    Was rewatching Trinidad vs Jones.

    I know that both were totally past it but it was actually a fun fight to watch. Anyone else like that one?

    if they would have let trinidad sr wrap his sons hands the way he wanted with tape on the skin to make his punches harder he could have had a chance.

        i was actually impressed how many body shots roy took from tito without even wincing once.....that fool was ripped....tito put a game effort and i feel roy never went in there to knock him out he knew without taking any major risks he would cruise to a points win....

          I remember all the controversy before the Hopkins fight started.

          But on the topic at hand yeah it was an entertaining fight

            I watched a RJJ fight but it was with James Toney (since he is popping up everywhere). It was a decent fight but you could see there was a huge speed difference in favor of Jones.

            I believe it was Atlas that commented that Jones makes some tactical errors but his speed and reflections allow him to get away with it but these days he can't get away with it.

                Offcourse,very watchable fight.

                Tito did good for the first 2 rounds but then Roy started to actually fight.The speed and size difference were immediately noticeabale.
                Roy really put on a good show that night.

                  in that fight .. i really become a fan of roy..

                  because if he wanted too.. he could have went for the kill and even hurt badly trindad and he didnt do it.....

                  much respect for jones.. for not hurting tito!

                    I liked that fight. It was entertaining. Roy practically hit Trinidad at will with the right hand lead. Trinidad put in a good effort but he could do nothing to hurt Roy and Roy just walked him down.
