Tito's ALLEGED(Not Proven) Illegal Handwraps

[Mr. Violence]

I started this thread so both Tito fans and Tito non-fans can both discuss this ALLEGED(alleged-meaining it is not proven) illegal handwraps of Tito,,,and so we can find the truth. I am NOT taking sides on this, only my opinion because nothing is proven. Ok we first heard about Tito ALLEGED illegal handwraps right before he was preparing to fight Hopkins. Hopkins camp claimed that Tito was wrapping his hands wrong in order to get a punching power advantage. So they made Tito re wrap his hands. After that fight a couple of fighters namely: Vargas and Joppy claimed that when they were hit by Tito it felt un natural for a Middleweight to have that power unless helped by the handwraps. Vargas in particular said "It felt like Tyson hit me". Now I myself had done some boxing as a hobby. But I was never a pro or knew the ins and outs of handwrapping. So I can't make a judgement, only opinion. So I want to hear your opinion. Was Hopkins just playing mind games on Tito-and is Vargas and Joppy making excuses for losing......or did Tito really have illegal wraps to increase power. Your thoughts please.




P.S- In my humble opinion I think it was just Hopkins playing mindgames with Tito.

I only brought up this issue again because of what Joppy and Vargas have been saying.

I can't believe how often this gets discussed.

Doesn't there have to be a high-standing person in the state athletic commission watching Tito get his hand wrapped.

I find it hard to believe that he could get his hands wrapped in such a way that he would have an advantage without anybody else knowing.

It is like that time on CSI that the boxer had mercury put in his gloves to make his hands heavier and then he knocked out his opponent and killed him.

Pretty far fetched.

I don't know. Either way, Tito can still crack, but to what level. If Hopkins people say he was taping across the knuckles, and the commision agreed, then that amy be something ponder. It seems funny that none of Tito's punches seemed to affect Hopkins at all and Joppy went down like a ton of bricks. Immeadiatly after the Tito fight, Joppy stated he had never been hit that hard in all his boxing career. That was well before the whole wrapping scandal came about. But I don't know for sure and I'm not sure we will ever know.

The commision would'nt have made him rewrap his hands if nothing was wrong simple as that.

Although I think it's all bull****, let's think for a moment that his hand wraps were illegal on September 29, 2001. Does that mean that his handwraps were illegal from his debut in 1990 to May, 2001 when he faced Joppy? No ****ing way. The NSAC and NYAC are not going to allow anything illegal, so quit believing all the **** that Vargas and Joppy say to make Trinidad look like a cheater.
