You're trying way to hard. And failing. All he said was what happened during his training camp. Show me where he said he would of won if Omar hadn't gotten sick. Or where he said it would of been a different outcome. Your embarrassing yourself like you always do.
What affected me were the towers, and the date change also had to do with it. But the situation with my wife is what I had on my mind. That was the main thing, more than anything. Thank God, we overcame it."
If the fight would have went forward on the 15th, Trinidad doesn't think the final result would have been the same because he wouldn't have had all of the personal problems weighing heavy on his mind.
"if the fight had been on 15th, the story would have been different," Trinidad said.
That's a direct quote. Towers. Date. Whore. There was no excuse he wasn't gonna use
well well well-------this is turning into some quarrel here.
I think Oscar got the wind knocked out of him, but at first it looked fake to me, as he saw he was not going to win and it is easy to fake getting hurt by a body shot---the view is not that clear and the replays dont really show the shot clearly. Looks a bit fake, but the pounding the canvass is not necessarily fake. Buster Douglas pounded the canvass for example when Tyson decked him in the 8th. I have seen fighters pissed off that they went down. etc. Oscar was never going to beat Hop, though he won 2 rounds in my book that night.
As for Trinidad, he fought like a warrior against Hop always coming forward, but he really and truly got his ass handed to him that night, lost every single round, but I gave him the 6th or the 7th I cant remember which right now. No offense to anyone---I just never liked Trinidad, I know he had plenty of KOs and was aggressive and exciting and never retreated....I just never liked him --- I just thought he was too obnoxiously self-confident like Prince Nassim or Muhammad ali, I dont like that type of personality. Oscar on the other hand was never that way, I found his postfight interviews very calm and frank, he had no problem admitting his faults or why he lost.

..... and that's cool, bro. All respect to you. No fighter in the history of boxing has ever been universally liked. But you and I can discuss things logically and rationally, because you're not so consumed by biased hate, that you would immediately dismiss everything someone else says to you..... unlike another someone I will choose not to mention at this time.
Bro.... Douglas was decked by a vicious uppercut from one of the hardest punchers in history. PLUS.... he was clearly dominating the fight to that point. He was pissed that he made a mistake, and allowed himself to get caught. MUCH different than DLH against B-Hop. Yes... as you clearly put it.... Oscar was not going to win that fight no matter what. When he went down from that glancing body shot, he pounded the canvas again and again and again (bad acting job). Everybody and their brother questioned not only the punch, but the fight itself. BIG DIFFERENCE from the Douglas fight.
I can tell this to you, because you're a logical thinking adult. I mention it to the other guy, whose name will remain unsaid, and all he does is begin with the insults and shit. Which is why I've given up on the use of logic with him.
Yes he did, Brock. And even though you intensely disliked Trinidad, as you said yourself, you're adult enough and man enough to give him his props on that. He lost convincingly? Yes he did. I've always been adult and man enough to admit THAT. But again..... we're discussing this like two rational adults.
.... and again, that's fine, Brock. To each his own. We all have our own tastes. One thing I can tell you about Trinidad though, is that he enjoyed fighting inmensely. He came into the ring with a smile, and enjoyed every single thing about the fight game. He loved representing his country, and that's why he's so beloved here in Puerto Rico. He was also extremely fan-friendly. Never did he turn away a request for an autograph or picture. I met him personally, and can attest to that.
He made excuses when he lost? Yes. So do a lot of other WINNING fighters. Like I proved to the other dude although he won't admit it..... you lose your undefeated record.... 99% chance you'll be making excuses. It goes with the territory. Only a damn fool would say only this fighter does it, "but not MY fighter". And no... Oscar was not prone to make excuses. But he had plenty of other things I didn't like. Like I said, to each his own.
Always a pleasure discussing issues with a fellow adult.![]()
thanks man. I am not a hater based on race or religion or anything. I just base it on personality I guess. Tito wasnt so bad after all I mean personality that is. I didnt hate him but I never liked him as a personality. I DO know he hit hard, and I like hard hitters. Foreman and Rocky are my 2 favorites I think.

I always liked Trinidad, especially during his WW career. I think that,as he moved up, he got to left hook happy and sort of neglected his other weapons. (though he did win one of his 154 fights with a right hand to the solar plexus) Also, for what it is worth, Trinidad vs DLH was the only fight I can recall where I cheered for the PR fighter over the Mexican or Mexican-American fighter.
No ethnic issues here, I just grew up watching Lopez and Olivares, Chacon, et al...and spent my time in Mexican gyms.

I dunno man. I'm not huge on Oscar and he's alot of things but punk quitter doesn't come to mind. Fishnets and Manny stool aside. Wasn't that a liver shot? I've been hit in the liver by someone and would have prefered to be shot in the nuts. Slighting him is same as slighting Hopkins. It was a money grab fight..Oscar wasn't a middle at all...but he wasn't acting.

Like you said, you been hit there before. You kno how it feels. I agree 100% it's a terrible feeling. We kind of have an idea what Oscar was feeling. But someone who never in there life ever been in a fight wouldn't inderstand that. There the ones who think getting hit in the liver by a much bigger fighter wouldn't hurt.
I just don't really like Trinidad because he got a fucking huge gift against Oscar and i will never understand why he did it is like Bradley Pac no way he won that fight. Also i am not sure were people rate him but i think he was a huge welterweight and once he was not huge compared to his opponent and they boxed he looked a fool really. Some one at that level not being able to deal with movement really makes me wonder some times its like how can you not have any kind of plan b at all.

I hated Tito for beating Campus and Carr who were my favourite fighters when they were both undefeated. Then I got to like him and appreciated his freakish power. Supported him all the time except against Vargas. His comeback fights were embarrassing against Winky and Jones although loved his destruction of Mayorga.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
