    Bogus mental warfare by Hopkins, nothing more

    That is exactly what it was. They wanted to irritate Trinidad any little thing to gain an edge. Interesting that Shane Mosley's team hurled the same exact accusations against Oscar DelaHoya but nobody remembers Oscar's team refused to rewrap.

    Trinidad's hands were wrapped a certain way that was legal in most places but illegal in New York so Nazim Richardson raised an objection purely to p1ss the Trinidad camp off. There wasn't any evidence of loaded gloves and brother Nazim readily admits that.

    The likes of Joppy and Vargas have made noises that they were cheated against Tito because of what happened subsequently prior to the Hopkins fight but it's based on a fallacy. They had their arses beaten fair and square (although Tito did punish Vargas to the nuts).
