Felix "Tito" Trinidad, coming off his recent decision loss to Roy Jones Jr, is considering the possibility of continuing his career. Speaking with Primera Hora, he’s convinced he did well enough against Jones to mull over the possibility of fighting again.
“There are a lot of fans that want me to continue fighting. They congratulate me on the fight. They stop me and tell me I fought a great fight, one the better fights I've given to boxing, and it was against a man who dominated the 175-pound weight division a few years ago. Jones said he was going to knock me out, but he couldn't. Jones said a lot of things, but I was well prepared," Trinidad said.
"I don't have a decision now. I'm a young, healthy person. I only have three losses. There are other boxers who were beaten more times, taken a lot more punishment and they continue."
Trinidad said his performance against Jones only proved that he's still the same fighter everyone remembers. He wasn’t looking to prove anything to his critics; he says the fight with Jones was something he wanted to prove to himself.
"I showed the world that Tito Trinidad is still the same fighter. I'm a five-time world champion that never chooses my opponents. In spite of being away from the ring for two-years and eight-months, I came back to fight one of the better boxers in the world," Trinidad said.
"I fought this fight for me, not to silence any critics, but I showed to the world and to Roy Jones, who had promised a thousand times that he was going to knock me out, but the fight went to a decision. I was knocked down, but I got up and I didn't run - I fought. I've never been a fighter who runs. I connected with my jab. I connected to the body. It was one of my better performances."
