    :nonoLook it up before you run off at the mouth:nono

    Tito was ordered to rewrap his hands before the Fight with HOPKINS.
    Bouie Fisher ordered him to do it. When they opened everything up, they head commision made him do it legally.

    Most of trinidad's supporter's hereare puerto rican. It is hard for them to admit that an icon like Trinidad cheated, which is understandable.

    Notice how the same people who decline that tito used illegal handwraps are the same ones who are jumping on Margo...The reason being is because there fellow country men lost to Margo, so this is there way of getting vindication for the loss.


    So do not take them too serious.

I'm giving out some secrets here, but you can dip your hands in ice water and that tape will, like, marinate and become harder. But it's only cheating if you get caught. Personally, I think Vargas' and Reid's people dropped the ball. Naazim did a brilliant job in spotting what [Felix Trinidad Sr.] was doing with the wraps."
