I watched this LIVE with my dad , brother and uncle, as a kid. This was BOXING. Still in the Golden era. Tyson was still an active and scary heavyweight. Nobody was ducking each other.! All the big fights were made..!! My family was rooting for Trinidad all the way. in his Vargas bout and Oscar de la Hoya, and Mayorga fight. Glad I was around for this. Thanks, pop 🙏
Definitely an historic run. He was one of my favorite fighters ever. He went from Vargas, straight to Joppy, right to Hopkins. Like no chill with some lesser fighter in between. That will never be done by the fighters of today.
@@jcsuperstar4646 yeah Tito redeemed himself after the Oscar fight. He had a good year in 2000 at 154. Then went to middle weight. He was hot for that year and a half.
Tito was a beast, he was lanky and had power but boxed well too, one of the all time greats for sure. I was fortunate enough to watch all of his fights growing up. My first boxing match my pops took me to was the Tito v Mamadou fight, I was around 9-10 yrs old, it was me, my dad, and my great grandfather. It felt like we were back in PR, it was like the island came out to see Tito fight, I’ve never felt/seen support like that in any other sport that I’ve been too. Tito went out and dominated Mamadou that night, KO’d him in the third, just walked through him, an elite fighter in his prime on full display. I’ll never forget that night, the atmosphere, the crowd, the fight it is something cemented into my mind forever. That ended up being the year before my great grandfather passed and looking back I’m greatf my dad took both of us to go see that fight and share that experience together, it’s something that I’ll never forget

He developed that one particular punch... a high hook that he really slung out there. He didn't even throw it arched like a hook, but it was like swinging a steel rod in the air, or like a flail, and if the opponent didn't see it, it was a devastating blow that might just end the fight there... or the guy would be so hurt by it that he couldn't recover.
Above he was a Great Boxer, his Humbleness was and still is Extraordinary. He is the only one that stop Puerto Rico from doing anything to watch him, no one to the date has done that. He still The people Champion here 💪🏽🇵🇷
Si miras el historial de Trinidad verás que siempre enfrente a los mejores en sus mejores tiempo. Ningún peleador que enfrentó Tito era malo, todos estaban en grandes condiciones y los devoraba como quiera. Definitivamente uno de los mejores y grandes de la historia del boxeo!!!!
@@Lycano23Pues tampoco no se confirmó si Margarito uso yeso contra Cotto yo creo que eso eran excusas de Cotto porque salió noqueado y se tuvo que arrodillar como si estuviera rezando 🧎♂️
Wasn’t a fan of him at first but , his style and no nonsense changed my mind cause he truly was a non stop punching machine with a solid chin. Great fighter , much respect to him. Great heart !
The fact that Joppy is one of the coaches at my gym in MD, Everybody and their momma grew up with his family here in The DMV area and is really well known. It's a honor to be taught by him.
As a Mexican family growing up we always watched all of Tito’s fights. This man was legendary and I remember all of my uncles as a kid just respected this man’s talent and willingness to Fight! Legend for sure! The greatest Puerto Rican fighter I’ve ever seen. I really liked Cotto as well.
@@Herrera777 my brother went to my neighbor's house to watch the fight (neighbors were Puerto Rican). My brother said a few people were in tears after the knockout.
To be fair, this was in New York so there were a lot of Puerto Rican fans in the crowd. That being said, Tito was a crowd-pleasing fighter who didn't have a personality you can hate.
THE REASON ? Tito became a champion by not skipping anybody or cherry picking , he faced who evef was in front of him .just like Ali, today's boxers are a disgrace with all these cherry picking
Cotto fue bueno pero esta un poco por debajo de tito cotto cayo con algunos buenos tito vino a perder contra tipos muy grandes para el en su final de su carrera Roy Jon ,Bernard Hoskins etc etc
The extension Tito can achieve with his arms when throwing his punches is amazing. The combination of 4 shots in the first round is something hardly seen.
I did Not grow up watching Tito n his prime so All I can go by is old footage of Tito but dude was a BEAST. And I thought Miguel Cotto was Great.. Tito is on a whole other level. #Facts.
Tito had a huge HEART!! Gave it his all for us, that’s why we love him. Cotto actually has better skills than Trinidad but only had 1/4 the heart of Trinidad. Cotto vs Shane Mosley confirmed it for me.
yeah, he's deceptively fast and doesn't constantly do the same movements making it a nightmare for his opponents. Tito will will stand there half a second to a second then bob left then right... side step... then step into his opponent the whole time feinting jabs measuring distance and his opponent's reaction. On top of that he slips most of the punches and gets a few counter shots every round, turning defense into offense. And then he peppers those body shots as well... all of these factors in a smart fighter makes a perfect fighter.
