Doesn't someone from the opponent's corner get to watch the hand wrapping of the fighter, as well as someone from the state boxing commission?? I believe they do.
And if that's the case, it wouldn't have taken 40 fights for someone to spot an illegal handwrapping. DLH has well-paid professionals in his corner, they would have seen something if it was blatant cheating.
I always thought Hopkins objected to the hand-wrapping as part of a mental game to try to throw Trinidad off. And it worked. Not that it really mattered, Hopkins would have won anyway.
