Again, I thought Trinidad fought 10 times better than he did against Winky Wright, probably the worst fight of Tito's career. And about the size difference, I know some people disagree, but I still feel that it's too much to ask for a fighter that has never fought above 160 to impose his power over a fighter that is a natural light-heavy and has even bulked up to fight at heavy..... regardless of the fact that both came in at the same weight.

And I must say...... DAMN! .... that RJJ can sure take punches to the body. That was one of the things that most impressed me about the fight. Tito did the right thing... going to the body hard and often. But Roy didn't seem flustered by that at all.
I have to agree Tito looked awful against Wright, and the funny is Wright done nothing great at all. He threw the same basic combo all night and Tito couldn't seem to adjust, plus he didn't go to the body at all which is the key against fighting someone like Wright something Vargas done very well.



I know Wright is known in boxing circles to be a superb defensive fighter, but I think had Tito fought him like he fought RJJ, it would've been a totally different fight. I'm not saying Trinidad would've necessarily won (maybe, maybe not)... but it would've been VASTLY different.
