When it's clearly illegal. Martinez was denied a knee brace against cotto. Is it because the commission is gay for him and like his red hair and freckles?

Boxers will not be permitted to wear a knee brace during a bout. Boxers will be permitted to wear a knee sleeve during a bout under the following conditions: (1) the boxer will receive no competitive advantage from wearing the sleeve; (2) the knee sleeve will not pose any danger to the boxer’s opponent; and (3) the boxer—without the knee sleeve—is found medically fit to compete by the physician appointed by the Commission to examine the boxer prior to the scheduled bout.
Five champions in all and one of those five was a WELTERWEIGHT.
19 defenses. 4 champion opponents EVER. In 40 pro fights
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOO
OOOO
CTFUUUUUUUU
God you Borat girls are funny
What the hell. A couple of sentences in English the he rest is in Gibberish. Are you stoned???
You are a GGG hating Canelo loving idiot. GGG had been champion for many years with 19 successful title defenses against top ten contenders and other champions. He had wins over prime Lemieux, Murray and Jacobs, all who would have beaten anybody Canelo had beaten. GGG had no losses or debated wins while Canelo had lost to little Mayweather and had debatable wins over Lara, Cotto and Trout. I thought Canelo beat them but many did not. Old Mosley,and punching bags Kirkland and Angulo were not top fighter after top fighter and the guys GGG beat would have easily beaten them. GGG was a 4 to 1 betting favorite in the first fight because of his much better past performances as a champion against bigger better fighters than what Canelo was fighting. Almost everyone thought he won the first fight and he was still a 2 to 1 favorite to win the rematch. Over half the viewers thought he won the rematch which was closer. I am a big fan of both Canelo and GGG and think they are both great and evenly matched. You are an extreme hater of GGG and an over the top ass kisser of Canelo. You are an idiot spouting lies and BS and it's easy to see why you are red.
post of the day
You know what I don't understand. Why can't One of boxings top supposed p4p fighter beat a guy 10 year older than him cleanly with no controversy. Without 90 percent of the media having ggg winning both fights. Besides having a 10 year age advantage, he needs the ref's help, a knee brace, and the judges. LMAO. That's pathetic.
you forgot the bad taco meat
Cause he is keeping boxing alive unlike your Failed White Hope
Failed white hope? What are you on, Canelo (AKA the Irish Viking) is doing very well thankyou very much.
It's because Ginger is the end of all boxing. The Nevada State Athletic Commission/Governing body wants those profits and revenues he generates from the casinos each time he fights in their state. Likewise, Mauricio Sulaiman; The WBC's sanctioning body President. He wants those licensing fees.
You act like Canelo was wearing two bionic knee braces like Stone Cold Steve Austin back in the day lol.
Those sleeves don’t give you any competitive advantage and in fact restrict your mobility more than anything.
These Canelo haters are getting desperate with the excuses. Sad.
You know what I don’t understand why Canelo was allowed to even fight an overrated guy in the first place that was unfair to ggg and his fans sure ggg looked like the real deal but it wasn’t fair he was so used to facing bums while canelo was facing top fighter after top fighter smh totally unfair for ggg I say they reverse the loss because to make it fair canelo should have worn ankle weight and 20oz gloves to even things out.You are a GGG hating Canelo loving idiot.

It's a stupid rule. The boxer with two perfect legs is still better off than the boxer wearing the best knee brace. Martinez should have been allowed to wear his knee brace.

Lmao the funny thing here, is that he answer his own question
Boxers will be permitted to wear a knee sleeve during a bout under the following conditions: (1) the boxer will receive no competitive advantage from wearing the sleeve; (2) the knee sleeve will not pose any danger to the boxer’s opponent; and (3) the boxer—without the knee sleeve—is found medically fit to compete by the physician appointed by the Commission to examine the boxer prior to the scheduled bout.
You clearly don't understand the difference between a brace and a sleeve. Did you graduate from middle school?
That fight was in New York while the GGG and Jacobs fights were in Nevada. Different states have different regulations. I just checked the the Nevada State Athletic Commission rules and regulations and it doesn't look like there's anything in there that prohibits boxers from wearing knee braces.
Here's the link if anyone else wants to check. Always a chance I could have missed it
