Im afraid of breaking it. This make my VERY uncomfortable during fights,

Im holding gloves close to my nose and all I can do is throw some soft jabs to my opponent with right hand still close to the face.
im starting bleeding like a pig.
Please tell me , is there a some way to avoid this or Im just a possy and boxing isn't for me( )
Afraid, what i am saying is if you have the competitive mentality to say "Ok if you hit me i am going to hit you back twice".
This can mean, yes it is a contact sport and i am going to get hurt, but i like this sport and i am going to fight fire with fire.
The best images to use in boxing or mma is "this is the art of hitting and not getting hit". But i use this one all the time in sparring
"Ok if you hit me i am going to hit you back twice".
As it takes the emphasis of evasion, and buts it on offense as the best defense is attack.
Dam the cliches
