  • Since Trinidad was caught CHEATING against Hopkins....

    Without the the illegal Wrapping in his left hand(which was his best punch:left hook), How good would he be without his loaded left hook?

    we saw how bad he looked against OLD Hopkins after they caught Trinidad cheating with his wraps.

    Personally i think without the wraps he would get KO'd By ODH and Vargas, he literally was nothing withou his cheating wraps, like he did against Hopkins.

    Bofore the Trinidad FIght, Fernando Varga's team was also warned about Trinidad illegal wraps.


    Here's an interview

    Interviewer:"I talked to William Joppy before his last fight and he brought up an issue that Trinidad's people wrapped Tito's hand illegally and that is why he lost. He said that your people caught Trinidad illegally wrapping his hands. Can you tell us what happened?

    Bouie Fisher: I tell you, Ike. They have been getting away with that for a long time. I sent my people to Trinidad's locker room to make sure everything was right. When they got there they came back to me and told me that Trinidad's left hand was wrapped before they got there. So, I had to go over to his dressing room myself, this is my business and I have been doing it for over 50 years. When I got there I told them to unwrap the hand and do it over because we need to see the hand being wrapped. They refused to unwrap the hands so I told them I guess the fight will not happen then, we can reschedule to another date. The officials came in and said we don't have time to do this over. I told them, well we must do this right or no fight. They know the rules, no tape on the skin or tape on the ankle. His left hand was heavy just like your camera. Guess what, the officials then said you can go and wrap Bernard hands anyway you want. Trinidad's father and his people didn't want to make the change because they knew they cheated and they tried to cover it up by asking me to wrap Bernard's hands anyway we wish. I wasn't going for that, we have to do this right, they raised hell like you couldn't believe. I said you can do it your way, but there will be no fight if you don't do it right. They said we are going to leave it as it is, so I told them we can reschedule the fight untill next week. They didn't want to do that. This is why we had a delay coming out. When they saw Bernard they tried to ask us to take off just a little tape, but they had a half roll of tape on Trinidad's left hand. This is why people say he has a good left hook. David Reid paid a big price, Trinidad took away the fighter in him. David Reids people were trying to schedule a fight with Bernard and it could have happened if Reid would have won his last fight. I'm glad it never happened."



    What a SCumbag, and they knew what they were "doing" all this time.

      I think Hopkins would have outboxed him even with illegal wrapped hands....

      Honestly i dont put too much into trinidad and the wraps..... It was just a technicality that hopkins camp called him on it,,,
      Trinidad did the same thing in all his fights, yet oscar, vargas, joppy, none of these teams spotted anything wrong,,, They all watched him get his hands wrapped and nobody ever complained,,,
      Hopkins was the only one... It was probably just a hopkins mind game with tito...

      People say tito went 2-3 after the wraps but look at the competition

      ko wins over cherifi and mayorga

      losses to hopkins, winky, roy jones at 170-- those are legit guys to lose to...

      And he totally blazed mayorga and ruined him.....

      I think the tito thing has been overblown...

      Just my opinion

        After getting busted for that, Tito is 2-2 without special hand wraps.




        Just to use the same logic that Tony haters use. It has nothing to do with him being at the end of his career that was over a decade, just his hands.

            yeah but look at the compettion

            ko'd cherifi
            ko'd mayorga
            outboxed by winky
            outboxed by much larger roy....

            I think his 2-2 record doesnt mean anything,, its not like he was losing to robert allen or going the distance in wins,,, He was still smashing fools, its just that winky and roy have the style to beat him, and roy was much bigger,,,
            Nobody stops winky, so its no surprise that tito didnt,, neither did hopkins, shane, vargas, taylor, williams, quillen, etc

              I don't understand how this became such a troll story with Trinidad just because he had to rewrap his hands, something that happens all the time in the dressing rooms preceding fights

                Can you imagine the beating that a prime Trinidad would have laid on Margarito? Walking in face first against the threshing machine that was Tito would have been suicide.

                  Yes i agree,,,
                  Didnt every fighter get to inspect his wrapping before the bouts,, its standard procedure,,,
                  Im pretty sure oscar had them watching when tito wrapped his hands,,,
                  Hopkins is the only one to call him out,,

                  Bouie's story does make it sound really shady, but who knows if he even said it, or it really went down like that..
                  Like i always say dont let facts get into the way of a good story

                    I know people that said Aliens exist too. I have even seen interviews. Point being is it was talked about during the B-Hop fight and was dealt with before he went in the ring... Which means he was never busted for cheating. You guys can say "but when he got caught he lost to B-Hop, Winky, and RJJ" but these guys were way bigger then he was. Trinidad's prime was 147-154. These guys are now Light-Heavyweights...
