****** question: are boxers allowed to wear contact lense?

[U.ncleSam]

i notice margarito wearing eyeglasses. of course he wont wear that during the fight.

yeah but we dont. ive wore contacts in fights and ive fought without them. makes no difference to me without i cant tell whos who in the crowd lol. but its better not to wear them because you dont want it to get all in ya eye where you are uncomfortable and have to blink it out. ive never had a problem with them in fights only in sparring

[boxer2k5]

also he could be nearsighted like me and use his glasses for distance. which you dont need in the ring

some nearsighted are so bad if eye prescription is like 500+.. cant even read text on the computer..

Thats me. My coach told me to get some contacts and I've noticed myself when in the ring without my glasses I only see a silhouette of my opponent plus when they come in fast its harder to slip and evade when its blurry. Plus I someone throw a jab from way too far out cause i cant really gauge the distance. My glasses are thick and they would be coke bottle nerd type if it wasnt for that new option at the optometrist to thin the lens down.

the lenses are thin they even have bifocal contacts. so you be fine. i can fight and work without contacts no problem based off instinct. but no matter what everything feels better with contacts.

Idk how people fight with him...I left one of mine in during sparring...first shot that caught me the contact flew out my eye...my eyes were red after the sparring session

As long as I can see my opponent I'm fine...
