Amature Success effects pro style

No doubt it doesnt povide a huge amount of potection but it would definitely blunt some of the force of punches. Ive neve really heard of amateurs suffering from severe bain damage or anything. I could be wrong though.

Heres the article anyways

Another thing about headgear is that it protects the "true" amateur, who has work on monday morning, because his career isn't subsidised by a national olympic board. I'm talking the guys who don't necessarily dream of turning pro, that just want to fight at weekends for love of the game.

The scoring system is what really needs to change, to reward a greater range of styles. The current system makes you fight in a very narrow style to be successful.

 

before i read any more,what a load of complete bollocks this is,if you have boxed,you aint never wore a head guard before,they cause more damage than not wearing one,infact,don't get me ****ing started on shittie ****ing headguards :fire

 

When I used to spar we had these head guards where the sides were like normal head guards but the front was covered with plastic. It looked more like a helmet than a head guard, but it's a good thing because I was taking so many jabs that if it wasn't there my nose would be really crooked.

 

I have boxed before, and still am boxing. Head guards are uncomfortable to wear fair enough, they still are necessary imo. You dont think hey prevent cuts no?

 

cuts from head clashes definitely. Where do you get most cut? the eyes and its hard to land completely flush on the skin of someone eyes with a headguard on so they definitely help against cuts. Less protection against damage to the brain though but still some

 

I'm not sure they are - they tend to be negative and constantly wait on their opponents. Great counter-punchers draw the lead.

 

A study in the late 90s found that head guards offered little protection against brain damage and were actually more dangerous. The most common report was the reduction of peripheral vision.

 

Nope, to me they are the most needless thing in boxing, maybe the only good thing is they can stop cuts. When im not pissed i will try and explain what got told of a brain doctor when i saw one, i wil be sober by tomorrow :thumbsup

 

Beat me to it, this is one thing, by tomorrow when im sober i wont have to say owt
