I learn toward Minter by decision or late-round stoppage, but could Alan be offset by Tito's punches?
Trinidad can win this imo, its not as if Minter is a bad style matchup for him, even if he may be stronger.
Not a good fight for tito, Minter was awkward, I expect him to be ahead on the cards before tito walks him down and stops him late. Minters head would be pissing blood, thats the only real guarentee we have.
I go for Minter on points, underrated and durable. He's got to keep his boxing together though, got to look after that dodgy skin of his.
Minter takes a split decision on this one, a bit of a roughneck, would get under Trinidad's skin on various occasions, but Tito hits with enough punches to cause Alan some discomfort.
Minter's paper-thin skin would likely be an issue against such a sharp precision puncher.Minter definitely has the capability of taking advantage of Trinidad's plodding footwork and outboxing him for a bit,but he lack's the defense and discipline to prevent Trinidad from tearing his face to pieces. EDIT: another ****ing bumped thread from Thinblack
Minter goes even with Tito throughout much of the fight but ultimately catches a bad beating late. It's stopped in the final few rounds. Blood all over the place.
i to am leaning toward minter he is underrated , his skin is always an issue though but for me trinidad might be vulnerable early as was sometimes the case. and a possible early KD in minters favour may be just enough at the end to swing a decision his way
I think Minter has a very good chance here, he can box, and punch, he caught Hagler with good punch, and following Combo, and Shook Hamsho to his boots with a shot, these type of shots would introduce Trinidad to the canvas i have little doubt, Felix does get up looking for payback, but Alan, providing he boxes to order, has a decent chin and mobility stamina and skills enough, i think to gain a close points decision, i cant help thinking that the stalking Tito walks onto a few Minter surprises,
I'm sort of inbetween on this, Minter is the wrong style for Tito, but Tito may have the athleticism to overcome that against a champion who wasn't at the top level. PS Thinblack bumps some decent threads, I prefer it to a new identical thread
