KING TELLS TRINIDAD: "We're fighting Winky Wright on March 19!"

[kborges]

Despite several conflicting reports floating around the press regarding Felix Trinidad's next fight, **********.com was able to get the real deal regarding the Puerto Rican superstar's next move. Trinidad was originally scheduled to fight on March 12, but Madison Square Garden already had a concert scheduled that day, so March 19 became the working date. Just minutes ago, Felix Trinidad Sr. told **********.com that Team Trinidad gave Don King until last weekend to make a fight for March 19, when Sunday came and went, Trinidad Sr. told a Puerto Rican newspaper that Trinidad would be fighting in April or May. Last night, sources indicated to BT that DKP may have reached an agreement to stage Trinidad-Wright on March 19. We contacted Don Felix Trinidad Sr, who confirmed the information stating "I just got off the phone with our attorney Nicolas Medina, and he told me that Don King said he made the deal. Even though he's a day later, we have no problem. Tito Trinidad is going to be fighting Winky Wright on March 19," said Trinidad's father, manager and trainer.

Bad news for Sturm

Don Kings is worried about Felix Sturm!!!
He is too dangerous for USA. With him you cant make money. See Hopkins or the "De La Hoya scandal". Give him a chance to get back his belt!!!

What's with these guys who show up at a forum and immediately start talking smack about everyone but their favourite fighter? It's not even relevant to the thread. Tito was never gonna fight Sturm, man.

[Bombardier]

This fight would be awesome. I think Wright's a little overrated...like Tarver, he beat a guy with a big name who was already on his way down. His style could give Tito some trouble, but I believe the man is on a mission this time and will take him down early.

What would Sturm do run all night? This is good news for Sturm if you ask me.

Winky will give Tito some problems but there probably isn't too many fighters out there today who can stand in front of Tito and not lose. Winky will not be one of them. Tito by decision or if Winky gets brave Tito by late stoppage.

See US Championships

The title fights in US mostely are US Championships. But a few fighters are very bad. See Glen Johnson out of Jamaica. Now he is the best light-weight in the world? Oh my god see his fighting record. He loss against Ottke and some other middleweight. This fights are only for money and that is no sports. Trinidad will win, because everyone is hoping for a rematch Trinidad/Hopkins. That means: money,money,money. And when i see this Don King UHHHHH!
