Looks like Winky stands a little more chance against Tito. Winky got his way and they are using thicker gloves. Meaning, hits won't feel be as hard or as winky puts it "its more protection for my hands."
I think boxers should be allowed to pick whatever gloves they themselves would like to wear. I also think you shouldn't be able to force the other boxer to wear the type of gloves you want them to wear.
My prediction just went from Tito KO to Tito decision.
funny how a lot of known boxing scribes are tabbing winky to win this one over a proven warrior .... 2 wins over a past his prime mosley gets you a W against tito in many peoples minds. i can't wait 'til i wake up sunday and post on this biaatch!
so...? wake up and smell defeat cuz trinidad got that ass beat!

i want u to remember what that this is what u said on sunday morning cuz winky will win.
the gloves themselves won't make a difference..
wrong.
same thing with the morales/pac fight. they knew if pac wore reyes morales would be more at risk, so they went with winners. and what happened? morales easy ud.
what will happen tonight? same exact thing is happening, they are taking the power puncher and putting him at a disadvantage by using the thicker gloves.
I just KNOW winky will win a UD with these circumstances since he's the superior boxer. id bet my car on it.
Fellow B.O. posters, don't you find it funny that Triggercrappy got that Anti B.O. signature? He's actually giving me some indirect publicity and I don't even have to pay for it. Ha!
I know I seen him with the Columbian flag, but I dont remenber, and Columbians ussaly carry American flags, and rep it, but true, whatever he is he doesnt claim it, we might never know :D .
"Since 1999 when Corrales traded bone-breaking punches with Robert Garcia to win his first world title, the Mexican-American fighter known as 'Chico' displayed staggering power in his left hand and unlimited potential. Then a loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. was followed by a two-year stint in prison for spousal abuse."

Also, check out the post fight conference and Chico says "We both had to represent being warriors because it was Cinco de Mayo"-This is his indirect way of claiming his Mexican heritage.
Google it and you'll find a lot more articles on Corrales being "Mexican-American"
One more thing: You may have thought he was Columbian because he was born in Columbia...SOUTH CAROLINA.

The whole Castillo card was a Columbian vs. Mexican card, with Polo vs. JMM, and them too, he is as Mexican as was Duran, which means he isnt, they are just trying to claim him, if not, where has he said he was>?
Where has he said he wasn't??? See? And boxrec doesn't help any. Regardless, whatever he is he doesn't claim it.
Point is? I checked, some guy said to bring in the Mexican flag to the ring for money, and he agreed. He doesnt do that cause he is not.
He doesn't do it because he chooses not to, but he agreed that he would gain support of his fellow Mexicans, at least that's how I interpreted it. I could be wrong, but I take it as he is Mexican, otherwise he would have pointed it out that he wasn't... Right??? I would think so. I think he's Mexican.
Maybe the BORICUA ORGANIZATION should mass ingore him, I bet he would have no reason to live on after that :D
Hey bro, I believe your wrong, Corrales is Mexican!
Check out his chat on boxingtalk, and you'll see what I'm talking about!
IMO gloves do make a diff. thicker padding, less padding, wider, longer i think it makes a diff, IF u utilize that
this should help winky tho
Softer, thicker gloves help Winky.
Winky is a defensive fighter so in a sense, that thicker, bigger gloves will cover his face better than a Reyes Gloves.
Tito wan't gonna KO Winky if he wears Reyes Gloves anyways, because WINKY will WIN! Winky will outbox Tito.
Why would I ever give props to Tito Trinidad. The guy simply has no class.. In the press conference he said "I want to hurt Winky".. He said the same thing in the Hopkins press conference too.. Real classy.. Most guys just want to take care of business and win, but this clown wants to hurt people.
did you start watching boxing like 2 weeks ago?
this isn't golf.
if you think "classy" boxers throw punches at each other but have no intention of hurting their opponents, you're wrong.

Real classy.. Most guys just want to take care of business and win, but this clown wants to hurt people.. Also he was so thoroughly dominated by Hopkins while he was in his PRIME.. He didnt suffer a lucky KO or wasnt on the back-side of his career. RIng Magazine rated it one of the most lopsided prizefights in recent history. Plus the stupid fuc* can't speak English because he's too stupid.
PEOPLE (especially the boricuas) don't reply to this retard's post because then it will just change this whole forum, he likes to do this!!! Especially against PR's!!!
You guys can root for Winky all day long, just give Trinidad his props when he wins, unlike Mayorga, who the same people were rooting for/hyping up, and now refer to as "tailor made" :D .
Couldn't have said it better myself! Bow down when he wins BIATCHES!!!
the only thing "slick" about winky is all the grease they gonna put on his face. but that ain't gonna matter either cause titos gloves are gonna cut right through it like butter.
Winky is not scared of Tito. He has beeb in with big punchers before, not as big as Tito but has his flaws. I am still going with Winky by Dec he is a slick southpaw and his is good.
the gloves themselves won't make a difference. its just like b-hop making him rewrap the hands. its all psycological bullshit. tinky winky does't need to worry about his hands cause tito is still gonna knock his ass out regaurdless.
exactly didnt know winky would pull little bitch shit like that. I understand if its in the contract before the fight and if his really doing to protect his hands. He made it obvious that he is scared to get ktfo!
