April 3, 1998

Felix Trinidad KO's Mahenge Zulu for the 12th defense of his IBF welter world title. At the time, Trinidad surpassed Pipino Cuevas, who had 11 defenses of his WBA welterweight title. Trinidad finished with 15 defenses of his welter title (12 KO's), second only to Henry Armstrong, who had 19 defenses. Trinidad held the welterweight title for almost 7 years.

That is classic Tito Trinidad, so crisp with his punches and that left hook finish was like watching Julian Jackson KO.

Brilliant fighter and champion. became a fan of his after he beat my favourite fighters Carr and Campus.

Not only that... they were both undefeated when he beat them.

Do not remind me, it still hurts. Trinidad would have slaughtered Julio Ceaser Chavez if Don King had allowed it.

Titos fight with Anthony Stephens was also a fun scrap. Stephens showed a young Trinidad caught too many right hands but also gave early glimpses of his adaptability and the way he would always storm back after being rocked or dropped.

I remember when he was dropped by Campas. I think it was a short left hand or something... and I began thinking of Campas' power and that awesome record he had. But Trinidad recovered and his knockout of Campas was pretty scary to tell the truth. Ref jumped in not a moment too soon.

That was a brutal finish against Campus. Tito was a good finisher and his left hook had scary power. Tito was down early against our Kevin Lueshing too. He gets up and destroyed him.

I think so too. Too much firepower.
