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

[markther]

You have to love all of this back and forth stuff. It just makes this fight must watch on Saturday. Not sure if I will purchase it or do the movie theater. I did the theater with Mayweather vs Cotto and they served drinks and food. I don’t remember a fight other than Duran and Leonard where (2) fighters really had “beef” with each other. No pun intended.

That's a massive difference in tape being used, it's easy see why he complained and rightly so, but it won't matter because ggg's whoopin canelo

[Diego Rodriguez]

Yeah, the great commission who 10 minutes to figure out if Rigo landed a punch after the bell, and who hires excellent judges such as Adelaide Byrd.

Viva la commission!

Sounds like Sanchez is handling this the right way. He acknowledge Nevada allows a degree of stacking. He wants to follow the rules and address it now instead of fight now which is a disruption for everyone. This is the right way to do things.

Margarito should be in the dressing room to supervise when they're wrapping Canelo's hands.

[Travycat]

Ok I get that, if it's 12 feet and 50 or 60 is being used, that's a valid complaint. He gets this one.

We could always just let Margarito wrap both of their hands so everyone's on the same page.

Canelo and his special gloves...suspect wraps.lol This dude might get walked down...he won’t fight Mexican style either.

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

Clearly he does and i'm sure after that he went back and did his studying on the subject if he's mentioning bylaws...but ok Bufford...I saw your post earlier, its an irrelevant topic to you.

he knows the rules better than the commission? robert garcia has already said he does it to only in lv cause its allowed

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

Why is it an issue now that Canelo is doing it? I know for a fact that Tito Trinidad was doing it, James Toney always did it, and many other boxers done it. Nobody ever said anything when they fought in Las Vegas, but the hate for Canelo is so great that now it has become an issue. If unable is not willing to do the same with Golovkin, that's not Canelo's problem. He is following the NEAC rules.

His bigger complaint is also the amount of tape being used. (2 rolls of 30 feet, totalling 60, instead of the allowed 24) If that's the case then I hope the rules are clear for Saturday and we will have none of that fuckery repeat itself.
