It’s not so much about “padding” but it’s haedwr to clean a cut under a beard, easier to get infected, and it’s also a weapon if you’ve cut your opponent you can rub your corse beard on the wound to irritate it further.
jaded I’ll be on his door stop eating canadien bacon and postulating how Canada was not Americas 51st state

Had to rub my eyes to accept that this was a real question........
Hell no, beards do not provide "padding"..... Where is the logic in that. In that case, football players with an afro shouldn't be as worried about concussions.
The reason the rule is in place is because facial hair causes issues with cuts to the eye. It exist in both pro and amateur boxing. Some states aren't as strict with the rule.Damn Wicked likes this.

I hate doing this (answering a question with a question)
How could facial hair contain enough cushion to prevent a KO ?
The brain being rocked is what leads to KO's

If any of you believe a beard can protect your chin, you must have never grown a full thick beard. Only a pubescent boy or a little girl would believe such horse ****.
