To each their own, paquiao wears BAR head gear, so does canelo so does mikey garcia and lots of other elite fighters.. whatever works for each i guess.
This holds true even to this day. The one time I sparred with headgear on was the worst I’d ever done. I got a concussion and couldn’t sleep properly for about a month. Every single time I went at it without headgear, I won almost every round. The shit is borderline useless.
The only time ive ever been hurt was wearing headgear. Couldnt see the kick coming out of my periferal. Broke my orbital. Never wore it again with no issue
One thing I recommend to anybody, is work on your refelxes . When I'm sparring I always wear head gear however I ussually like to work on my reflexes when sparring 🥊💪 I never try to get hit
I see why they dont use head gear,but since i am still healing from eye surgery and have only one good eye left i kinda use it to protect my eye so ykkk yaaa i wish i woulda stayed outta trouble years ago
From experience in the Boxing gym i can confirm that many people start having a false sense of security with headhear and then start taking hits because of that BUT, i disagree with some comments here. I had sparing sessions in the gym that resulted in the same thing happening because we didn't hit hard. In my Gym we usually go soft or medium force to the Head, the guys with experience still try to not get hit, but the guys with less experience think "Hey, i can take the shot, so why bother moving?".
The same principle applies to Headgear, the experienced ones know to avoid the Hits, even with Headgear. So you should always wear Headgear in sparing. And there are a lot of sparing videos with Tyson using Headgear so let's not take Kevins words as gospel truth 😉
When jimmy Jacobs died he got don king as promoter Kevin Rooney was a displicnary old school trainer and don king got rid of him after that there were no more guys left from cus camp like when he lost to buster Douglas the trainer didn't even have I not what u call it but to take swelling down around the eye they didn't have one go back and look at that fight he didn't have the same look he looked loose cause early mike tyson he came out no robe no socks no shirt it's was all business go back and look at the beginning of that fight
I´m an afficionated boxer (I had one amateur fight only), I recommend bar headgear if you train like me (sparring just once day per week). It absorbs damage, this is something scientificaly proven.

I imagine headgear acts like an anti-salve making the punches stick instead of glancing off as they often do on a bare head.
mike killing someone in the background lol

True this. Head gear prevents surface cuts, in the skull, your brain rattles the same

Wow that's crazy, they knew about this stuff way before it was eventually confirmed by scientists.

Rooney was my trainer when I was a kid great guy
Rooney
rooney sounds and talks like mike.. lol
I was once sparring and had a headgear
A guy beat the shit out of me
He sounds like the white Mike Tyson.
I wonder if rugby headgear would prevent cuts from accidental headbutts.

Way ahead of their time , recent studies show that headgear causes more damage as it creates a second wave amongst impact through the brain
Grande istruttore Tyson deve molto a lui

Kevin told me this personally in 2009 or 2010. He said Tyson never wore headgear unless he needed to for some other reason
Grande allenatore Tayson come pugile deve molto a lui è stato un abbinamento perfetto
Miles ahead of his time
