Quartey vs Trinidad @147

[Violent Demise]

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.

You kidding me, right? His knock downs against Reid, Campas and Cortes weren't due to balance issues. They were due to him getting hit on the chin

VD Ike Quartey is one of my favorites, but he was a sucker for a left hook. He was knocked down 4 times from my memory all by left hooks, and they wern't flash knockdowns either.

I just see that being his downfall, aswell as Ike Quartey fading down the stretch in big fights. Where as Felix Trinidad come on strong down the stretch in his big fights.

I actually think it would go the distance, and Felix Trinidad would be put down early. And he would be troubled by the jab early, but he would get around that jab eventually. And i see Ike Quartey going down atleast twice late on.

But he survives and goes 12 rounds because he has a huge heart, but in the end he loses by a few points.

An even better fight i wanted to see, is Jose Luis Lopez vs Felix Trinidad.

Your right in the fact that Quartey did have trouble with the left hook. He just refused to keep his hand up. But your wrong in thinking Trinidad would got around the ATG jab of Quartey. De La hoya handled him with ease when he jabbed him. When he stopped is when Trinidad came on. And Tito had no idea what to do when Winky Wright would throw his jab. He never came close to getting around it. The jab was also key to everything Hopkins did in taking Trinidad's 0. I consider Quartey's jab to be superior to theres.
