does trinidad cheat?

[blackbelt2003]

Sounds like a whole bunch of sour g****s to me.


I reckon it's just because Tito is one of the biggest punchers of our generation.

correct, just as a new study found out that hitting with boxing gloves has a greater chance to casue brain damage than without gloves

really? what study was this

[blackbelt2003]

I guess it's because the head will take a steadier pounding over a sustained period.

Bare knuckle would mean an instant KO, so less punishment.

That has to be the most ignorant thing I have ever heard anyone say. A bowling ball probably ways 50X more than hand wraps. Changing the way someone wraps there hands is not gonna add an extra 10 pounds to thier hands.

okay, maybe the bowling ball is an extreme analogy. let me use another one. if you hit someone with your bare fist versus if you hit someone with a cast on, which would cause more damage? obviously the cast! that's the same principle as the bowling ball glove example

why does bare knuckle lead to an instant KO versus gloved? gloved can cause an instant KO too. and gloved allows you to punch harder cuz your hands don't hurt as much when you hit the other guy (or girl)

[blackbelt2003]

Yeah, but bare knuckle would GENERALLY allow for shorter bouts. Although you can get KO's with gloves on, I'd imagine there's more chance with bare knuckles...and the shorter fights are the less chance there is of damage to the brain.

Just my opinion anyway, I'm no medical expert!

I really don't see how anyone can say Trinidad cheats. That's just rediculous in my opinion.

You can't fight bare knuckles due to the fact that the skin around your knuckles will explode after a few punches thrown and landed.

[jujuman]

if it is a known fact that the manner in which you wrap aboxers hands add to the punching power then is it legal? If it is why isnt everybody else doing it. if it isnt legal why do they let him do it?
