Safety --headgear question

[heavyweightfan]

I suffered a broken nose 3 months ago :(

[size=18]I was told that the REYES HEADGEAR with the bar across the nose will protect against further injury to the nose.[/size]
Is the REYES FACESAVER HEADGEAR good ? Do trainers recommend it?Is it my best option to protect my nose from further contact /damage??

Only for sparring, dont think you can use that for bouts.

I use the Tital Platnum Head Guard...it is a full face and I haven't suffered a broken nose yet. It will hurt after but nothing has been broken.

I tried a head guard, same kind that George Foreman usto wear during his comeback, the one that is full face, like a S@M looking thing. Anyways, I found that I had little or no perifial (side to side) vision and the nose part, that was sticking out a few inches from your face gave you a disadvantage in that even if you slipped a punch by moving back away from it you would get cliped cause you had that inch or two more to get out of the way, when your usto just sliping a punch by a fraction, then the extra distance takes a bit of getting usto, moving that much more out of the way. I found I would get cliped and my head would feel like its being spun around and this would give me awful headaches after, felt like it was to big of a target, can't remember the brand name, but I would avoid it, unless you got a neck like Foremans then it probobly would'nt bother you.

cheers M.O.

i hit a guy wearing the one with the metal bar over the nose and screwed up my wrist,
took forever to heal, had my hands wrapped good and everything,
i wouldent ever spar a guy wearing one because of it,
just my opinion, i dont like them
