Trinidad vs Slavinskyi Prediction: Omar Wants to Make It 13 Knockouts
Omar Trinidad Preview
The newly proclaimed “King of L.A.” returns to action after another exceptional performance earlier this year. The 28-year-old California native has fought only 16 times in his professional career but has already built a reputation for himself among local fans.
To say the least, he is doing everything the right way. Most young boxers choose the easy way, fighting weak opponents to build a solid record. Omar has been fighting good boxers and showcasing his ever-improving skills with confidence. He is dedicated to becoming better every day and has no interest in building his image on social media.
With 15 wins in 16 fights (1 Draw) and 12 knockouts, he deserves to be on your list of future stars. Curiously, his only draw came on his debut in 2018 in a short 4-round clash. Since then, Trinidad has finished almost every opponent he met, including 7 of the last 8.
Most recently, Omar defeated Jose Perez by 8th round knockout in January 2024. This triumph won him his first belt – the WBC Continental Americas Featherweight title.
Facing Viktor Slavinskyi will be a serious test for his skills but he is used to taking big steps forward. Let's look at his opponent before we give our final Trinidad vs Slavinskyi prediction.
Viktor Slavinskyi is a 33-year-old Ukrainian boxer who now resides in Los Angeles, California. Despite his considerable age, he began fighting just a year earlier than his opponent and has almost the same number of fights – 15-2-1.
Overall, the Ukrainian has had some interesting encounters over the last few years. He has faced both regular journeymen and gatekeepers, and high-ranked opponents. He went undefeated in his first 13 bouts, winning 12 and getting one draw.
Then in early 2022, he faced former WBA Interim World Featherweight champion Claudio Marrero. Next, he faced Edward Vazquez, who recently challenged for the IBF World Super Featherweight title and lost. These two fights combined show how experienced Slavinskyi is and even though he lost, these fights proved his resilience. Both matches ended with decisions.
Since then, Slavinskyi managed to bounce back with two confident wins. He defeated Juan Antonio Lopez in April 2023 and then knocked out Darel Harris in December. He has not fought since then, which could be a slight problem against the active Trinidad.
Our Omar Trinidad vs Viktor Slavinskyi Prediction: Omar Takes No Prisoners
This will be an interesting clash and there is a clear betting favorite. Omar Trinidad is the local rising star and will have the support of anyone in the room. He is also the better boxer and should be able to win this one comfortably.
Viktor Slavinskyi has seven knockouts to his name but he has never been known for his knockout power. His only advantages lie in his experience and the fact that he has fought 10 full rounds before. He is used to long matches and has good cardio.
Nevertheless, we have to side with the “King of L.A.” for our Trinidad vs Slavinskyi prediction. Omar is faster and more powerful, not to mention a lot more active in recent times. After winning a green WBC belt, he can start thinking about getting bigger fights and climbing the ranks, and the only way to do it is by knocking out Slavinskyi.
