The Big Picture: Felix Trinidad vs. Pernell Whitaker

---

Looking to cash in on a shot at WBC Welterweight Champion Oscar De La Hoya, IBF Champion Felix Trinidad takes on all-time great Pernell Whitaker. Whitaker brings the fight from the opening bell, but Trinidad puts him on the seat of his pants with a straight right hand in the second round. Trinidad goes on to land a higher percentage of shots on Whitaker than any prior opponent and has him hurt in the eighth round. Whitaker makes it to the final bell but loses a wide unanimous decision as Trinidad turns his attention to De La Hoya.
