Trinidad vs.Wright Boxing Odds Information

On May 14th “Winky” Wright will be the 7th south paw to Face Felix Trinidad.


Trinidad has faced six southpaws in his career and has beat all six. Will Winky Wright be his seventh south paw victim?

Both Felix “Tito” Trinidad and Ronald “Winky” Wright hav made assurances of a victory, although Tito is predicting to use the dangerous south paw as a stepping stone to Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins. Promoter Don King took advantage of the momentum at the event to make annoucement for the inevitable Felix Trinidad vs. Bernard Hopkins rematch by both praising and challenging the undisputed middleweight champion.


Trinidad suffered his first defeat against Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins. In the finale of the Middleweight Championship Series, Hopkins knocked down Trinidad and stopped him at 1:43 of the final round before a stunned crowd of 19,075 in Madison Square Garden.

Both combatants can credibly argue being the hottest boxer in the sport today.

Three-time world champion Trinidad emerged from a 29-month retirement to electrify a packed house at New York’s Madison Square Garden, and the second-highest pay-per-view audience of the year, with a slugfest against former unified welterweight champion Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga on Oct. 2, which Trinidad won with a spectacular eighth-round technical knockout.

Trinidad (42-1, 35 KOs) has earned his status in large measure by never having walked away from a good fight, as evidenced by a seemingly endless list of tough opponents since 1999 including Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, “The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya, David Reid,“Ferocious” Fernando Vargas, William Joppy, Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins and Mayorga.


The question is, will Trinidad be “Wright” or wrong in agreeing to face Winky?

Wright defeated the gifted “Sugar” Shane Mosley to become the undisputed 154-pound world champion on March 13-and beat him again in an immediate rematch on Nov. 20-which catapulted him into the top five in “pound-for-pound” best boxer in the world lists.
Wright has also not lost a match in over five years.

Wright (48-3, 25 KOs), from St. Petersburg, Fla., is a southpaw known for his all-around boxing skills, who has been avoided by big-name opponents fearing his pugilistic prowess.


The first boxing star to agree to face Wright was a then-undefeated Fernando Vargas in 1999, who had knocked out every opponent he had faced, 17 in all. Wright was the sharper puncher and boxer throughout much of the fight and although many at ringside felt he won, Vargas slipped by with a majority decision win.
