What about his mysterious retirement after the Hopkins fight. Maybe papa Trinidad was traumatized after watching his son take a beating that he told him to retire. The whole father son relationship seems mentaly unhealthy to me. Tito should have let his father go 8 years ago like so many other fighters did.
The whole controversy with the gloves before the Jones fight was created by Tito's immature father and probably distracted him. Lampley even say that Roy went to see Tito in his hotel room. Seems so immature and unprofessional to me and it's not the first time that ''Papa Tito'' has complained and made a scene before the fight. When Lampley asked him what he intended for the future Tito said that he had to check with his father.
