Yes and he was actually the underdog going into the Trinidad fight....No one knew he could box like that
Anybody who watched him fight knew. Was actually my first large bet. 4 to 1. Had it parlayed with byrd over tua which was 4 to 1 aswell. When 9 11 happened they paid me for byrd but the bhop fight was a wash. Then when the odds came back it was 3 to 1. Crazy. I remember thinking the fight was never gonna go off because the odds were to good to be true. Then trinidad was threatening to call it off if he had to rewrap his hand because it was already wrapped before bouie went in. When trinidad actually got in the ring i knew the beating was on.
He had harder fights though with that approach, the cagey vet style was the awkward/ harder one to deal with.
