Tito-DLH II Nothing More Than A Dead Issue
After speaking with Don Felix Trinidad Sr. for over an hour, Boxingtalk can be the first to assure you that Trinidad-De La Hoya II is DEFINITELY NOT an option for Trinidad. In fact it's not even a discussion. According to Papa Trinidad, "Tito will be embarrassed fighting a guy who lost his last three fights! What can a guy like that do for Tito's legacy in boxing? We're not here to rip the fans off, we appreciate our fans and the people who spend their hard earned money to watch these fights. Why should we defraud the public for a guy that basically quit?" Members don't want to miss what else Papa Trinidad had to say in tomorrow's exclusive interview. Remember when Don Felix talks, "it's the same as Tito Trinidad speaking," as Tito recently told Boxingtalk.com. Last but not least, Remember where you heard it first!

Although most thought he deserved to lose, De la Hoya was credited with a win over Felix Sturm in his second-to-last fight.]
