I thought Trinidad beat Oscar, by one point, though neither 'covered themselves with glory.' His fight with Carr, on the other hand, was very well fought, Trinidad, I mean. And watch the Larry Barnes fight and that beautiful hook after the slip that brought about the end of the fight.
Oscar, when trained by Jesus Rivero, was on his way to being one of the very very best. But Oscar was never a puncher; he was always a fast, skilled boxer that could hit pretty good. He hit less good as he moved up, and, in trying to be something he wasn't, he neglected his skill and his jab.
