Why don't boxers suffer a broken nose whenever they get punched on the nose?

[GhostofDempsey]

I was never really fighting until I tasted some blood, them it was on. Bloody noses stopped, bloody lips and cuts inside of my mouth never did.........Rockin'

First time I ever sparred I had no gear. Coach gives me a brand new mouth piece from the package. The ones you had to boil first and shape to your teeth. Naturally he didn’t do that so I had to put it in with the rough edges and needless to say I got the inside of my lips all cut up. Couldn’t eat anything salty or ****y for a few days. Good times.

I seen the first jab give a guy bloody nose his first time sparring

Erik Morales bony nose was notorious for breaking

[Roadblock]

They not that easy to break with padded gloves on, it takes the right angle at the side of the nose or a upperct that catches the point of the bone clean and solid. The gristle part of the nose flattens and sorta breaks often the nose bone not so much, over time it forms the pug nose from all the minor tears and minor breaks of the fibrous gristle so it repairs like a blob of putty.

If the average person got punched on the nose as often as boxers do their nose would be leaking blood like a faucet. Because of the fact they get punched so often do boxer's nose bone strengthen over time?

Genetics.

Some pros eg Mayweather nose bleed easily, while others eg Bradley never.

I actually did that salt thing. When I first started out I used to bleed all of the time from my nose in sparring, and I mean all of the time. I didn't experience nose bleeds in my fights though, kind of strange.

One day, it just stopped bleeding. Like Ghost said, I figured that it just built up so much scar tissue that it just stopped. I don't recall my nose ever bleeding while pro.

If you could have seen my amateur gyms white ring canvas you would have seen a ton of blood stains. And I know that many of the stains are mine. Your nose will bleed in this sport and that's just how it is.

As for the broken nose question, my nose just goes flat when hit like it was designed for fighting, it has just always done that for as long as I can remember. When I push my nose flat it just always flattened out. Now these guys with their straight protruding nose, I don't know. I do know that I would not like to be one of those guys though.....Rockin'

Carl Froch comes to mind, not that it bled all the time, but it was a straight pointy thing he had repeatedly broken.

Yer the cuts inside the mouth i would think would be worse cause they would take along time to heal.
