    Also I've heard that he was moving the wrong way (to Winky's right) is that true...and if you were in his corner that night what would you have told him to do?
    Honestly I think it come down to styles and Wright was all wrong for Tito.

      Trinidad was shot when he fought Winky, his drive was gone, anybody could see that, he didnt look in shape at all.

        Trinidad was supposed to move to his left, not Wright's left. This way, Wright's left would have been out of reach and the only weapon that would have been useful againt Trinidad was the jab. No one-twos would have connected on Trinidad's face. Also, Tito would have been giving him angles and landing his jab while always keeping Wright out of position. Trinidad moved the right way against Whitaker. Check the fight to see.

          The whole left, right theory wouldn't have mattered anyway.
          Winky's straight left is weak.

            At last someone responded...Thanx for the info Ex. Why the hell didn't his father told him that, let's see what happens when Don comes to PR...I would love to see Tito train with someone like Cotto's uncle...HE NEEDS TO FIGHT AT LEAST ONCE IN THE CHOLISEO!

              Yeah I heard Winky is right handed, but if Tito had moved to his left then Winky would have been forced to use more than just his jab right?

                De nada, tipo. I ain't no boxer but know things like that and noticed how bad of a job Trinidad Rodríguez did when I saw the fight for the second time. That was a terrible moment. You don't have to be an expert to notice that Plan A was not working and something else was needed. Trinidad Rodríguez sucks!

                  Trinidad should have moved his head more and keep throwing those body shots.

                    Well there was not to much body to punch at...the only place was right on the belt....He should have used the uppercuts, I didn't see one...

                      Trinidad had to move to Winky's right side, use a consistent jab, throw some hooks to the liver with several straight rights, and most important, try to score points instead of trying to knock Wright's head off! That defense is just too much.
