Why did Mayorga let Trinidad get free hits in the 1st round?

He was never the same after that Trinidad exchange. It could of been a better fight, felt Mayorga would of took advantage of Trinidad's inactivity and make it into a better fight.

Notice after that exchange, Mayorga was sluggish and looked drunk. He took a HELLISH beating during that fight. Tito's power is just scary, truly an ATG puncher.

 

Tell me more about these loaded gloves.

He wrapped his hands differently than what was allowed in NYC at the time when fighting Hopkins. ANYWHERE in the world it would of been legal, just not in NYC. Richardson noticed this, and Trinidad was simply asked to re-wrap his hand, that's the end of it. Why this is taken out of proportion by weirdos like you still boggles my mind. Pacquaio and Oscar De La Hoya wrapped their hands differently as well, were caught, and asked to re-wrap their gloves, no controversy involved.

3 years after the Hopkins fight, and Tito fights Mayorga. The first shot Trinidad lands has Mayorga drunk, and we're talking about a prime Mayorga too, who had the best chin in the business, was never hurt or appeared to be hurt. The SAME punches that Forrest rocked iron chinned Mosley with had no effect on Mayorga.

 

He was fine going into the fight. He should of entered the fight as the undisputed welterweight champion of the world, the Spinks fight was a robbery of epic proportions. Mayorga was a HUGE weight cutter, so making 160 did more good than bad.

The reason why he wasn't fast or crisp with his punches is due to being sluggish after a chunky Trinidad left hook in the first round. This was a man who was never hurt, supremely confident and had great punching power of his own.

 

Was definitely a farce, don't see how anyone could give Spinks that fight. Mayorga was the true undisputed 147 pound champ.
