John Wirt writes letter to Combat Sports Indutry in Sydney

He wrote a letter requesting them to DQ Green.

Part of the letter:

"The wraps "contain an adhesive (polyamide substrate with latex coating) that allows the wrapping to be stretched and secured tightly with a hardening effect (similar to an ACE bandage) in a way that is substantially different from the effect obtained by using traditional soft surgical-type gauze bandages."

A copy of the letter, dated Tuesday, was sent to The Times by Jones' marketing agent, Mercedes Ganon.


Wirt noted that objections to Green's wraps were denied on fight night, and that Jones was told to fight or be disqualified. Green proceeded to stun Jones and then called out the man Jones was supposed to fight next, Bernard Hopkins, in a long-awaited rematch that has since been canceled.



Wirt argued that his company's subsequent inspection of the tape used to secure the bandages showed it was twice the width allowed, and he added that he will take his complaint with the evidence and a photo of Green and the tape to International Boxing Organization President Ed Levine to seek an investigative hearing.
Wirt said a review "leads us to only one conclusion: not only was Mr. Green's hand wrapping clearly in violation of the New South Wales boxing regulations on numerous counts as described ... but also the combination of those violations resulted in a very dangerous weapon ... all boxing hand wrapping regulations are designed to prohibit." Wirt requested an independent probe and hearing in an effort to disqualify Green.

Whats going to come of this? Anything? Phil help us out?

 

Found it on the scene of boxing...

You guys would have seen the shots of Danny in his dressing room before the fight. There was what looked to be white gauze along with the brownish tape on his hands. Its the same kind of brown tape that he wraps the laces of his gloves with on the outside. I have only ever seen Aussie fighters wrap their hands this way. Every other country just seems to have white all over their hands.

Anyone shed some light on this brown tape?

I want an answer to my question. Look at that second pic. I have only every seen tape like that used on Aussie fighters. I want to know what it is and if its legal. And why only Aussie fighters? I mean that **** on Dannys hands is the same **** on his gloves look at the pics.

Those should work. As i said look at the tape to tape the gloves and the tape of his hands. The same ? And is there anything even wrong with that brown tape on your hands? As mentioned i have only ever seen Aussie fighters use that tape on their hands.

 

I know you cant say much but could you confirm if there is even a slight or remote chance the fight gets overturned as in turned into a NC or a rematch be ordered? Or in your opinion is Jones clutching at straws.
