I have.... but you seem to dismiss the discipline of boxers. If people want safety they should get rid of the headgaurds.... from the amatuers obviously. Blocks vision, restricts head movement and causes over heating of the hottest part of the body..... your head! The should also add a super heavyweight division in the pro ranks.... while at the same time getting rid of these pointless super flyweight, bantumweight nothing divisions!
You have fun fighting in an advancing tournament 5 days in a week without headgear. Tell me how long it takes before people start getting cut to **** or cauliflower ears.
I actually box right now. I don't know if you are referring to my view on headgaurds or there being to many weight classes in the lower weights and unrealistic weights in the higher ones..... but forums are for other peoples opinions too.
I'm sorry but headgaurds may take away some force from in coming shots but from my own experience, I wouldn't be getting hit with many of them shots in the first place if I wasn't wearing any headgear. It's mainly hooks that are the problem to see coming. I'm not the only one who thinks this either.
