I mean it has all the same elements
Orthodox vs Southpaw
Flat footed puncher vs "featherfisted" boxer
An ostensibly bigger man vs a guy one weight class down
Both fights were completely one sided blowouts where the puncher never landed a single noteworthy shot.
Both punchers were past their best and at the absolute tail ends of their careers too.
A lot of people are calling Regis trash for his performance, but at least he had the excuse of a 5 inch reach disadvantage against a guy with faster hands and feet. I actually liked Trinidad, but he himself looked horrible that night. No one is jumping to call him garbage though despite probably setting a record jabs landed on him.
