As I've rewatched the Tito-Jones fight afew times, it's no secret Jones took Winky's highguard defensive style into the ring with him. He kept his arms held up high to the side to block his head from hooks just as Winky did effectively. I mean, you go 12 rds commentating on your opponent prior to actually facing him, it should give you some ideas how to beat him with 2 other knowledgeable guys at your sides also giving ideas. I think Jones should go back to commentating though, he really knew his shit. :boxing:
Roy andWinky are both Florida cats that know each other pretty well. I don't think Roy blatantly copied that style from Winky when he used it in some fights, but I've thought the same thing.
I agree..
He was very good.
I'd love to see a fight called with just Jones, Hopkins, and Wright. Those 3 would be very entertaining and they know their boxing.
I never liked RJJ until he fought Tito. Tito put up a fight but Jones acted very professional during the press conferences eventhough he was put through some corny ass shit in PR. He actually went to the Stupid show "La Comay" Boricuas check it out. It's in Spanish be warned of the corniness
True, but he also started to use that guard in his 2 previous fights.
He was the best commentar hbo had
Most fighters watch tapes of their next opponent, so maybe it didn't make a difference.
