I'm putting my money on Tito. Back to back wins against Mosley does not validate him as a worthy middleweight contender. Winky's movement, which is all head and no feet, will only delay the Trinidad's KO power. Wright's punching ability in terms of power and accuracy are good at LMW, but it wont be able to hurt Trinidad. Trinidad's new found use of angles is a painful lesson learned in the Hopkins fight, and it will be key to him winning this fight. Tito's power will also be key to this fight, as Winky's past opponents are all feather-handed.

My prediction: Trinidad TKO Wright in 10 rounds.

Trinidad is gonna teach Winky a lesson. I may go to a buddy's to watch it, but I damn sure ain't paying $50 to see it tomorrow when it's gonna be on HBO next week for free.

:fawk: i was waiting for your response. Do u think trinidad will face hopkins? hehe me and my friend were talkin about this. he was schoolin me on their history and his theory of winky being afraid of hopkins. his theory is winky wins this one, gives trinidad a no title rematch where trinidad wins and he goes up to face hopkins. we'll see what happens.

sounds like a fvckin' soap opera. Trinidad is gonna whoop Winky and hopefully will get a rematch with Hopkins so he can avenge that loss. Trinidad has faced the best there is out there, and has come out on top all but once. Winky has never faced an opponet like Trinidad, one who has the knockout power he has and is an exceptional technical boxer. I think Winky bit off a little more than he can chew.

BTW, if anybody here is putting money on Winky, I suggest you watch the Trinidad v Whittaker fight first. Whittaker style very similar to Winky (southpaw, frequent jab, sneaky 1 2, lots of head movement, no defensive feet movement), although Whittaker was faster and more powerful than Winky is now. Tito scored an early knockdown and cruised his way to a unanimous decision.
