Thread: Can I get a sneak peak of your predictions for the Trinidad Vs Jones fight

I think I am going to be in the minority here but I am taking Tito in this fight. Don't get me wrong I know he's been away from the ring for a couple of years and will be rusty, but I just think Jones is too far gone. I still can't understand why this fight was made but I am a fan of boxing so I will watch it.

Tito only wins if Roy's chin fails him.

End of story


Tito's only chance in hell of winning that fight is landing a huge shot on Roy's chin that has him stunned/and or knocked out.

And I'm not going to even attempt to entertain that Tito could win the match any other way. Thats why I probably won't get the fight because I really don't want Roy to be the one to lose to Tito of Hopkins and Wright who had their way with them.

If Roy the mot talented of them all lost to Tito and was the only one to..it would ruin this part of his legacy(not really because it would prove he's beyond shot but people would make it seem that way)

This in no way will ruin either fighters legacy, and let me tell you both fighters are already 1st ballot HOF

If Tito wins,I'd be shocked,and I'm saying this as a HUGE fan of both fighters. Tito was small at 160,RJJ must look monstrous at 170. I'm going for Roy by stoppage. He's still fast and surely has pop left. The only thing I can think of is that if RJJ comes in weight drained,Tito may win or if RJJ gets tagged,and hurt,he ay go into a shell and try to survive v Tito as he did v Tarver,which was fricking embaressing imo.

Trinidad by knockout.

roys my all time fav and tito's in my top 5 but i can't for he life of me figured out how in the hell does roy figured this fight against an out of shape inactive WW at 170 will prepare him for a (however slim) possible fight with calzaghe

Roy jones UD

Jones by TKO in the 11th.

I think Roy will win just because Tito has been inactive for too long.

But Like I told my brother yesterday, if I had some money I would put it on Tito given that he will probably be a huge underdog and he does have a good shot of winning. Roy's style will hurt him on this fight. He does'nt jab and he takes too much time off in the ring. His reflexes are not what they use to be and this will cost him if he keeps those hands low. If he is not carefull he might fall behind and maybe get caught with big shots when he tries to make up for it.

But it is Tito's inactivity and ring rust that will most likely save Jones from this happening. I've said it many times, the weight won't be a big problem for Tito. I would be more worried for Jones coming in weight drained given that he has not gone bellow 175 in over 10 years. Tito's power will still be there. It is false that he had no power at 160, his three wins there were by KO. The only question is, how long will it take him to shed all that ring rust? and will it be too late when he does?

for me to see Roy making 170 he has to be in super shape.
And a Roy Jones in Super Shape against a blown Tito.

Well I just can't see Tito carrying enough power up to 170.

Jones is still crafty even at this advanced age and he boxes very well off the back foot. This is ideal against the ever aggresive Trinidad and I feel that Roy may be able to potshot him (the days of 6-7 punch combos are gone!) on his way to a UD

I would think Jones by stoppage.

The only thing Tito's got going for him is that Jones doesn't have the legs to move for 12 rounds, that's why he just lays against the ropes so much. Maybe Tito can land something while he's up against the ropes, other than that I would think Jones has pretty much every advantage, bigger, faster, more active, on and on.

Im hedging my bets here,Jones is spent,but is Tito?
He hasnt once looked like Tito since Hopkins ripped his guts out,he allways looks confused and afraid now.
Can he find his way back?

This is bad news for Tito.Unless Jones comes in completely deflated Tito may have a chance,but I am going with Jones by an easy decision.