@@austonsmith536 Yes! Felix had exceptionally fast hands (especially that left hook) and his punches were tight and pinpoint accurate. Wow! What a boxer.
its clear tito fights very differently than most american, mexican and even cuban boxers. not like a european either. so joppy never saw his punches coming.
Tito said that watching Denise winning MU crown the night before was an additional motivation for him. I remember what a national party there was at our Island!
Although iam Mexican I really admired Trinidad his class and humbleness made him a bigger better champion outside the ring than what he was inside the ring
One of the greatest! One out of two of my favorite boxers. Him and Tyson and both were active around that time and both were scary and energetic to watch! That was the golden era of boxing, all fights were made and there was nobody ducking each other!
one of the best periods, one of the most devastating left hooks in history. And lets talk about the stamina, top notch super human lungs. If is power match is body, it will be a bodybuilder, but somewhat he was gifted naturally with power and no one understands why. The loses, 1. Because of is weight it was not ideal for him and he never assimilated well 160 lbs, the other he like to help out other people, and in a lot of fights he skip training sessions in other to help people out in the communities.
People always talked about Tito’s left hook, but his true killer was that straight right over his opponent’s jab. Death blow as you see at 11:27. Joppy was trying to compose himself from that moment on. He was dazed and twitching his neck side to side. Wasn’t long after that he was dropped by the left.
The hate that this man gets its beyond believable ! Lol Tito was the man at his era period ! He always came to fight ! This hand wraps talks gets mad old ! People assuming shit without knowing , never used plaster ! For the hopkins fight it was extra gauze not damn plaster ... he lost cause that weight class wasn’t a smart decision , he lost against people who where light heavyweight at some point in theirs careers 🤦🏻♂️ ... and don’t tell me shit about delahoya fight cause that was oscar’s fault !
@@gufiaito69able idk..it wasn't because he didn't have power or the size to be a middleweight.. the aftermath of the Hopkins fight effected his career mentally in my opinion and he never seemed to be the same fighter .
I remember when this clown joppy beat a Duran the senior Panamanian citizen. he was jumping both hands in the air, got on the ropes yelling how great he was flexing his muscles.....people were looking at him like wtf? 😒.....he totally played himself by showing no respect towards one of the greatest fighter ever. that was the end of his career.....forgotten!
This was one of the best performance ever of Tito Trinidad. Definitely if he had not had that infidelity problem and trained well against Hopkin and would not have been intimidated he could have beaten Hopkin, even though his real weight was super welterweight.
Y de los 15 defensas 13 por la via rápida.....pero wilfredo gomez nose si fue en una sola división que iso 17 defensas oh fue en las dos divisiones que conquisto pero las 17 fueron por la via del cloroformo tambien.❤❤❤❤❤
Tito elevó el boxeo en los años finales de los 1990 hasta el . 2001. Tito dió las peleas correctas con sus oponentes para nosotros. En 147 y 154 nadie le ganaba ,ni le ganó a Tito.
tito in that TIME was the best champion of the world no doubt about that he kick everyone ass period the others guys they're good boxers but nothing like TRINIDAD TRINIDAD was superior fighter he took to school all those guys I don't care others opinion
Yeah Ok....like he took Oscar De La Hoya to school huh? Everyone took 2 things from that fight....it was Boring as shit....and Oscar was the more active and deserved the decision. Tito.....OVERRATED.
I remember watching this fight in high school ...i grew up watching all of titos fight its what introduced me to boxing being puertorican having so much pride cuz of him...but man i was worried this night i was like damn joppy looks bigger then him ... When tito knocked him out every 1 in the house went crazy .. Remember seeing that list to an was excited to see him work his way up to Jones ...but still greatest boxer in history to me love tito trinnidad peoples champ
tito is my all time fave fighter. he is an all time great he fucking went to war in all of his fights never boring unless its oscar and he runs from tito the whole fight but man they found msg was trinidads home stomping grounds. new york's puerto rican fan base just loved them some tito. man i miss the good old days of boxing.
No steven smith brought me here at all. Memories brought me here tito at his best he was a beast. Lost a 100 dollars on this fight joppy was lead to his own massacre that night. Lol never forget this fight Tito you will always be loved around the world for yr heart and dedication to this beautiful sport.
Billy McSwain Yea thankfully he came back and gave a classic fight with Mayorga afterwards... the best ppv mayorga fight was the Trinidad one and it was super exciting the example of what a ppv should be
My favorite favorite fighter of all time. Felix Tiiiiiiitooooo Trinidad. Shoulda stayed at 154 though. Bernard Hopkins was the king of the middle weight division during that time.
En ese tiempo trinidad en 154 libras era el mejor cuando subió a las 160 libras se enfrentó a lo mejor en ese peso Bernard hocking y ward canelo tiene suerte que nunca le tocó a esos dos boxeadores porque la historia era otra
So much fun and hype when Tito was winning like this. Even more so than when Canelo fights. Would have been great if Tito beat Hopkins. Remember watching this at a bar and getting management to stop the live band so we could listen to the fight.
