If true, it would be hard to believe it was the first time they attempted it, and i wonder just how common it is? Considering the trainer of one of the best fighters in the world didn't see anything wrong.
He spotted something illegal in the wraps, doesn't necessarily mean it was something specifically for hardening. They wrap the hands in front of a commissioner and an opponents guy, plus they're not trying to hide the wraps after the fight. Nothing came about of Nazim'z allegation against Tito, perhaps not again. Maybe it's a ploy to unsettle the fighter.
That's what i initially thought (i didn't hear the HBO commentary) and what i was trying to get at about Nazim Richardson's eye. Is it really just a coincidence it's the same trainer that complained about the Tito hand-wraps?
