Comments Thread For: WBC's New Rule - Fighter's Father Can NOT Be Chief Second

ON HBO!




"he ain't doin' ****..."

After watching these videos while not being a fan of this new WBC rule I would support a rule where Roger Mayweather must be a cornerman for either side for any TV fight.

The workaround is too easy, make the father the cut man or second corner man, bring another trainer to be lead corner man.

In Danny Garcia's case, his brother is always the second corner man at his fights, make him chief and problem is solved.

what if your father is Robert Garcia?

You got that study? I can't believe the sample size would be big enough to make that study credible. I'm not saying I don't believe you I'm just saying I don't think there are enough father/son partnerships to make the study credible. I'm sure they included amateur too. I just want to look at the sample size of the study and a cpl other things

Mmm. I'd like a look at that study also, and for the exact same reasons. If the study is well designed it should acknowledge it's own limitations in scope and accuracy.

You said fathers wouldnt be able to give instructions between rounds assh0le

AS THE LEAD CORNERMAN!!!!!!!! THE RULE CLEARLY STATES THAT!!! Going by the letter of the law the father can not be the head corner man. I've also said the rule is unenforceable. You are really, really, ******

It doesn't matter if the father is the guy standing in front of the fighter between rounds or not. The father can be ring side and still give instructions between rounds. And you say they could fine him after the fight for doing so. Which is ****** because nothing in the rule (which was not even published yet) states that the father cannot talk between rounds to his son.

******.

This is the dumbest shit that I have ever read.

[bigjavi973]

no it wont

"Fathers will still be permitted to train their sons for WBC-regulated contests, and allowed in the corner, but not as the chief cornerman and decision-maker."

as if theyre gonna say hey you cant say those words to him, during breaks

Thats the whole point. Angel Garcia, as crazy as he is, knows how to adjust extremely well and knows exactly what to tell DSG.

Its a ****** ruling and if I was DSG I would just vacate the title.
