    what was the story behind tito's supposed ilegal hand wrapping is there any truth to it or is it just speculation?

    im a big trinidad and belive his power was legit but are there any facts to say otherwise?

    To this date I still can't find a single person that can tell me specifically which rule it was that Tito broke and where I can find it. Did he use more gauze than is allowed? Did he wrap in a manner that is not allowed? If so where can I find the rule that specifically prohibits whatever it is that he was doing? This was probably my first thread I ever started at ESB. It got about 30 pages of replies about how Tito was a dirty cheater and not one gave me the specifics I asked for.

    Utter bull****! It was a ploy by Hopkins to get in Tito's head nothing more. Do you honestly believe he got away with illegal handwraps for all 40 fights prior to Hopkins like there was some kind of conspiracy? His power was certainly legit.

    Not contradicting you here as I also think that it's bull**** but if there was nothing wrong with the wrap why do you suppose that he was forced to re-do it?
