it's the same for the pros. The laser op is the only real solution; Bruno had that done, I think.
Actually, you really have to be pretty short sighted for it to be a major problem in boxing - I know because I passed from one side to the other as my eyes got worse in my teens. I had a lot more trouble with rugby... you can't catch the frigging ball if you never see it thrown at you. In boxing, your opponent is close and his gloves are the big red things.... :boxing:
How bad were your eyes? my eyes are like -3.00 right now, i spar without contacts its kinda impossible to spar with contacts.. anyways the reason i asked you about your eyes is cuz i wanna know if they will let me fight with these eyes
Here I'll help you out seeing as how I'm unemployed with nothing to do!!
The vid was added in April 2008! Who knows if he's telling the truth. Would be good if he came back in shape!
