GRIM Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Dam! I know most pros don't like it but this is the exact reason they make no contact/face saver type headgear, to prevent fight cancellation injuries during sparring/training 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LMWBXR Posted February 3, 2017 Members Share Posted February 3, 2017 You guys beat me to the post. I saw this at 3pm but it was 'unknown' as to why the fight was off still ,and they were guessing he had a cut. A lot of the top pro's train in face savers. They are annoying at times but in the weeks coming up to a fight it is worth the hassle not to lose your shot or your paycheck! I am eager to see this fight whenever it happens, but not so much because I'm a Kirkland fan. I'm an Anne Wolfe fan. She is a beast of a trainer when it comes to hardcore conditioning omg.
