KIZER CLARIFIES RULES ON HAND WRAPPING

The executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Keith Kizer, has clarified the rules governing the wrapping of hands following the concerns raised by Manny Pacquiao?s trainer Freddie Roach over the excessive bandages on the hands of Marco Antonio Barrera which he suggested gave him an advantage.
Even before their first clash in November 2005, Roach claimed that Barrera?s handlers were putting plaster-of-paris substance on his hand wraps which hardened when wet giving his punches more power.
Although Pacquiao says it doesn?t bother him the way Barrera wraps his hands, Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today checked with Kizer on the rules. The executive director cited the specific provision which states that bandages on the hand of a boxer ?may not exceed one winding of surgeon?s adhesive tape, not over 1? 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.?
The boxers shall use ?soft surgical bandage not over two inches wide, held in place by not more than six feet of surgeon?s adhesive tape for each hand. Up to one 15-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.?
The rule also states that the bandages ?must be adjusted in the dressing room in the presence of a representative of the commission and both boxers? although any of the two boxers may ?waive the privilege of witnessing the bandaging of his opponent?s hand.?
