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

[Larry the boss]

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.

it can't... beards can cause cuts or get in the others fighters eyes tho

[bigfo0t]

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

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

Purpose



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

Fools.

Seriously, most of you guys should know this, but yea.. agendas and all.. bleh.

A freshly shaved face provides a much better contact surface [even when greased up] if you catch em just right. A beard on the other hand.. dry, sweaty, greasy, etc. will definitely help slip/slide punches. This is common sense. Damn.

[SAINTSTEVE]

And also because Golovkin didn't request that it be trimmed. It is my understanding that it is dependent upon the opponent to request it be trimmed. Roy Jones showed up once with a fluffy beard and his opponent requested he trim it down to a short goatee which is apparently OK.

Whatever the case, Canelo has nothing on the beard Lamont Peterson rocks.

[GGG Gloveking]

He rocks a beard to remind us of his "duck" dynasty days

[Boksfan]

The same reason why he never used PED tests in pre Golovkin fights, because his promoter is corrupted and pays bribery money to WBC crooked Suleiman.

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

Tell that to the swimmers, "if they think a little stubble will slow them down".. Cmon man, dont call people a moron when you sound like you dont know certain rules.

[bboy80]

The reason why beards were* not allowed is due to cuts.
