    So what do you think guys, is it an advantage to grown a beard like in Adrien Broner's case? Is it harder to get hit or something like this?

    It can be abrasive on the face of the opponent, it doesn't shield or cushion punches at all: True Story :!:

    Beards give a scientifically proven increase of male manliness, thus rendering the opposite fighter in awe of the rugged god in front of them.

    Beards win, unless they are on your grandmother.

    Adrian Broner was advised to grow a beard by doctors to stop rain drops destroying his glass chin.

    However this has raised a problem for his fans as they can't follow suit with their hero because:

    1- They haven't started ****rty and can't grow a beard

    or

    2- It adversely effects their ability to lick windows.

    Not really but it could provide slight cushion from a blow glad boxing doesn't allow that **** like they do in MMA

    Stubble is more likely to be abrasive than an actual beard.

    Nope, actually a hindering clump of pubics and a great bullseye for the opponent
