I love these. Knowing more about the fighters.

However I would have guessed his most difficult opponent would have been Winky Wright. However I see why he picked Jones Jr. Even if they were both past it.

I don't know how true this is but my dad told me once Trinidads' mother used to make caldo de conejo (rabbit soup) for him before every fight.

Amazing that his greatest moment was getting his arse schooled by De La Hoya.

His Mom used to make "caldo de gallina" (chicken soup made from a fresh killed hen) for him before his fights. It's funny because every time his Mom would go on TV and the reporters would ask her if she made the soup, everybody in PR would go "Ohhhhhhh s**t!!! His opponent's fu***d!!!".

¡Tiiiiiiito, Tiiiiiito, Tiiiiiiito! Tito is, in my opinion, how every fighter should be with his fans. Appreciative, humble, approachable, genuine, a great role model for the kids in Puerto Rico... Definitely someone to look up to. He's not press-hungry and when he goes to hospitals or does something for the kids, you don't ever see him with a public relations specialist or photographers or reporters. He's just kind and really seems to enjoy doing kind things for the people, the kids, the fans. Cong**** Mr. Félix "Tito" Trinidad on your newest well deserved, hard earned achievement! Puerto Rico and all your fans are VERY proud of you!!!

Ill will

Right on Ill Will. punch stats oscar threw more landed more at a higher connect percentage . Oscar boxed his ass off for right rounds then cruised foolishly. In any math 8/4 in rounds how did Tito win? Hopkins, Oscar, Wright, Jones all boxed him silly. If you didn't stand in front of him and trade with no defense he was lost.
