    Seems to be the case. I feel Jones is going to win he's been more active of late and even though he's not what he used to be I feel he still has enough to beat Trinidad. Tito has been off for a while so he's probably gonna have some ring rust and I think Jones takes advantage of that.

      The Average Super-middleweight Gives Felix Trinidad Hell, So Maybe They Chose Sparring Partners He Can Beat

        LMAO @ Trinidad being near the 170 weight. Wow. There's an accomplishment.

            It seems that Don Felix wanted to get spanish-speakers for gymwork.

            A couple of the guys that Floyd has used would be good. Daniel Edouard and Kofi jantuah.

              I also find it humorous how they're hyping Tito being in great shape because he's almost 170lb. I work with a Puerto Rican guy who won't stop telling me about it. Whether its 147,154,160 or 170, when has Papa Trinidad (or any trainer for that matter) ever said his guy wasn't in the best shape of his life?

              I think that Tito's sparring partner selection also points to the fact that his father is just a ****ty-ass trainer, and has always been. IMO he never seems to devise a good plan for Tito. He just assumes that Tito is going to be able to walk down everybody and knock them out. He really seems to think his son is that great, despite getting embarrassed by BHop, Winky and Oscar (yes, Oscar). This fight might be at the end of RJJ's career, but if he loses I think he stands to lose some serious all time P4P points.

                Couldn't have said it better somewhere myself. Good K coming your way.
