Live from Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, junior middleweight king Ronald "Winky" Wright moves up to the middleweight division to face Felix "Tito" Trinidad. When Trinidad came out of retirement in 2004, he told the world that he only wants big fights and big fights is what Trinidad is giving the boxing public. Tito made his return to the sport on October 2nd, 2004 when he took on the always dangerous Ricardo Mayorga. Trinidad picked his spots and overpowered the iron chinned Mayorga by knocking him down three times on route to an 8th round TKO stoppage. Now Trinidad meets a fighter who was never stopped in his career, Winky Wright.Some experts say that Trinidad is moving too fast by facing one of boxing's pound for pound best so soon in his comeback and others say Wright is too small to beat Trinidad. What Wright lacks in power he makes up in boxing skill and what Trinidad lacks in boxing skill he makes up in power, the conflicting styles make for what most expect to be an exciting fight. Most insiders expect that the winner of this bout will face the winner of July's megabout between Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor later in the year.The main supporting bout on the pay per view pits the undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah against challenger Cosme Rivera. Rivera has defeated welterweight B class fighters like Hercules Kyvelos and Golden Johnson, but has never faced any opponent in the same league as Judah. Rivera has never been stopped and has a decent punch, but most expect this bout to be a one sided victory for Zab Judah. [details]
