    False. Why was Margarito suspended then? He rewrapped his hands. Tito simply used a gauze, tape method used by many and legal everywhere. Oscar and Canelo also made to re-wrap in NJ/NY with it but they actually applied tape to their knuckles which is illegal everywhere. The tape, gauze “stack” method is normal and is commonly used. Chavez, Mayweather, Pacquaio among other confirmed to use it. I’m intrigued to see how it’s “loading” one’s gloves.

    A handwrap is to protect a hand and nothing more, nothing less. Only way of really “cheating” is to do what Margarito did in using old gauze because it’s already hardened or to take out padding of the glove. Using tape and gauze no matter how simply isn’t going to make a difference or “load” a wrap.
