I believe he would have been within his rights to ask them to re-wrap his hand while he was there - (I could be wrong maybe someone who has a copy of the regs close by could check)

Also surely you would notice that your hand / glove felt different if this was an occasional offence? Otherwise it means they've all been cheating and complicit throughout his career - and I don't accept that.

Time for someone to put up or shut up.
Statutes and Regulations - California State Athletic Commission

It's all legal s**t and can be difficult for the average Joe to find.

§ 323. Bandages.

Bandages shall not exceed the following restrictions:
One winding of surgeon's adhesive tape, not over one and one-half inches wide, placed directly on the hand to protect that part of the hand near the wrist. Said tape may cross the back of the hand twice but shall not extend within one inch of the knuckles when hand is clenched to make a fist. Contestants shall use soft surgical bandage not over two inches wide, held in place by not more than two yards of surgeon's adhesive tape for each hand. One 10-yard roll of bandage shall complete the wrappings for each hand.

Bandages shall be adjusted in the dressing room in the presence of a commission representative and both contestants. Either contestant may waive his privilege of witnessing the bandaging of his opponent's hands.

NOTE: Authority cited: Section 18611, Business and Professions Code. Reference: Sections 18640 and 18714, Business and Professions Code.
HISTORY:

1. Change without regulatory effect of NOTE (Register 87, No. 5)

Technically is says "in the presence of both contestants" but a revision may also be there to say a contestant may be represented. You got to read through the whole thing to find the applicable sections to requesting a rewrap. Gloves start at § 318.
