Was Tito wrapping illegal outside of New York? Is really that simple....

There is a lot to the Tito wraps story and it isn't very clear what exactly happened. Tito's wraps were illegal because Felix Sr. applied tape to his knuckles and layered tape and gauze while he wrapped his knuckles; both are illegal in NYSAC rules.
Now alone the advantages of simply adding more tape aren't substantial enough to make a fighters hand turn into a brick but when you dip the tape in ice water the tape will seize and harden. If you have layers of tape and tape on your knuckles when you dip your hand into the ice water the tape will seize up and harden making your wraps harder.
Now there is no question as to whether Tito's wraps had tape on the knuckles and layers of tape, Tito Sr. admits that’s how he wrapped his son’s hands because he believes it provides more protection. The mystery is whether he dipped his hands into ice water to stiffen the tape.
Now again we don’t know much other than Tito’s hands were wrapped with layers of tape which is illegal under NYSAC rules, so it’s very tough to draw a conclusion.Comment

while i think trinidad is both overrated and a cheater , i disagree with some of your reasoning .
trinidad had many more important and more convincing wins than delahoya and whitaker , whom , you forgot to sate was also far beyond his best weight and by far.
and the jones' loss does not count too much , as jones is naturally so much more muscular , and trinidad also came of a not so short layoff to fight jones.
it was really not a prime trinidad.
and always remember the dirtiest fighter ever is bernard hopkins himslef.
the man who implements Professional Wrestling in boxing to the greatest hights of ugliness.Comment
