Hey everyone I just wanted to get your advice on a problem I've had in my last two amatuer fights, and I sometimes have during sparring-GAGGING ON MY MOUTHPIECE.

Now I have a single mouthpiece, not a double, but still I"ve gotten really winded in there before and then gagged on it and started dry heaving a bit. That is the worst feeling in the world, its very hard to keep fighting when that happens.

I think its mostly nerves and just getting tired in there, but it could be that my mouthpiece was too old and dried out and too long.

Recently I boiled a new one and shaved it to about 2/3 of what my old one was.

I'm fighting my 3rd smoker on Saturday and I do not want to gag on that fucking mouthpiece again!

Thanks.
