    Interesting situation in the Trinidad - Hopkins fight

    I have just found this in youtube maybe it was discuss already but it is new to me. I'm not saying this is a determine factor on why Tito loose that fight but it definitely helped. Plus they guy talked about Tito's HANDWRAPS.

    Enjoy and post your opinion

    Is that the Karceno video? If so it's ****. He's opinion is worthless. I don't even care that the video is in favor of Tito. Karceno knows ****.

    Tito lost because he fought a bigger but more importantly a much much better, talented, skillful, smarter fighter. Hopkins would have beaten Tito anytime 10 times out of 10. And, it hurts me saying that but it's the truth.

      Pretty sad when your trainer doesn't know how to wrap your hands!

        How ****in pathetic can people get?

        The whole boxing world thought Trinidad was going to smoke Hopkins. Now since Hopkins school'd him they make up every ****in excuse in the book. Pathetic.

          exactly, trinidad was the HEAVY favorite and he got beaten up and schooled. then they focus on one small aspect a nuance by the way they picked it out and said it was hopkins fouls that won him the fight, blah, blah, baby, blah........


          tito was out gunned, out manned, and out fought in that fight, plain and simple.

          they use excuses like 911 or he was having wife troubles, or the hand wraps........ and who knows what else, the alignment of the moon that night???


          thing is, who knows how legit tito's hand wraps were throughout his whole career, especially since his clear cutting the ranks as he moved up in weight.

          i don't think he was doing anything shady, he could punch like a mule, but when you're dropping 30-45lbs to make weight in some cases, he better be packing a punch.

            Well in my defense I never said that what is says in this video would have change the outcome of the fight. I posted the video here for some of the ignorants saying that Tito should have been banned or something because of the supposedly illegal wraps.

              Funny... BOTH Pacquaio and Margarito had tape directly on the skin when they fought. It's a BS technicality in NYC that Hopkins camp exploited to get into Tito's head. "Oh no! Tape on skin!"

              I don't blame Richardson for trying to make himself seem like a hero, or more vital to Hopkins. "See champ, I got your back.." A bottom feeder looking to make himself an asset to his host. So Naseem played it right in that sense. But he knows that was a BS Sing Sing style hustle for bread.

              Props to Tito for asking for an immediate rematch although Hopkins declined.

                HOP perfected the art of Head butts, elbows, stepping on foots, rabbit punching, shoulder butting etc.
                I never liked him and still hate to see him using every dirty tactic in the book to beat a better fighters.
                The day he retires, boxing will be a cleaner sport.

                  Haha I know huh. Everyone was looking past Hopkins because people wanted Tito to fight Jones Jr in a super fight. I still remember the shock on my most of my friends'/family's faces when Tito went down.

                    With all that head-butting and the fact he was the bigger, stronger guy that night it is embarrassing it took B-Hop 12 rounds to take the One dimensional WW Trinidad out of there.
