Comments Thread For: Team GGG File Protest Over Length of Tape Used By Canelo

??? The taping or bandage?? There is already a rule in place for this. He had a problem with stacking I thought??? Now its the amount of tape or bandage he used???

That's right it's the lenght of tape.

He's Golovkin's promoter so we'll see what else gets said on the issue by Nevada, Reynoso. When a promoter's word is the only info you have then wait and see what else comes out. But if the head of a commission really said "yeah we have rules but we'll only enforce them if you protest" then wtf kind of attitude is that.

A lot of people in the thread saying "GGG crying, gotta go with what the commission say". But they were saying the same thing when GGG objected to Canelo making his own gloves. The commission didn't let Canelo get his own way there, so maybe don't rush to use the exact same line so quickly.

Are the rules available online? I searched but no luck. Without being able to read them it's hard to criticise either side.

Google NAC 467.432 or NAC Chapter 467

The rule? Did team Canelo use and extra roll? or more than allowed?? The rule is VERY generous. So I highly doubt he did. He stacked which makes it look like more when its not. To Sanchez this is all NEW to him.

All the crying unable sanchez has done will just make the w that much sweeter. Lol, but and his Donkey fans will have absolutely no excuses, because Sanchez covered them all

now canelo has all of the incentive one could want. He wants to prove Abel and ggg wrong, he wants to prove he's a clean fighter, hes had a year off to allow his cosmetically enhanced knees to heal, he's 28 yrs old fighting a guy in his late 30s. So what will the excuse be from Canelo fans when he loses?? The truth will be revealed when he does which is, he was never all that to begin with. A good fighter with great popularity but nowhere near what his groupies desperately wants him to be.

Every team have to look out for their fighters, and Team GGG are no different. That doesn’t mean anyone is scared.

NAC 467.432  Bandages for hands of unarmed combatant. (NRS 467.030)

1.  Bandages on the hand of an unarmed combatant may not exceed one winding of surgeon’s adhesive tape, not over 2 inches wide, placed directly on the hand to protect the part of the hand near the wrist. The tape may cross the back of the hand twice, but may not extend within three-fourths of an inch of the knuckles when the hand is clenched to make a fist.

2.  Each unarmed combatant shall use soft surgical bandage not over 2 inches wide, held in place by not more than 10 feet of surgeon’s adhesive tape for each hand. Up to one 20-yard roll of bandage may be used to complete the wrappings for each hand. Strips of tape may be used between the fingers to hold down the bandages.

So the issue here is that there are rules, and Canelo's side is unwilling to follow them. There shouldn't need to be a formal protest filed just to get a boxer to follow official rules.
