Was sparring a bloke on Tuesday and he said I was getting hit too much because I look at the gloves. He said I should look at his face and try to keep an eye on his feet as well as they give away what is coming.

Anybody else have any ideas on this?

Also, during sparring I took a fairly solid uppercut to the nose and it hurt and my eyes watered like hell. Any trick to dealing with this aside from the obvious (don't get hit there in the first place).
