I just love this self-perpetuating Trinidad-DLH fight myth.
I just watched the fight again (probably only the 3rd or 4th time).... with the commentary ON, but ignoring the commentary.
1 - DLH (and I was being kind.... Trinidad did little.... DLH did even less)
2 - Trinidad
3 - Trinidad
4 - Trinidad
5 - DLH
6 - DLH
7 - DLH
8 - Trinidad
9 - Trinidad
10 - DLH (although he was running like Usain Bolt... once again I was kind-hearted)
11 - Trinidad
12 - Trinidad
7 - 5: Trinidad
It's no wonder so many people consider it a (cough)..... robbery. With the deep-throating Lampley ("and ANOTHER big right hand").... regardless of whether it missed or not... and the rest of the adoring HBO crew..... it's no wonder how many clueless people got swayed.
Robbery my ass.
All I know is HBO and Vegas' darling lost the decision to U.S. judges, on U.S. soil, on DLH's backyard.... when DLH was still undefeated and America's darling.
Live with it.![]()
