i was just listening to vargas talk about his fight with trinidad and he was talking about his wraps, and his power being not human, i wanna know does it bother anyone, does his victories carry less weight? tell me watchu think..
Yeh but how sure are people that Trinidads power came from loaded gloves?
It was rumors. He was never caught. I heard the trick was they used lots of tape and gauze, then wet the hell out of the gloves to make them heavier. He was not using any plaster like some other fools, but if what he was doing is true, it was wrong. I hate cheaters.
I mean he was told to redo his wraps in the Hopkins fight but nothing else.
I heard this some where around that time but havent heard it since. Did he also dip his hands into water after he was wrapped up? making it harder? I cant remember if that was true
Yea and he also dipped them in gasoline, lit them on fire and gave a third degree burn to most of his opponents
doesn't bother me much because I don't think he was intentionally trying to cheat. I think it is borderline illegal, or illegal, but it's not like plaster or something like that it's just extra tape. That's just how his trainer did his hands.
Now if I was his opponent's trainer like Nazim, damn right I'd make him re-wrap his hands.
I don't know anymore, no one else complained about how solid Margarito's punches were, untill he was caught. Whitaker said Tito's punches didn't feel right, said he felt he was being hit with a rock, Joppy said the same, Vargas said the same, Richardson also said the same.
the thing with the wraps was with the way they put it on the hand. no extra tape or gauze or even a block gauze. after the re-wrap it was all good
the only cheater these days is margarito with a block gauze PLUS plaster substance
I heard this some where around that time but havent heard it since. Did he also dip his hands into water after he was wrapped up? making it harder? I cant remember if that was true
Anyone got a pic of these supposed wraps? Everyone talks about it but I learned about this far after Tito's downfall. Anyone got a link or somethin to fill someone in?
