Roy and Tito tour ESPN, spend 4 days together

Five-time world champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad and eight-time world champion Roy Jones Jr. spent all day at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, on Tuesday promoting their upcoming match dubbed "Bring on the Titans" set for January 19 at Madison Square Garden and on HBO Pay-Per-View. Roy appeared live on the morning show "First Take" with host Dana Jacobson, went over the day's "Hot List" with David Lloyd and paricipated in an online chat. Tito taped a interviews for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes and also chatted with fans online. ESPN staffers created huge lines for a 90-minute autograph signing in the ESPN employee cafeteria by Jones and Trinidad. In all, Trinidad and Jones spent four days in each other's company starting Saturday at a press conference in New York City, followed by several media engagements in Miami before the final leg in Connecticut. Although all smiles in photos, things were getting a bit testy between the two toward the end. Jones headed back to Pensecola on Tuesday and Tito returned home to Puerto Rico on Wednesday. http://www.fightnews.com/roytitotour1.jpg http://www.fightnews.com/roytitotour3.jpg http://www.fightnews.com/roytitotour2.jpg Anyone know where I can see these ESPN clips at? We hardly ever get to see boxers on ESPN like this.

Roy on First Take, "Tito got to go in fo'" He predicted a fourth round KO and talked about the Kim/Mancini fight. Talked about going into the ring knowing he could kill or be killed in a fight.

i've always stated roy will win most rounds,i love roy too but ,man i watch the glen johnson fight,and that punch didn't even look that hard and he just... fell.hard.i think tito has a punchers chance for as long as it lasts. Glen's right hand is deceptively powerful, plus he hit Roy right on the temple...Roy's head slammed into the ground as well. Also, you have to remember, Roy was recently concussed by Tarver at that time. He should not have even been in a ring so soon with post-concussion syndrome.

tito is good on the weight he's been doing some crazy training and marathons and shit. Really what kind of training aside from marathons? As far as Roy going to 168 to take Joe's titles...no way. Roy does make sure to be in good shape, but he is older. His stamina and physical skills only lessen from here on out and if Roy fought Joe he would benefit by making the fight at 175, where he can have some more 'umpf'. We can all dream though.

Roy already looks slim and fit. Tito looks pretty good as well actually. i think roy is going to make weight comfortable and I hope Tito will come in looking big and muscular and not like a skinny-framed man who has too much flab on him.
