I would encourage everyone to follow their dreams.

I'm down to 192, I was wrong about my weight stated earlier. I got 45 pounds to go, to make weight. This may sound weird, but is there any nose-exercise you can do to get ready for a possible broken nose?

You could get someone to drop medicine balls on it. This is a regular exercise used to toughen up your abs. It will have the same effect on your nose. If only a bit more bloody.

DLA could lose out on this thread if he poo-poos it any further.

medicine ball sounds great, but i'll just have the trainer drop it lightly at first, dont want any bloody noses too soon.

He is isnt he

Study Iron palm training videos but just do it with your nose instead of your hand.

Dont forget to come up out of the heated medicine bucket for air though.

Man, don't let these guys discourage you or give you silly ideas like dropping a medicine ball on it. I'll tell you the secret to preparing for a broken nose. Spoons.

Get a pair of small tea-spoons and lightly smack away at your nose with them. Have one further up at the bridge of your nose & another down near the base. Then hit away with the metal. You might be thinking 'well that will be nowhere near the power of a man's punch', however what it does is gets your nose used to impact.

As time goes on, start to improve the force with which you hit the spoons onto your hooter. It's really important that you don't miss opportunities to do this as it's really beneficial in the long-term, so if you're at dinner or down at starbucks, make sure you take advantage of what's there & let those teaspoons go

get good enough to not get hit

get good enough to not get hit

Or fight kid thunder , that will also work.

I always found that the best way to avoid nose bleeds was not to get hit... Either through defence or, hopefully in your case - avoiding a competative fight agaonst a younger, faster, better boxer all together.
