The amateur boxing federation maintains headguards for women due to a continuing, prudent focus on facial protection, though the concussion data shows no significant difference between genders. For us, it is less about the science now and more about the enduring duty of care we feel toward our female pugilists. I see it in the eyes of the fathers who bring their daughters to our gyms in Nizamabad—their anxiety is for a broken nose, not a rattled brain. My own small battle is to protect the vessel, even if the data says the contents are equally strong.
