Subject: Pipino Cuevas vs Felix Trinidad, Who you got? Thu Nov 11, 2010 3:28 pm
I got Cuevas breaking Trinidad's jaw or tearing his head off with his left hook lol
Cuevas was a freaking beast that had a pretty good chin(yes i am aware that hearns crushed his chin but damn as good as cuvas chin was a right hand from hell from hearns would knock out a bear lol) and had a left hook that was plain insane. Dude broke bones,heavybags, speed bags, he was a real human wrecking ball in his prime.
Trinidad was a good puncher but I believe for Cuevas to be tamed you need some dynamite of Hearns or have exceptional boxing skills and I feel Trinidad dont have that any of that. Cuevas didnt have the best defense but for Trinidad to hit Cuevas he'll have to get in range also to be hit and I'm not sure he can handle and onslaught from Cuevas when they start to trade.
I know folks might say "Cuevas got destroyed by Duran in 4". Get real that was a shot Cuevas already after Hearns beat him and all Cuevas did was knockout 2 bums along with losing a decision before he fought Duran.
Cuevas 8th Round KO
Cuevas Left Hook > Trinidad Left Hook

Based on what little I know about both fighters( had no clue who Cuevas was and have done alittle research on Trinidad recently) Looks to me Cuevas had more power but he was just throwing all he had into one punch, Trinidad looks to be a more well rounded fighter with more speed and defense. Like I said I'm no expert but for the sake of joining the convo I'll say Trinidad wins.

Hearns is miles the better boxer that Trinidad is and Trinidad doesnt go in there to box you, he goes in the ring willing to trade.

Tito hits hard, Cuevas hits harder.... Tito is more well rounded, but this fight is about who could take a punch better. Cuevas was getting rocked by real power punchers, Tito didnt fight too many of those (not saying he didnt because theres a few he did). Its a toss up.

A very tough fight with whoevers chin holds up longer gets the win. Gun to my had I say Tito by 7th round stoppage.
