Are you saying Tito wasnt a stunt double for the final fight scene of Kickboxer?

 

Trinidad was using illegal wraps that were helping his punching power, period.

The proof is in the pudding - if you go back to the Joppy fight, and hear Tito's punches land, it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard in a boxing match. It doesn't sound like a gloved fist hitting someone's face, it almost sounds like someone banging a gavel on wood. Same thing in the Vargas fight. Lampley even commented on how wierd Tito's landed punches sounded, I think.

 

Tito was great but he was just to small for Hopkins...

 

LOOK AT ME WRITING IN CAPS I GUESS THIS MEANS I'M RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG nutpatsch

 

Sorry Artdawg but Titos a cheater. What happened to his power after B Hop exposed him?

 

There is no doubt whatsoever that Bernard, one of the dirtiest fighters of the era (with Holyfield), fought at the boundaries of what's considered fair in the Tito fight. However, that is how he fights, and in the absence of blatant fouling (which did NOT happen), that was what Tito had to be prepared to deal with. Many consider Bernard's tactics a part of the sport, and that's a fair point of view.

Some fighters clinch and lean excessively, some hit on the break consistently, some use the head, right up to the line that divides fair from foul.

Overall, Bernard was within the generally accepted rules of the game in this bout.

He was simply too good and too crafty for the smaller, weaker man here.

A very good and notable victory for BHop, despite the nauseating, jingoistic chauvinism from the HBO crew.



Tito did not have the skills to win this one by out-boxing Hopkins. And like it or not, his hand-wrapping was not kosher, and, as his papa admitted that he always wrapped that way, it never was.

After that bout, Trinidad, 28, who was more or less at peak age and development, never had another elite victory. We can be reasonably sure that his remaining opponents' cornermen paid close attention to his wraps.

Prior to this he had been thoroughly schooled by Oscar. And subsequently, exposed even more devastatingly by Winky.

He was a great WW and even junior MW, but had little resume at 160.

And to think that some (most ) on here would pick him over current Martinez !

I don't even see him surviving against AA or Pav.

Given the skills he possessed, I believe he gets as much (and perhaps a tad more) credit than he merited.

 

Disappeared. He knocked down Vargas with the very first punch landed, but he didn't even phase Hopkins or Winky.

 

:rofl

 

You are a clown. Please die:dead:hi:
