    Woke up this morning with a black eye. We used proper head gear and 16oz gloves when sparring yesterday. I don't even remember getting hit in the eye lol. Is it common to get facial injuries even with headgear?

    If you don't get bruised up including shoulders, ribs and face, you're doing it wrong.
