Who's pumped for no headgear!?!?!

Same here, I can slip punches no problem without but find it hard when I'm wearing it. Plus, It just feels irriating on your face.

 

They restrict my vision. I don't see punches that well coming from around the guard. If anything there's a good reason to spar without them.

 

Is this supposed to take place directly after the london olympics? If so i'm very exited i always hated headgear myself and the horrible method of point scoring we have presently but it seems sudden when can we expect the new rules to take place in amateur fights? Or are they going to start training people in the new system AFTER the olympics ?

 

It never quite restricts my vision but I feel really 'enclosed' when wearing it, then it always seems to be in the most awkward position on my brow which is really annoying. A lot of it might be the headguard I am using, I don't have my own but I might have to get one soon that fits a lot better.

 

If some people prefer not to use headguards then that's on them. Who gives a **** if you haven't had dramas with them....
