El Nuevo Dia, a Puerto Rico news paper stated that a super fight between Felix “Tito” Trinidad and Miguel Cotto could happen in June at a catch weight between 158 and 164 pounds. Miguel Cotto has been looking to move to 154lbs anyways so a catch weight of 158lbs wouldn’t be much of a problem but it will be a nightmare for Trinidad. Trinidad weighed 160 when he faced Ronald Wright in 2005.Tito lost an embarrassing unanimous decision against Roy Jones Jr. last year at a 170lb catch weight.
So, before you start scratching your head, the story was just a prank to celebrate “Día de Los Santos Inocentes” the Day of Innocent Saints is equivalent to April Fool’s day, which we celebrate on April 1st.
Just like its counterpart, people play pranks and this was one of them.
