Who knew Hopkins could take this opportunity and not only flatten the arc
of Trinidad's career but also supply his own with the kind of majesty few
athletes ever enjoy? Before a largely hostile crowd of 19,075 at Madison Square
Garden, Hopkins thoroughly worked over Trinidad, nullifying his left hook,
beating him to every punch and then, for an emphasis that had fans and foes
alike roaring in appreciation, dropping him in the 12th round with a near
perfect right
hand.