I watched this LIVE with my dad , brother and uncle, as a kid.
This was BOXING. Still in the Golden era. Tyson was still an active and scary heavyweight. Nobody was ducking each other.! All the big fights were made..!!

El mejor de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 fue Trinidad sin dudas. 🔥💪🏼
EL MEJOR PELEANDO CON ESOS MUERTOS, JAMÁS ESTARÍA POR ENCIMA DE GOMEZ VENITE, Y CUEVAS
@@ernestofeliz222 Se escribe Benítez y quien es Cuevas?
Siempre va ser el mejor del mundo
@@ernestofeliz222 jajajaja y a quien le ganó Gómez? Tito derrotó mejores rivales que los de Gómez que solo le ganó a Zárate, Pintor y Laporte
@@jancortez5271 GOMO MO PELIO CON MUERTOS COMO WILLIAM JHOPY Y EL ARGENTINO QUE NI SU FAMÍLIA MO CONOCIA
William Sloppy after Tito left hook.
I was surprised he survived the 4th.
Credit to Joppy. He showed grit after those knockdowns but it wasn't enough.
This wuz my 1st live fight I attended, it wuz bananas dat nite glad I wuz there
Tito the best !!!!
USA!
@@JavMacHer Correction, Puerto Rico or Boricuaaaa!!!!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love these old tvko hbo fights
43:24 - unfortunately he was right. The 2 week delay after 9/11 didn't help Tito either. Still the best in my book 🇵🇷
I remember watching this fight in high school ...i grew up watching all of titos fight its what introduced me to boxing being puertorican having so much pride cuz of him...but man i was worried this night i was like damn joppy looks bigger then him ... When tito knocked him out every 1 in the house went crazy .. Remember seeing that list to an was excited to see him work his way up to Jones ...but still greatest boxer in history to me love tito trinnidad peoples champ
@12:37 White guy was amazed by the Yoppys naps that he was pulling them & Yoppy checked him! 😂🤣😂🤣
He's Hispanic
@@slidecounter5813 Hispanic, White, don't matter! He was amazed! 😂
People talking shit about he's hand wraps... he don't need that he use to have power righ and left... haters...the best ever puneta
Fuc u... u don't know that boxing is so courrpt ...theirs alit of things that go down behind closed Doors..🤣💩🖕
One of the best interview by Larry H.
tito is my all time fave fighter. he is an all time great he fucking went to war in all of his fights never boring unless its oscar and he runs from tito the whole fight but man they found msg was trinidads home stomping grounds. new york's puerto rican fan base just loved them some tito. man i miss the good old days of boxing.
You could out box Tito, but you couldn't trade with him. You rarely see a guy with that kind of power in both hands.
No steven smith brought me here at all. Memories brought me here tito at his best he was a beast. Lost a 100 dollars on this fight joppy was lead to his own massacre that night. Lol never forget this fight Tito you will always be loved around the world for yr heart and dedication to this beautiful sport.
This was the last time. His reign of terror ended after this. His next fight against Hopkins was defeat. One fight after that retirement
And then came back and beat mayorga and then lost to Wright and then came back again and lost to Jones Jr
Billy McSwain Yea thankfully he came back and gave a classic fight with Mayorga afterwards... the best ppv mayorga fight was the Trinidad one and it was super exciting the example of what a ppv should be
Yeah he went up to 170 to fight Jones who's a naturally bigger man. He lost to Hopkins though...
Shut your hating ass up
@@brendaamaya2445 they were both bigger than him.
My favorite favorite fighter of all time. Felix Tiiiiiiitooooo Trinidad. Shoulda stayed at 154 though. Bernard Hopkins was the king of the middle weight division during that time.
Who’s here after Crawford annihilated Spence?
Trinidad was known for his devastating left hook, but his right hand was also a weapon. Very underrated.
Pin point accuracy and power made him elite
Felix you are great 😃👍
Joppy had the heart of a Lion
One of the biggest mistakes Joppy made was standing directly in front of a puncher. You don't do that.
Cuenta la leyenda que todavía en en el 2021 joppy pregunta por la matrícula del camión que lo atropelló
😂😂😂💪🏽
Man this was the best day of boxing great fighter 👏 great fight one of the great one
En ese tiempo trinidad en 154 libras era el mejor cuando subió a las 160 libras se enfrentó a lo mejor en ese peso Bernard hocking y ward canelo tiene suerte que nunca le tocó a esos dos boxeadores porque la historia era otra
So much fun and hype when Tito was winning like this. Even more so than when Canelo fights. Would have been great if Tito beat Hopkins. Remember watching this at a bar and getting management to stop the live band so we could listen to the fight.
