Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Canelo Must Follow Nevada's Hand-Wrapping Restrictions

[HanzGruber]

People are complaining about a coach/trainer doing this...what TRAINERS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO?!? Isn't this supposed to be the standard? Didn't this site praise brother Naz for doing this same exact thing time and time again?

Except naz was right. The commission already told abel shut up he doesn’t know Nevada rules

I am abel Sanchez. Its simple folks this is all pre-fight Mind games & promotion tom Loeffler pays me to do this all.

[QUOTE=Bronx23;19092439]i cant stand Sanchez but I'll actually side with him on this. I saw the video of him pleading his case in the dressing room and the inspector was being a complete prick & didnt bother in trying to hear him out. Whole thing just seemed unprofessional.

I know athletes in every sport get special treatment (the Bradys, the Lebrons, The Jordans, etc.) but boxing is different. This a life threatening sport so when it comes to Gloves, PEDS, handwraps, padding, etc there should be no exceptions no special treatment for ANYBODY[/QUOTE

Plain and simple, Abel didn't know the rules when it came to wrapping a fighters hands in Nevada. Has he even had a fighter fight in Nevada before? Robert Garcia, has said himself, he will wrap his fighters hands a certain way based on what the state commissions allows. He isn't going to wrap a fighters hands by California rules if they're fighting in Nevada and vice versa. Garcia is aware that every state is different and knows the rules, Abel doesn't. If he choose to wrap GGGs hands as he always does, that's on them not Canelo.

Exactly! Abel had no clue, probably hadn't had a fighter fight there in a long time. That falls on Abel not knowing the rules. Robert Garcia has said many times that he wraps his fighters hands according to what rules allow per state. For example, He will never wrap a fighters hands by California commission rules if they are fighting in Nevada, and vice versa.

Leave it to crooked ass Nevada to allow a wrapping technique that is outlawed everywhere else.

Sanchez is scared

[The plunger man]

60ft seems an awful lot of tape to wrap your hands.....no wonder why his wraps looked so big

Sanchez is scared

Could just be trying to look out for his fighter,just like any trainer would. It's not like they have a lot riding on this fight or anything.
