Why is Canelo allowed to use a beard on fight night?

[Jewish-Reptile]

A beard is not a cushion lol wtf. His isn’t even that big. It’s basically stubble if you think a little facial hair will reduce punch strength you’re a moron

Lmfao, I thought he was joking when I read it. Damn this is going in my signature.

[Derranged]

I don't know if his beard is thick enough for the rules to apply.

[Cheek busting]

Beard seems like it would be bad because increased friction when glove makes contact.

You'd want punch to slide off that's why u grease ur face up.

You got some pictures of this beard ? you can differentiate between stubble and a beard can you not ?

A beard cant stop a punch man, they dont allow big beards so they dont get in the other fighters faces

Why you gotta come in here making sense ? We were having fun and a laugh until you came along.

Why am I surrounded by this horrible ****** people?

Vaseline and why it's use must be limited according to rules:

Purpose

Having several dabs of Vaseline or another type of petroleum jelly on your face during a boxing match might not do wonders for your appearance, but it can boost your longevity in the ring by protecting your face. When you have a dry face and are hit with a punch, your opponent's leather gloves can leave a burning feeling on your skin. With Vaseline on your face, however, the punch is more likely to slide off your face, prevent burns and limit the chances of sustaining a cut.

Same happens with a beard and even more if it's sweaty.

Fools.

beards dont cushion

Canelo with the chuck norris beard.

I read here that many states prohibit it since it can cushion punches or reduce the strength of the punch by ejecting the punch away from the face.

Will he be using that **** again?

He brings big money to Las Vegas when he fights there so maybe the LVAC aren't that strict on him. Terrible referee Weeks will be the ref in spite of objections from GGG's side. I think GGG will punch that red beard hard enough to get the KO win.

I think this is true. I don't believe a beard can slow down a punch or soften it's impact even a little bit.
