STURM VS TRINIDAD one small step from being official...

[jack_the_rippuh]

If you are going to rewrite my post just quote me, then. I just can't take your opinion seriously since a lot of your posts show that you don't like Trinidad. Well, it's not that you don't like Trinidad, you hate him. Trinidad does not have a weak chin, he was dropped only once after 11 effective rounds by Hopkins. I never said that he would take Hopkins if he used body punches, so that came from you. I did not even guarantee that Trinidad would win, just that the rematch will be different and way more competitive.

First off, I don't hate Tito Trinidad. No matter what you say, nothing can change that fact that he has a weak chin. I'll admit that he has alot of heart for staying up when he does get hurt and for having the ability to get up after getting knocked down, but face it the guy has a glass jaw, he just knows how to beat the count..
Obviously I misunderstood your post...If you said he will not go head-hunting like he did in 2001, what do you think he will do more of, and how can you justify your assumption?

He will box more and move his head. Now he knows that Hopkins has a very good chin, so he won't think that he'll KO him easily like he KO's almost everyone. He will probably try to fight him like he fought Pernell Whitaker, round by round and thinking about the points. Also, he might choose not to follow Hopkins so much and fall prey to his counterpunching.

ARE YOU IN LOVE W/SLY?

If you mean in love with most of the entertaining movies he makes, then yes.

Against a guy like Hopkins, he can't win anymore than 4 rounds (and that's if he's lucky)...

As far as the whole following thing goes, that's the only style Tito Trinidad knows. When the going gets tough, keep moving forward, keep chasing 'em..
So there is nothing he can do to nullify the counter-punching.

In their first fight Merchant made an excellent point. He said when Tito Trinidad fights, he counts on his power to play the difference, and when it doesn't...he's stuck.

I think Tito will start the fight trying to go by that gameplan you stated, but he'll quickly fall away from it after being frustrated.

You never know. But at least you recognize that what I say could happen.

It's all about taste. For example, I like Evil Dead but it's not among my favorite flicks. On the other hand, there are several Stallone movies that I like a lot. Movies like Rocky III and IV, Rambo movies, Over The Top, Cobra, Get Carter, and so on. He is not my fave actor but he is in my top 3.
