So I find it hard to believe that information is from a reliable source

Oh and the Vargas part...yeah Vargas sure was a credible source. I mean he wanted a rematch after the fight,despite being annihilated.

And the worst point....Tito hit Hopkins with the same punch as he hit Vargas bur Hopkins wasn't hurt....My god,they are known as VARIABLES!!!NO 2 FIGHTERS ARE GOING TO REACT 100% SIMILAR TO THE SAME PUNCH!!! Jeeeeeeeeez!!

So yeah,that#s total BS in my opinion. I'll dissect it further if you want me to.
Hopkins needed to do whatever he could to win his fight against Tito? Dude, Hopkins could have walked into the ring with an STD and he still would have schooled Trinidad. Hopkins didn't NEED to do anything other than show up. And to answer the original poster's question, yes, the accusation is true. Otherwise, the NY athletic commission would not have forced Trinidad to rewrap after Hopkins camp issued the complaint.
Hit the nail on the head.
