    Head gear is horrible.

    Not even women should use it.

    It’s stupid.

    People that think otherwise are stupid and should be booted.

    Headgear or not, it sure doesn't look to me that Yoka takes a particularly good punch!

    Well maybe so, I also question his ability to take a mental punch, as in to be pushed hard into the trenches of war, knuckle down,. Bite down when taking punishment

    As soon as he fights a live body, he's getting KTFO

    Everyone who ever had headgear on in a boxing ring know it's pretty hard to fight with that ****. I don't think you can say "If yo go down with headgear, you're even worse.". It's BS and everyone who ever had gloves on and sparred with headgear on can confirm that. It's annoying as ****. The problem is @Zakman is a complete joke and never had boxing gloves on, a classic keyboard warrior. I don't think Yoka is glass, he might have not the best chin but a lot of people said this about Wilder and then Wilder took massive shots by Ortiz, Breazeale and Fury without going down.

    Another problem with headgear is it makes people think they're invincible (especially the cage style) and it creates lazy habits like lack of head movement and not keeping hands up/blocking punches properly. It's main use should be preventing cuts/facial damage close to a fight while in training.
