I read here that many states prohibit it since it can cushion punches or reduce the strength of the punch by ejecting the punch away from the face.
Will he be using that **** again?
What does swimming have to do with a beard being a cushion for punches. This post is almost as dumb as the op
BUAhahaha... Every little thing helps, so it makes it unfair for the opponent, that is how this relates.
Tell that to the swimmers, "if they think a little stubble will slow them down".. Cmon man, dont call people a moron when you sound like you dont know certain rules.

Nelo was allowed to sport a beard since the Boxing Commission knew he's not capable of inflicting cuts on GGG. Nelo's punches were just like slaps according to GGG.
A beard is not a cushion lol wtf. His isn’t even that big. It’s basically stubble if you think a little facial hair will reduce punch strength you’re a moron

And also because Golovkin didn't request that it be trimmed. It is my understanding that it is dependent upon the opponent to request it be trimmed. Roy Jones showed up once with a fluffy beard and his opponent requested he trim it down to a short goatee which is apparently OK.
Why am I surrounded by this horrible stupid people?
Vaseline and why it's use must be limited according to rules:
Purpose
Same happens with a beard and even more if it's sweaty.
Fools.
Seriously, most of you guys should know this, but yea.. agendas and all.. bleh.
A freshly shaved face provides a much better contact surface if you catch em just right. A beard on the other hand.. dry, sweaty, greasy, etc. will definitely help slip/slide punches. This is common sense. Damn.
I think this is true. I don't believe a beard can slow down a punch or soften it's impact even a little bit.
it can't... beards can cause cuts or get in the others fighters eyes tho
A beard cant stop a punch man, they dont allow big beards so they dont get in the other fighters facesI think this is true. I don't believe a beard can slow down a punch or soften it's impact even a little bit.

Will he be using that **** again?He brings big money to Las Vegas when he fights there so maybe the LVAC aren't that strict on him. Terrible referee Weeks will be the ref in spite of objections from GGG's side. I think GGG will punch that red beard hard enough to get the KO win.

Vaseline and why it's use must be limited according to rules:
Purpose
Having several dabs of Vaseline or another type of petroleum jelly on your face during a boxing match might not do wonders for your appearance, but it can boost your longevity in the ring by protecting your face. When you have a dry face and are hit with a punch, your opponent's leather gloves can leave a burning feeling on your skin. With Vaseline on your face, however, the punch is more likely to slide off your face, prevent burns and limit the chances of sustaining a cut.

Why you gotta come in here making sense ? We were having fun and a laugh until you came along.
I don't know if his beard is thick enough for the rules to apply.
You got some pictures of this beard ? you can differentiate between stubble and a beard can you not ?
