NYSAC says Martinez can't wear knee brace/extra knee MRI scans to get licenseced

[Canelo Phresh]

I know your not serious..So I won't even talk about Canelo but after Cotto wins do really think he gives a **** ass if he has to fight Canelo or GGG?

PRPP

Cotto takes a knee to his Argentine step daddy! His biological papi will be watching of coarse, Margarito.

Lou said he was told NYSAC medical advisory board called for ban on knee brace sheath.

NFL QBs wear braces etc. why shouldn***39;t a boxer, to protect himself??

Team DiBella got a call this morning about the nix on knee braces. Lou says he sees guys wearing them on his Broadway Boxing shows

Crazy...didn't Yuri Foreman wear a knee brace for his fight against Cotto??? Just saying....

My point is Margarito went in there and laced up with one good eye thats not for debate is not like Cotto did most of the damage. The Ny commission should of upheld to their integrity and health standards and that fight should of never took place. I cant take this commission seriously making regulations as they go. Lets hope the ref and the judges don't take away from this fight.

It's boxing. Everything in this sport is questionable. I don't disagree with what you've said in this post, but I honestly wonder if we'd be having this discussion had Margarito won the rematch.

Yeah, and that fight was in New York.

How the hell does questioning the commission why a fighter can't wear a knee brace make me a hater ?

I swear some of you dudes get more emotional and defensive than my 12 year old cousin when I make fun of Bieber.

It's incredible. You can't have an opinion that in any way reflects negatively on Cotto, otherwise you've mortally offended some dudes. lol

[R_Walken]

Personally don't care either way. You'd think Sergio is going to be the heavy favorite but I'm just wondering how His body will hold up because that knee seems fragile

[Dr Rumack]

There's no basis on which they can ban knee supports. The MRI scans should determine whether someone is fit to fight or not. All they'll achieve here is forcing injury prone fighters to take unnessecary risks.

I'm sure the brace is just precautionary for Sergio anyway. If the knee was still wrecked the brace wouldn't save him.

I think you are missing my point, Im questioning the Ny commission's ability to do their job and pointing out bias. Im using this fight as an example.

It's incredible and makes it almost impossible to have any sort of opinion with anything surrounding the fight. Somehow I offended someone for suggesting 40 year old Martinez coming off multiple surgeries was more likely to retire than Cotto
