Felix Trinidad vs. Winky Wright

Saturday, May 14. Live on Pay-Per-View from MGM Grand, Las Vegas.

The world's best 154-pound boxer, Winky Wright, who has never been knocked out,
moves up to middleweight to battle one of the best knockout artists ever in
Puerto Rican superstar Felix "Tito" Trinidad at MGM Grand Garden Arena and
on HBO Pay-Per-View on Saturday, May 14.

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.

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 abilities, 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.

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?
