Just like Manny isn't that good without his PEDs.



"First I would like to say that my deputy commissioner and my commissioner did a diligent job that night. The rules are clear and fair. Mr.Trinidad did not violate the rules, that's why there was no suspension. Extra tape and gauze can be applied if the trainers agree and the commission approves, grounds for that will be protection only cause of injury. Under no circumstances can there be double layers of tape,which in this case there was none. The New York State bylaws say you cannot have tape on skin so the commission made them rewrap because of that fact alone." (NY State Athletic Commission Chair Melvina Lathan)





One of several quotes from authorities on the subject.
Of course, they may as well be written in Swahili as far as you're concerned, because it doesn't fit your crybaby agenda.

How sad it is to know that a fighter you hate so much is an ATG and HOF'er.
Must stick in your craw, huh?
So his hands were taped and the wraps were applied in a way that did not comply with the rules?

The rules weren't violated because Hopkins corner member saw the violation while they were applying the wraps and the commission ruled on it and made Papa Trinidad re-wrap the hands.
Rocco, take your A.D.D. meds n try n focus. Topic is Floyd doing more vs Manny two weeks ago, not the legalities of Titos hand wraps in New York back in 2001. Try and stay on topic.
