Felix Trinidad vs Julian Jackson at 154

Felix would be the smaller man and he's not a fancy Dan mover. I'd bet on JJ but not before he goes crashing to the deck a few times.

 

Trinidad has a penchant for getting dropped early. I think Julian finishes the job inside 4.

 

Explosive fight that’ll be reminiscent to Foreman vs Lyle or Hamed vs Kelley. Multiple KDs but only one man will stay down. I think Trinidad will get dropped and perhaps even in trouble early on but as the fight wears on I see Trinidad going through the early storm and unleash his own brutal offense on Jackson. Trinidad’s more polished offense, better chin, and lethal left hook will help him beat Jackson. As powerful as Jackson was his defense was porous and will be vulnerable to Trinidad’s shots, sooner or later he’ll be hit with a hard punch that he won’t recover from.

I see Trinidad stopping Jackson in 6 rounds of nonstop action.

 

In his prime only Gerald McClellan and Mike McCallum stopped Jackson. Trinidad was good but he wasn't good enough to avoid or take Jackson's power. Jackson by brutal KO in a few rounds.

 

Could go either way. You would think Trinidad should be able to weather the storm and beat down Jackson for a late TKO, but unfortunately that storm is Julian Jackson who has a legitimate claim as P4P one of the best KO artists ever. I'm more inclined to go Jackson just because if he lands hard early Tito isn't going to get a chance to stage a comeback like he did vs several others he fought, he's just going to get KOd. Would definitely order the PPV

 

Think Trinidad had more dimensions but he wasn't as big as McCallum or G-Man and not sure trading hooks would be a good idea. Would be an epic fight.

 

My prediction ? PAIN...


for Trinidad

 

Tough one. Jackson had the size and power, Trinidad had the skill advantage. However considering how he likes to go toe to toe I could see him getting his chin checked early. Luckily he had a solid chin. Jackson was a little chinny himself though, so I could see Trinidad overcoming some early setbacks and doing some damage himself and winning a late stoppage. Hard to pick, but I'll say Trinidad.

 

Let’s not pretend that Trinidad was a glass chinned fighter. He’s known to get dropped but early on but he still recovers afterwards. The only fighter that has stopped him was the naturally bigger Hopkins. Jackson would no doubt start fast and go after Trinidad from the start but he’ll be open to Trinidad’s left hook. Trinidad was a great finisher who would have been able to stop Jackson the moment he has him hurt.

 

This was my original thought as well. Then it occurred to me that if Jackson does go down, Trinidad is too great of a fighter to let him survive. This caused me to rethink things.

Soooo, while Tito was greater at 147 than The Hawk was at any weight I just don't think he handles Jackson's power at 154. Jackson by knockout.

 

Cute story. The guys who stopped Jackson were harder punchers than Trinidad. They were also naturally bigger than Trinidad. Also don't act like Jackson was glass chinned. The point is Jackson was a bigger fighter naturally compared to Trinidad and Tito also had a shaky chin. The moment Jackson connected Trinidad would be put to sleep.

 

Yes it’s a cute and valid story indeed. You said that the guys that stopped Jackson were bigger punchers than Trinidad. Other than McClellan who was really a boiled down LHW you can’t honestly tell me that Mike McCallum and Verno Phillips were bigger punchers than Trinidad.
I stand by what I said. Trinidad can be shaky early but his recuperative skills is excellent. Jackson’s chin wasn’t glass but it was vulnerable. Once Trinidad starts getting into his rhythm and landing more frequently in he will eventually get Jackson out of there.

 

Maybe reading isn't your strong point. I said McClellan and McCallum are harder punchers than Trinidad. Also by the time Jackson was losing to guys like Verno he was way past his prime. But hey keep spending your points to try to fit your agenda.

Yep Jackson's chin was vulnerable but Trinidad's wasn't? Yeah on that note I am done typing to you. I won't respond to anything else you type.

 

I read you very clearly and you are definitely wrong about Mike McCallum being a harder puncher because he was more of an accumulation puncher.

That’s fine by me. I was trying to have a civil discussion and yet you come off as very rude. I have no interest in getting into a drawn out banter with you so we’ll just agree to disagree.
