What is the commissions purpose in the dressing room?

Hold on, you can't drink coffee before a commissioned bout?

Nevada State Athletic Commission rules:


1. Bandages on the hand of an unarmed combatant may not exceed one winding of surgeon’s adhesive tape, not over 1 1/2 inches wide, placed directly on the hand to protect the part of the hand near the wrist. The tape may cross the back of the hand twice, but may not extend within three-fourths of an inch of the knuckles when the hand is clenched to make a fist.
2. Each unarmed combatant shall use soft surgical bandage not over 2 inches wide, held in place by not more than 6 feet of surgeon’s adhesive tape for each hand. Up to one 15-yard roll of bandage may be used to complete the wrappings for each hand. Strips of tape may be used between the fingers to hold down the bandages.
3. Bandages must be adjusted in the dressing room in the presence of a representative of the Commission and both unarmed combatants. Either unarmed combatant may waive his privilege of witnessing the bandaging of his opponent’s hands.

That's what I heard during the PAC vs Marg fight, when Marg was caught adding splenda (which Freddie thought was Hydroxycut) to his coffee, then Freddie was highly pissed.

Also according to them, the commission basically let Marg drink it in front of them.

Thanks, Now according to this, shouldn't Cotto be putting some blame on the NSAC as well, he is accusing Marg of cheating against him.

Cotto's team didn't sound too sure of whether or not they had a team member present for the wrapping of Margarito's hands (on the recent HBO 24/7 show when it was discussed), whereas Marg's team were adamant that a Cotto representative WAS present. Also, a commission staff member WOULD have been overseeing things (I don't know how well-versed commission staff are, though, in the art of hand-wrapping: if Naazim Richardson hadn't spotted what was going on before the Mosley fight, it seems the commission rep would have let Margarito fight with loaded wraps).

Yup, also how competent or trained are these employees of the commission?

Now i keep hearing that people should be there from the other camp, I thought someone from the commission was supposed to be in the dressing room at all times and especially during wrapping, can I get some insight from you guys.

How did Marg drink coffee if the commission is there?

Coffee is not a banned substance

I wasn't making a statement of fact, I wrote "...it SEEMS..."

A lot of the time when TV footage is shown of the dressing room during the wrapping process, the guys in suits don't seem (that word again!) to be paying too much attention.

Personally, I don't think Marg's gloves were loaded against Cotto.

UMMM FALSE

Naazim caught it almost at the last second. One arm was ALREADY wrapped with a bad wrap and he caught the second wrapping. So its not impossible. And obviously you dont know ***** because you said the ref would have caught it? the ref isnt watching the wraps
