DLH/Trinidad 1999 revisited

All the hoya talk made me go back and watch the Trinidad fight. I was surprised that the fight actually holds up. Anyway, I had it seven rounds Hoya, four rounds Trinidad, and one round draw. To my surprise on rewatching this the only fighter wobbled is Trinidad. Yet DLH had to run, he was out of gas big time and Trinidad was gonna knock him out. It's weird in this fight cuz you can still see the freakish power of Trinidad. DLH is running pretty effectively and still managing to outland Trinidad (in the tenth at least, Lederman's card) but when he gets hit you can see it on DLH's face how hard those punches were.
Good fight to revisit. :good

 

Have you been rummaging through my closet.

Tito's defence was great in that fight, I forgot to mention in the original post how competitive Tito was. I didn't post the thread up to wave the Hoya flag over Tito but because I remember it as a shitty fight but its actually very entertaining. Most people have it 8 rounds to 4, I was kind enough to Tito to shave one off and give him seven.

Tito turned down the rematch, not Hoya.

 

It was also the purse. Tito didn't want to make less than DLH after having won the first fight.

 

That was a boxing lesson. Tito couldn't find him until the end of the fight and even then he couldn't really catch him. It's funny a Floyd fan would make fun of Hoya for that fight. No one fights for there country except poor foot soldiers. Boxers fight for $$$$$.

I always think its funny that people say Tito fought for his country while Don King is counting his cash right in front of you.

 

It's up on youtube for a bit.

 

Yeah, no sweat, everyone's been a little excited around here since Floyd's announcement.:good
