Will the Boxing Commission make Broner shave his beard?

[Mooshashi]

Recent photos of Broner show his beard to be very thick and long. A punch to his jaw would be cushioned by that thing!

Why do commissions allow boxers to have thick beards, hell ANY beard? Got to be an advantage for the guy with the beard.

Make Manny shave too.

YT finna take away a black man's beard in 2019 smh...

[_Rexy_]

yes. he's clean shaven for all of his fights. he knows the rules.


EDIT - just realized your post was sarcastic, but beards ARE against the rules. Not because they are cushioning though.

No, I'm serious. Broner may as well be wearing headgear.

No, I was actually being serious.


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.

No, why would he be? The science shows that 2 netrons of hair (or 4mm in commonspeak) is enough to absorb 12 zyklons of energy - almost equivalent to 1 pound in force / pure kenetic energy. 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.

That's what I'm talking about Shontae. It's scientifically proven.

Using Bas Ruten's comments as scientific evidence. Right.
