ive got to admit i did favour trinidad heavily. he was coming off 2 devastating wins against vargas and joppy. He was also the marquee fighter in this matchup. Think about it. In the middleweight tournament Trinidad sold out Madison Square Garden while Hopkins fought in the smaller garden venue.

The 2 big wins for me made me fancy him over Hopkins. Also it was in the script for Tinidad to win and that Hopkins could possibly grow old overnight. How wrong I was
