I have been watching some old Felix Trinidad fights, and realized how much he low-blowed people. Anyone else had an issue with this when he was fighting?

Trinidad was a good fighter. Very strong. But he was not invincible. He went down about 10 different times in his career. And hurt several more. Look at his fights. Every time he found himself in a situation he pretty much always resorted to low blows. Some times he got away with it. Some times he didn't. Either way the delay the low blows caused helped him clear his head. It's a skanless move but some times you gotta do what you gotta do to win. And with the low blows and Trinidad Sr shady way of wrapping hands Tito did everything he could to get the win
Cotto also had a penchant for me blows.
Like VD said, sometimes you do what you need, to win.
It's a Puerto Rican thing. In fact we're considering adopting Andre Ward into our fold.

In some more recent news Rocky Marciano was a dirty fighter and hit people as they were down.

I was more concerened with Floyd's elbows and the ref being up his ass.
Oh yeah the Don Cockell violins get brought out againQuote:

Bro, Marciano fought 5 ft 10 and 184 pounds against Jersey Joe Walcott at 6 ft 2 and 210 pounds for 13 classic and gruelling rounds and didn't land a single low blow.Quote:
