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.
