Paddy Barnes has left a couple of bitterly angry tweets about the lack of protective head gear for boxers in Kazakhstan. He complained of blurred vision
That's it all over!Was out on my feet in the 1st round and didn't recover, blurred vision for 3 rds with head clashes!Fuck your no headgear!

He accused the President of International Boxing Association Wu Ching Kuo of not caring about boxer's welfare and attacked the fighter's schedule
Fighting with no headgear is good, but to fight 6 times in 10 days without it is impossible, Dr Wu doesn't care he isn't the one fighting

In an interview with Kenny Egan afterwards, Billy Walsh confirmed that Barnes getting headbutted in the First Round was a large part of the reason for his loss...
