Felix Trinadad vs Simon Brown At WW

Trinidad is being picked to win by just about everyone. Do you think saying it`s a tough fight and probably a war is over rating Simon? Do you agree that Brown could hurt Trinidad?

 

Of course Brown could hurt Trinadad, he was dropped by far worse fighters than Brown.

 

Of course Brown could hurt Trinidad. Problem is, Brown ate FAR more shots than Trinidad. And Trinidad is the more offensively talented, and quicker handed of the two. He also had a few inches of height on Brown as well.

And whilst we're on the subject of getting hurt/dropped. Brown was VERY CLOSE to being taken out by Tyrone Trice in their first fight. It goes without saying, that Tryone Trice is NOT Felix Trinidad.

I think it's a competitive fight for about 5 rounds. After that, I think Trinidad starts giving Brown a beating.

 

Brown is a good offensive fighter but is rather mild in his tempo. He uses the shoulder roll to set traps but his feet are not fluid. Brown is calculating but he is a "set" fighter and liked to touch opponents with a jab inviting them to attack so he can counter. Trinidad is more varied in his offense, more up tempo and moves better with his feet. His in-out shuffling and heavy right hand are a good match up for a stationary fighter looking to set things up. Plus one of Brown's major defensive weapons is to bend at the waist with his feet firmly planted. You can't be in directly front of that power without it taking a toll. Tito's left hook especially to the body will be there.

Trinidad not only has the power advantage but probably a slight hand speed advantage as well. Trinidad was such a natural puncher and a fantastic finisher he's going to wear Brown down for a stoppage. Brown is super tough and won't go easy but Tito is so methodical in his dismantling.
