This day in boxing. A look back.

[Spicoli]

Never get tired of watching Trinidad punch power. Very frightening. No one had done that to Joppy and Tito was firm favourite to win the Middleweight tournament and become champion.

Innoue has similar punch power today.

Sometimes it's those "skinny" guys who appear to come equipped with KO power. Think Hearns. They seem to get leverage on their power punches by using their whole bodies in sequence just so.
Beats a musclebound fighter throwing arm punches.

Somehow someway it's become common to see the 160 jump of Tito knocked. Not given the respect due. No catchweight bs, no tiptoeing for a side trinket with no intention of facing the very best next. Just straight to pulverizing a legit 160 established Champ in Joppy who himself would be quality enough to go on and compete with the same very best. Well, I mean Hopkins drummed them both but another topic . Trinidad was a man on a mission.
