Edit: i found the quote.

I'm giving out some secrets here, but you can dip your hands in ice water and that tape will, like, marinate and become harder. But it's only cheating if you get caught. Personally, I think Vargas' and Reid's people dropped the ball. Naazim did a brilliant job in spotting what [Felix Trinidad Sr.] was doing with the wraps." Don Felix was also putting tape on the skin and over the knuckles, both of which are not in accordance with NYSAC rules. New York's head commissioner put his foot down and made Don Felix wrap in strict accordance to the rules.Last edited by -Johannes-; 08-20-2012, 05:15 PM.Comment

Panama's removing the knuckle padding from Resto's gloves that inflicted damage to Collings face. He should have been in jail for it for a long time! Now he's been again active and the people who associate with him should be ashamed of themselves. Taking advantage of situations that don't lead to the brutality of a fighter is one thing but when you purposely take part in a crime to hurt a fighter your not only a punk your a coward too!!
I've heard this low life has been employed by Judah's people to prep Zab for the Khan fight, thats pretty damn sad on Judahs account!
I met Lewis at the old Totawa Ice rink that ESPN first used for their live boxing shows and didn't care for the guy very much then. I saw an interview with him recently and he still has the Mr. T gold chain thing going, a real taker not a giver!! Still denies today he altered the gloves, liar!!! RayComment

I'm not sure, but I always associated them with increasing strength and endurance. The reason I asked whether one type of cheating is considered worse was because of this. I think we shouldn't take any form of cheating lightly, since most increase the chance of an opponent getting seriously hurt. Especially, in boxing. They make a huge deal in other sports when their athletes get caught juicing.Comment

There's so many ways of cheating, some just use dirty tatics, others use things like doping and other things to give them an unfair advantage.
I see the same things in other sports and it ruins them.Comment
