Jackson vs Trinidad @ 154

I'll go against the grain here and take Felix.

This is a 5 round fight given both guy's defense and punch resistance. But I like the fast and accurate left hook to catch Jackson clean and it would be the beginning of the end.

Another factor I really like w/ that left hook is how high Trinidad kept those hands. Up nice and high--unlike Jackson. I think Jackson makes a big mistake seeing that body of Trinidad open and tries throwing wide and hard body shots. But throwing them from the outside. I like that Trinidad left hook to land while Jackson dips down to dig in his body shots.

 

Trinidad is the better boxer, but is textbook which means he takes punches on the earmuffs, which may be dangerous, but I still pick him to outjab Jackson and to be able to time him and beat him to the punch in mid range and in the trades, he’s a bTec, smaller McCallum in a way, there are similarities.

 

No. I mean you say Tito was regularly going down then getting up but then you call him a front running quitter. I

'm talking about the fights that happened, Tito was no quitter. When he went down, he got back up. As you so rightly said.

 

Trinidad had to come from behind in a few fights he was losing against David Reid for example after 6 rounds by quite a considerable margin until Trinidad turned it on the 2nd half of the fight and dominated.

Trinidad was floored vs Oba Carr early and may of been behind after 5 rounds until he turned it up late.

Of course he was obviously way behind vs ODLH before coming back in the later rounds winning a controversial decision.

Trinidad often had issues early in fights or a few scares along the way he always dealt with them and comeback strongly not someone I'd associate with being a quitter.

 

Jackson could punch like an animal,and Trinidad coud get tagged. On the other hand, Tito was a sharper, faster puncher, and could also stop Jackson. This ends by KO either way.

 

I see. I was referring to Trinidad not recovering after the bout, regarding his career. The minute he got hurt & beaten up, he was done. A very poor look.
