Trinidad v Wright - who wins?

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 11 May 2005, 07:36

Does Winky use the Oscar blueprint and take Tito back to school, or will the Puerto Rican just hit too hard for the smaller man?

I think I'm going for Tito TKO11 - but I never fail to get Trinidad results wrong.

I think Winky can be hurt especially against a murderous and accurate puncher like Tito and I can see Tito walking through Winkys shots to stop him in 7 with Wright htting the deck a few times in earlier rounds.
Dont care who wins though seen as its live on Sky

Winky isn't elusive enough to beat Tito in my opinion, not unless he changes his game and uses the ring more. Standing in the pocket against Tito isn't going to work, Tito will blast him to pieces.

Tito WTKO9

Winky will get up and fight back if he gets decked, but ultimately Tito's firepower will be too much.

Not to sure about this one, but i'll say its gunna go the distance.

I think Wright has the skills to nullify tito's attacks. But it could turn into a snore fest if he does.

I reckon Winky will do it. Too good a boxer for trinidad and think winky has a good enough chin to stand up to titos shots. Winky on points.

Winky by UD or to be robbed and Tito given a very controversial decision just to try and set up a fight with the winner of Hopkins v Taylor

Wrights shown he can be hurt before, and I think after a good start, Tito's power will start to have an effect on him. Trinidad's power is just too much, and I see him wearing Winky down between rounds 8-10

Interesting comments about the size difference, I think Trinidad is the smaller man. Winky has always been a Light Middle, Tito campaigned for years at Welter.

Tito looks better at Middleweight, he looks too skinny at welter.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 11 May 2005, 10:07

I slightly favour Trinidad, he'll rarely complete a round without catching Winky with something eye-catching, which will impress both the crowd and the judges.

I bloody hope Wright doesn't win, as the likelyhood then will be that we've watched a disappointing fight.

Tito hits like a super middleweight, no matter what size he is.

Yes, and his all action style and his power are why I am seeing him winning the fight. It might actually go the full route but Tito power and all action style will effect Wright's rhythmn and will win him the fight (much like Harry Simon did, and even Moseley did for some portions of the rematch).

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 11 May 2005, 10:24

For all his power Tito has shown himself to be a bit of a misser in big fights. Wright is a smart smart fighter who cannot be written off.

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 11 May 2005, 10:30

Not a fight I'd have picked for Trinidad to take if I were managing him. Style wise, I think I'd steer him clear of cagey boxer types, especialy when they're as good a Wright.

Apparently, King didn't want this fight too much - But there not too many "names" at 154-160 for him to take on I guess.

Wright seems very confident, and I mean genuinely, not just your usual hype.

People are talking about how if he stands in front of Tito, he's doomed, but for all we know he'll change his style to suit - a bit like Barrera surprised everyone with his new style v Hamed. He's good enough to.

50/50 this and neither winning would surprise me.

What cobblers. The only two guys to 'beat' him are Oscar and Hopkins, that's hardly shameful. He's battered pretty much everyone else to defeat.

You may as well saw the same about Thomas Hearns, after all, he lost to Leonard and Hagler....

MW, yes, you may be right, Birmingham is a smart trainer, perhaps they will just get him to move to his left, away from the left hook, and fire off the southpaw jab, and keep moving.

Trouble with that is, he may end up losing on points, as this is not his natural style.

Wright on points

DRAW................

I notice neither boxer has a draw on their records, this one could be too close to call. I fancy the draw, they both seem due one! What price is the draw?

tonyevs · Post by **tonyevs** » 11 May 2005, 17:27

Winky on points.
Not sure if Tito will be that much bigger than him considering Winky started at a heavier weight in the beginning of their career.

Winky to elusive, probably a crap fight to watch, much like EastmanVHopkins but a clinical win for Wright.

Nice to be back on the forum, mate

I fancy Wright to win this one on points.

No logic or thought, just a gut feeling. Wright is tough to fight against, is on a good run and pretty hungry I imagine. With Trinidad, fair enough he's got the proven power but after a long time out and just the Magorya fight I wonder if he'll still have enough to beat Wright.

Manos de Oro · Post by **Manos de Oro** » 11 May 2005, 18:38

Winky has the ability to get a UD, but I don't think he has the concentration. Somewhere in the course of the fight he'll slip up (fornicate, remember round 5 in Moseley 2?) and he'll taste Trinidad's accuracy and power. I think Trindad will hurt Wright between rounds 4-6 and 9-11, and depending how hard he may stop him in either of those time frames.

Just for fun, here's an imaginary scorecard:

Scorecard de Oro wrote: Round 1 - Wright

Round 2 - Wright (but closer) 20 - 18

Round 3 - Trinidad 29 - 28

Round 4 - Wright (decks Trinidad) 39 - 36

Round 5 - Tito rallies to win round, shows heart 48 - 46

Round 6 - Wright nicks 58 - 55

Round 7 - Draw - 68 - 65

Round 8 - Wright 78 - 74

Round 9 - Trinidad hurts Wright 87 - 85

Round 10 - Wright still hurting, Trinidad takes it 96 - 96

Round 11 - Wright getting desparate, loses big, goes down twice 103 - 106

Round 12 - Ironically Wright comes back to claim dull last round 114 - 116

Trinidad UD 116 - 114

An interesting comment about this fight came from Fernando Vargas (who's fought both) - he said all Tito needs to do is cut the ring off and he'll destroy Winky. Look for body shots from Tito...

Smit · Post by **Smit** » 12 May 2005, 04:05

I'm not sure you can take anything from the Mosely 2 fight, I assume Wright knew that Mosely wasn't going to really trouble him so took more chances?

steve689 · Post by **steve689** » 12 May 2005, 04:12

Live on SKY you say? Do tell...

I go for Trinidad on points. I wouldn't doubt Trinidad in big fights either, only Hopkins has beaten him officially he has more or less blitzed all other competition but...he can clearly be outboxed, see DLH and at times versus Vargas and Joppy for proof of that. In fact it was only when Joppy and Vargas traded when they got axed, when they boxed both looked reasonably in control IMO.
