Question about cauliflower ear

[Douglas]

Cauliflower ear is caused by the damage of the cartilage in the ear.

When the cartilage becomes damaged the blood vessels within bleed causing the fractures or hollows to solidify.

It doesn't hurt severly but it will be felt.

Cauliflower ear rarely occurs in boxing anymore as it really only occurs when theremis a lot of contact with heads grinding on one another or the ears are interfered with.

Its also technically not a legal shot,refs call hitting behind alot more then they used to

I wondered if you could get hit in the ears without it being a foul shot.
