I've done some MMA work and I'm looking to improve my standup with a bit of boxing. I've had a sparring session with my twin brother, and thought it would be a good idea to buy some headgear. I'm worried that one of us will walk into a punch, or make a mistake and hit the other harder / not in the area we intended (ie: nose, mouth) so I'm looking to prevent the damage buying some headgear. He however insists that he doesn't need the headgear and "that's the risk you take when you put the gloves on".
What can you guys recommend? Do we need to wear headgear? Do the pro's (protection) outweight the cons (he says it will make one's head hotter and lower the amount of vision).
Any help would be great.
