Tito Trinidad and the myth of the 'illegal handwrapping'

His hands were wrapped illegally. Fact.

 

Total B.S. Hopkins always does these mental games and the other guy who complained William Joppy was KTFO by Tito so he should just shut up.

 

Its all BS

 

Fact? According to you? Please elaborate......:huh

 

they were probably not wrapped exactly accoring to the rules, but his power came from his perfect tecnique, incorrectly wrapped hands could enhance someones power but you still have to have natural punching power to KO people like Tito did, period

 

Yup and his commitment to each punch. :good

 

bull****

 

According to the officials who made Trinidad sr remove the wraps & do them correctly.

 

Yezzir

 

WRONG!!!! You moron the reason they made Trinidad re-wrap the hands again was because the Hopkins camp claimed nobody from their camp was present when Trinidad Sr. started wrapping Tito's hands...Hopkins and his camp stated that if they didnt re-wrap his hands again the fight was off, what kind of ***** move was that......


By the way Ive always asked this question, if Fisher was such of all of fame trainer how come he is not training anyone these days? I mean you would think that the likes of Pac, DeLaHoya, and even PBF would be knocking down his door asking him to train them right? Hopkins camp's only good thing for the Tito fight was their mental warfare thats what won him the fight......

 

i know bernard and it was bull**** thats how he is he did to make tito less confident in his power and it worked bernard is a master of getting in peoples head

 

OK.So if Mallignaggi will wrap his hands that certain way he will Ko Cotto and Hatton in a rematch, because wrapping your hands give you power, and that's why Tito lost to Hopkins. BS

 

What happend that night when he fought Hopkins is that Tito had tape dirrectly on the skin, and in NY that is against the rules, so they made him rewrap them.

However NY has never really enforced that rule because Vegas and many other states allow it anyways, it was a minor technality that Hopkins used to get into the mind set of Tito Trinidad, though I dont think Hopkins needed that looking how the fight turned out.

 

No, RIGHT!!!...you ****ing twat. Funny how you only tell part of the story.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]"The story goes that representatives of Bernard Hopkins camp went to see Trinidad getting his hands wrapped for the fight, which is customary in boxing, and upon arriving and seeing the wraps on Trinidad’s hands, specifically the left hand Team Hopkins contested the wraps and even threatened to cancel the bout, believing the wraps were incorrect. It took the Chief Inspector of the NYSAC to force Trinidad’s hands be re-wrapped the correct way, and even then, it didn’t take until the third try to get the wraps correctly done. "
