Cool Winky ruins Trinidad return
Wright delivered a defensive but lethal display to down Trinidad
Winky Wright ruined Felix Trinidad's return from retirement defeating the three-time world champion by a unanimous points decision in Las Vegas.
Trinidad went into the bout favourite but the Puerto Rican had no answer for Wright's tactics and hefty punching.
The Florida southpaw took the early initiative and slowly unravelled Trinidad with his powerful left jab.
There was no title at stake but Wright could now tempt world middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins.
Wright became the undisputed superwelterweight champion after twice beating Shane Mosley last year but he went one better by beating Trinidad on his first bout at middleweight.
The 33-year-old inflicted a second career-defeat on Trinidad, who came out of his two-year retirement last October.
"Tito" has won titles in all three weight classes but he was not able to use his experience against Wright at the MGM Grand.
Wright kept up a solid defence throughout the 12 rounds, smothering Trinidad's best efforts while counteracting with his own powerful jabs.
The judges handed the southpaw a 120-107 119-108 119-108 decision to see him improve his record to 49-3.
And while Wright may now try and negotiate a fight with Hopkins, Trinidad will be left to decide whether to make Saturday's fight his last.
