Thread: Quartey vs Trinidad @147

Always was curious about this match up......I think it would of been interesting all things considered.

Yeh, good matchup. I don't think there was much to pick between Ike, Tito and ODLH @ 147, I mean I had Ike beating ODLH (by 1 round) I'd probably lean towards Tito, but very close fight

Ike Quartey is one of my favorites, but he's bit of a sucker for the left hook which is Felix Trinidad's best punch. Lopez, ODLH, Phillips, all badly stunned and floored Ike Quartey with left hooks. And i think Ike Quartey would be floored atleast twice losing a close decision.

Felix Trinidad would probably be floored himself early on, also Ike Quartey's jab and his own power would be trouble for Felix Trinidad early on.

But Felix Trinidad was great at coming on late on. Where as Ike Quartey seemed to fade down the stretch in his big fights, i think this would be like Jose Luis Lopez vs Ike Quartey, except Ike Quartey loses by a few points.

Tito points because Ike did not move enough to trouble Tito. Ike had an excellent jab but Tito would control him and win the fight.

Fight could go either way. But I think Quartey and his jab win it for him. Trinidad has gone down early in some of his fights. But I think Quartey keeps him there if he manages to drop him

I always liked Quartey (rooted for him vs DLH), but I think he plays into Tito's style. Yes, Tito went down early in fights, but it was more a balance issue, and he always came back strong to KO his opponents (until BHop, that is). Tito had quick hands and a great left hook. I think Tito stops Ike in a fast, action-packed fight.

I have to say this analogy is pretty much as i see it.
