I'm probably the only person on the board who is looking forward to this.
I don't think so .......I don't really see this as that bad of a fight, and by the time all the b.s. staged fights at press conferences, trash talking and i hate him he hates me theatrics are done,they may even get some of the casual fans to buy in as well because of the names.
I have mixed emotions but I am definitely looking forward to it.Quote:

I wouldnt mind seeing Tito win,(anyone else think he was drunk in that video?)but I'm dreading a RJJ win, which is most likely at this weight. I'm just waiting for RJJ to start blabbering that he's the greatest because he beat a future HOF fighter....I think his problem is that he really believes Don King when he's in his ear telling him he's the King and greatest right now P4P.Quote:

Tito was a good puncher up to 154, but anything above he doesnt have the power or skills to match RJJ, Hopkins, Wright, Tarver, or whoever which is why he should stay retired.
CC Boom Boom. Roy is to big for Trinidad and we will have same outcome as the Hopkins fight.Quote:

I'm sure we are talking of different Trinidad's: Campas (56-0 ~50KO), Carr, Whitaker, De La Hoya, Reid, Vargas, Joppy, and I may be missing some other names on his 42 victories and only 2 losses with 35 KO. But, it seems that in your book Tito fought 2 times in the last 7 years.Quote:

LMFAO
WTF?? Is this hahahahahaha, this is sad obviously Tito has run out of cash, even a shot RJJ will beat Tito quite easily especially at 170, Tito was a small 160lb imo, RRJ easy win.
On another note i heard theres a couple of crackers on the undercard.
Chevez v Whittaker at 175
Naz v Toney at Heaveyweight
Should be a good night of boxing :o
No way was that RJJ on the phone he just accepts Tito saying hes going to knock you out?? Im quite sure that wasnt Roy.
That's what i thought, Roy would have jumped out of the phone itself after Tito said that!Quote:

Nothing against the guy, I always liked watching him fight but as far as skills go he cant compete with the elite above 154 imo cause you take his power away he has very little to go on at this point in his career though he does have heart... and a decent chin, maybe not at 170 though.Quote:
