I cannot find this fight anywhere at all. Wright really shellacked Trinidad all night long.

Because it sucked royally.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Try looking in the educational vids
Maybe Tito bought the rights to it and burnt it so no one could see him embarrassed. Ray Leonard did the same with the macho man beat down he endured.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Not sure what was more embarrassing for Trinidad. Him getting humiliated by Wright or that stupid ass hair cut he was rocking
ODLH, Winky Wright, BH all humiliated Tito, proved how 1-dimensional he was as a boxer.
He was a come-forward stalker, that I give him and he was a great one at that. But when put with smart and versatile boxers he could NOT cut the proverbial mustard, and looked rather amatteurish, got hammered hard to the head over and over, though he kept coming forward, felt a little sorry for him the way Hop chopped him down step by step. It was brutal by about the 7th round, really brutal. Kinda like Lewis chopping down Tyson step by step.
I dont know what it is but I really enjoy seeing Tito get his ass handed to him, god I watched the Tito-Hopkins fight well over 20 times and that final left hook is always oh so sweet.
He broke him the down physically and mentally. Trinidad had power in both hands. But his biggest weapon had always been the left hook. Hopkins knew that. As soon as the fight started he took it away. Hopkins dictated the pace the whole fight. Hopkins easily took the first 5 rounds by schooling him. Trinidad just kept trying and trying to land his left hook. Thinking he just needed to land flush one time to change the momentum of the fight. In the 6th round he finally does. He catches Hopkins a couple of times against the ropes. Good solid shots. And Hopkins just took them and kept on doing what he was doing. Trinidad was mentally finished. And Hopkins knew it. Trinidad had hit him with his biggest shots and nothing. That's when Hopkins stopped schooling Trinidad and just started beating his ass. Hopkins had already broke him mentally and was destroying him physically. What made it worse for Felix was that not only was Hopkins bitch slapping him in the ring but his dad was bitch slapping him in the corner. That's what you call a bad night
I too love seeing that big-confidence making-faces proud fighter get his ass handed to him. Lovely indeed.
Yeah, a total schooling by Winky... no doubt. One of 3 whole fights (all to HOF'ers) that Trinidad suffered in his whole career. Not bad for a "one-dimensional" fighter. First to Hopkins, one of the greatest middleweights of all time. Not bad for a fighter whose best weight was 147 pounds. And before that he destroyed another MW champion, William Joppy. Then came Winky, never knocked out in his career (like Hopkins), and having been in there with the best. No shame in losing to Winky either. Finally, against Roy Jones Jr. at 170, way above Trinidad's weight, and when both were pretty much over the hill.
And while DLH was looking for smaller and smaller fighters to end his career... the one-dimensional Trinidad was going for bigger opponents at higher weights. DLH can claim a MW championship, but is was a gift..... a joke. Trinidad truly beat a legitimate MW champion.... by KO, not a gift decision.
We should all have such lousy records.![]()
