Roy Jones JR v Tito Trinidad who you got im Backing against Roy unfortunately in this fight he is WAY past his prime ,i dont care how good a Boxer RJJ is & how agricultural people think Tito is he is a beast of a fighter & has tremendous power at any weight IMO & if Roy is gonna try & knock Tito out then i dare say he is gonne put himself in range for Tito to hit him back & Roy maybe stil be lightning Quick but his reflexes are considerably slower
Tito by Brutal ko inside 5 rounds ,another thing Roy cannot Keep his back fom hitting the ropes he still did it against Hanshaw in his last fight & Hanshaw actually hurt him momentarily when he had him pinned on the ropes
Tito wont just hurt him if he gets him on the ropes & he will have watched Glen Johnson ,Tarver , victories over Jones & u can bet your life that is gonna be one of Tito's tactics
people are pinning their hopes on a Roy KO its possible but i can only see a brutal Tito victory
Ok power doenst really go away as you move up. There were plenty of fighters that went up in weight and still had power. Hearns, Roy, Tito. All moved up and there power moved up with them. Tito has power and stamina going for him. I still cant believe people really think that Roy is going to blow Tito out. When was the last time Roy blew anyone out?..Face it he is a shadow of what he was..this aint the same Roy that beat Ruiz. He fights in spurts now. Yes he has flashes of the old Roy but thats it..he cant maintain that tempo the whole fight. Im not saying that Tito or Roy will get blown out..all Im saying is that its going to be more competitive than people think. And I got to go with Tito cause im a Tito fan. If this were to have happened back in 2001..Roy would of ran Tito over like a Mack truck..but this is not the case today.
Okay... we'll see how much power Tito has at 170. I think you are going to be pretty surprised when his punches don't do anything to Jones.
And guess what... Jones is a hell of a lot bigger than Reid and Joppy.
Power goes away when you move up.
Tito has moved up a BUNCH of times.
Tito doesn't have a whole lot else going for him other than power, so...
Jones KO or wide ass UD, probably KO.

I dont think size is a factor here..Everyone is bigger than Tito, Ried, Joppy those guys were diesel like Roy muscles and size dont mean much especially if your not going to use it. The last thing Roy wants to do againts Tito is try to over power him that will put him righ in Tito's wheel house. If Roy had looked better in his previous fights I would say that Roy is going to win, but his stamina looks suspect to me.

I got that tattoo on my arm lol. I say this i gotta go with Tito he is my all time favorite..but I am picking......with my brains here :) Tito hasnt absorbed punishment much in his career. I think he will be fresher in this one he is a young 35 and doesnt rely much on his skillz as he does the power. Late round stoppage. I never bet before but who ever wants it I got 10k on trinidad. As long as he uses his basic jab he will catch him with the right.

The more I think about the fight there better I think its going to be. Im saying Tito is going to win this fight. If Roy cant put Tito away early Tito will KO Roy. Since this Roy likes to take breaks and Tito just keeps coming looking for the KO.
Trinidad's highest previous weight: 160
Roy's lowest previous weight: 160
Is it just me, or is Roy just gonna be way too fucking big for Tito?
Roy KO's his ass.
The only way Roy loses is if he has to sweat too much to make weight. That's why I'll make my pick after the weigh in. If Roy looks fresh at 170, he should dominate Trinidad.
Roy takes him out in round 3.
I feel this will be a fight after the 1st couple rounds Roy will do it whenever he chooses.. he will feel him out for a round at 2.. but prety much score at will..
like come on.. this is a guy that won the heavyweight title from a guy over 220 lbs.. now he is fighting a coming back from retirement guy who is a natural 147??
dont get me wrong.. jones was around 154 in his 1st couple fights.. but he is still the bigger man..
Jones by KO in 3..
knocks tito down twice.. but tito wont get up the 2nd time.. thats my prediction.
Trinidad is my 3rd favourite fighter ever behind Tyson and Joe Louis but lets get real - He's digressed into a 1 dimensional banger, and a "banger" whos power is yet untested at the weight and against the biggest man he's ever faced. he hasnt fought since he was outclassed by Winky and if u ask me just wants to be a bit richer and back in the spotlight, perhaps jealous of Miguel Cotto where as Jones seems like he Really wants to get back on top! Jones' win over Hanshaw was under appreciated imo btw, he has recent wins over decent fighters which is more than Felix can say. Clearly Niether is the fighter they were. Could still be a good fight tho! :boxing:
Jones by mid to late stoppage
Im picking Tito to win by late KO, I think alot of people are underestimating him & I think Roy has still lost a bit of his reflex's. But I'm still a realist and see how Roy has more of the advantage here. I guess we'll see. Should be an exciting fight non the less. Tito moving foward and Roy moving around being Roy.
judging by their last ring appearances gonna have to go with roy by UD or even late ko. Plus tito hasnt fought in what like 2 years? that ring rust and stuff can really effect a fighter dont care how much he has trained he hasnt fought so that has effect him some....Dunno i really just am looking forward to a great fight and great proformance by both fighters..
