    Even in a loss Tito did look better than most predicted and Roy was just bigger and faster.

      If only Tito can make 154, he's be a titlist. At that weight his power would still be dangerous.

        Tito fought very good IMO.

        Body work was good, but also remember that he came off of a three year layoff.

        Props to Tito, but I think he will hang them up. Or even fight ONE more time. I don't know who he going to fight tho....

          Tito did very well. I'd like to see Tito fight again at 154 if he could. If Tito wants it, he can do it.

            I actually was surprised of how good he took roy's punches. He got hit on the tempo and was floored, the second knockdown was more of a slip but a jab connected so it was counted as a knockdown. Props to tito for taking such a dangerous opponent. The scoring was ridiculous though.

              He barely made 170! You can forget about him ever weighing 154 again.

                I predicted Tito by decision and thought I was a genius after three rounds! Haha, then Jones sort of raised the level of his game. I imagine we'll see Tito-Oscar in December now. I think Trinidad acquitted himself very well but I wonder if against an opponent other than Oscar if he's a viable big time PPV attraction now. I thought he fought a very smart fight last night and he showed that he was a skilled fighter himself. It became sort of a myth that he was a crude boxer just because he lost to great technical fighters in Hopkins and Wright.

                  give him a longer training camp, and im sure he could knock offa couple of pounds

                  I'd still like to see Trinidad again .. even vs Jeff Lacy

                  after a fight like that (vs Jones), I just wanna see Tito go out with a win

                  after the first knockdown it really looked like Trinidad would be stopped. so I give him tremendous credit for showing heart, gutting it out, and not embarrassing himself

                  he still got outclassed, but he deserves credit for getting dropped twice, surviving and making the fight entertaining.

                    Someone in another thread suggesteds Trinidad-Duddy. Can you imagine that at the Garden. You know Cotto isn't fighting on the eve of Puerto Rican Parade day at NYC. That fight at the Garden would be insane......

                      the only reason I said Lacy is because of the weight issue

                      but yeah put Tito in vs a puncher. it'll be more entertaining, more winnable

                      and overall more enjoyable.
