That's quite significant when you factor in AB's beard is much thicker than that. By my estimation his beard would in effect NEGATE 50-60 zyklons of energy.

    That could be the difference between getting KOd out cold stiff or surviving to fight another round. This would be pure corruption to let him fight like that and yet another AA getting away with murder. Disgrace.

              IDK about rules but I've seen lots of beards in the ring....Duran for one but that was way back. A Sikh was allowed to wear a towel on his head because his hair was way long due to religious reasons.
              yeah, it's against the rules. Has been since the marques of queensbury rules were set. Not due to cushion though, that's a common myth. Number of reasons, mostly being the judges and referee need to see the jaw lines of the fighters to determine if a punch lands. Also, if your fighter got cut, a beard made it harder to repair, got sweat in there, etc. etc. goatees have been allowed by some commissions, all of them employ the "yankee rule" though (you're allowed a mustache"

              I have noticed an influx of guys with star power getting away with it, and usually myself and a couple guys will mention it in the fight threads. You'll notice Fury has been forced to shave his beard before a number of fights. Broner also, who always sports a beard is always babyfaced in his matches also.


              Also, I've never heard of the Sikh guy. I know there have been some ****** and Sikh fighters recently who have said they should be allowed beards for religious purposes, but the commissions have always stood firm and said "no" and then pointed at other ****** fighters who never wore beards (Naseem Hamed, Muhammad Ali, Etc.)

                I'd be surprised if they didn't make him trim it. If I was Pac's team I'd demand it for sure. It's definitely in the territory of providing an advantage

                  Yeah I mentioned Duran had a mean beard but he was a star. Fury definitely had to shave. You make good points about cuts....Broner's beard is so long it could poke your eye out.

                    and I 100% guarantee that he will be sporting his chubby babyface the night of the fight. He'll start trying to hide it again with his beard the next day haha

                    even Canelo didn't get away with having a beard until the GGG rematch IIRC

                      Broner is trying to cheat with that beard. disgusting

                      as if blacks didn't have enough advantages in boxing as it is, fast twitch muscles and asbestos skin that cant get cut and all that
