    Honestly? I'm bored and having nothing better to do.

    I love watching fights with my comrades. Sit around the TV, drink beer, watch a fight, talk ****, whatever. Good times.

    At first I was against it, but then I thought, well, we can NOT order the fight and the chances of us being entertained by a great fight are zero, but if we order the fight, the chances will be much higher!

    That's my logic.

    Never was a TRUE fan of Roy Jones and I've always disliked Trinidad. They are both way past their primes and the fight is nearly completely irrelevant. However, I said that about Mayorga/Vargas too and I had a blast watching them fight.

      It's funny how you always hear about "fantasy fights", and who would win between so-and-so, and what if a certain fighters from different weights fought each other, or even saying who is p4p....old timers or new generation. Here we have just that!!! WHO" is better....Trinidad or Roy Jones Jr???

      Ay, better late...than hearing "WHAT IF".

        Im a strange guy, I prefer the "what if" angle if the two fighters cannot meet in their primes. Prime for prime is the only way to have it truly settled, but I think Roy takes him then, now, and 10 years from now rather easily.

            I'll watch it on Sopcast, but Im not interested enough in it to purchase it. Im saving some money so in the next two months I can get Pavlik/Taylor 2 and Pac/Marquez 2.

              I can't decide which fight I'm more amped about. I'm picking Pavlik and Marquez respectively, but they could go either way. Jermain may come in as a beast with a hunger we've never seen before and jump Kelly early. And Pac could likely produce a carbon copy in the first round against Marquez that he did years ago.

                If you're fans of either fighter, you would buy it regardless. Like me.

                Its only 50$

                  This question isn't applicable for me, being that Setanta has this one covered. Looking forward to it, even though ah'ma be up 'til the small hours.

                    Honestly. I've been gone a while and haven't posted much (if at all) in the last month, but what's the draw of this fight? Both fighters have aged well past their point of prime, with Jones having lost 3 of his last 5 fights, two of which were devestating knockouts.

                    Trinidad has also lost 2 of his last 4, and hasn't been on level of an active fighter since 2002, coupled with a nearly 3 year layoff, advancing age, and a body that's been doing more weight gaining than weight lifting.

                    So what's the draw? I honestly can't see why so many people here are excited to see this garbage. 7 years ago it would've been an amazing fight, now? The outcome can be only one of two possible scenarios : Roy potshots and counters his way to a boring 12 round decision (forget that "Im'a knock him out in 4" ****) or Trinidad lucks up and catches Roy's scrambled brains with a lucky shot and ends his night.

                    "Bring on the Titans" my ass. I'm much more excited about Klitschko/Ibragimov. Surely I can't be the only one? This is just a nostalgia fight at it's cire, right?
                    Not much boxing in the past month. If a 4-fight Don King card with some names from the past won't tide you over til Pavlik-Taylor II, then wait a month to spend some money.

                      So you can see Jones standing over Tito saying "welcome to my world boy!"
