I’m biased. Felix Trinidad is one of the first fighters I gravitated towards when I became a boxing fan. The Puerto Rican sensation was undoubtedly one of the hardest punchers of his era and I’m spoiled for choice as far as knockouts to show you.
This week’s Sunday Punch doesn’t quite align as an “On this day...” but it’s close enough. On December 2nd, 2000, Trinidad took on Fernando Vargas in a battle of undefeated junior middleweight champions. Trinidad held the WBA title, while Vargas was the IBF’s beltholder. An all-action thriller was expected and that’s what we got.
