    but cmon! that's not what most people said when Tito took this fight. Last time I check, Winky was underdog and everyone was YOWZING impressed by Tito's performance against Mayorga! Tito fought Winky becuz he'll get paid big and he thought he can knock Winky out!

        hmm

        I hate it when people degrade a fighter so much after a loss. I rooted for Winky and am glad he won, but let's give Tito his due before we say he is not a great fighter. Styles make fights after all. We should praise Winky without having to degrade Tito too much.

        1) Tito beat Vargas, and was the first to outclass him. Wright fought Vargas and drew with him (I scored it a draw anyway).

        2) Vargas (after facing Wright AND Tito) gave Oscar a good damn go when they fought.

        3) Tito beat respectable fighters such as David Reid, William Joppy, Pernell Whitaker (though on drugs and older was still decent).

        Tito should fight Howard Eastman.

          I had picked Wright to win by UD and maybe a little close on the scorecards but did not envision he was gonna do it in that dominating fashion. Mainstream boxing fans already and will be saying " Trinidad was way overrated to begin with " it's a bunch of bull. Again folks it's all about the almighty dollar I mean how the hell do you prep someone up to fight a guy like Winky who's been consistent and has been fighting at a pretty high level against a guy who's coming off a very long layoff and his first bout back was against a punching bag(y'all heard this a million times already prior to tonights match-up)At the end of tonight though I still give Trinidad a helluva lot more props than De La fruity, sure Oscar's resume reads like a who's who of fighters but if you take a little closer Oscar's people have done a good job of ducking top flight fighters and taking on challenges when other big name fighters are at their lowest point in their careers.
