What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
Taking into account that Roy's not nearly as elusive as he was back in the day and that Tarver managed to land a left hook practically with his eyes closed. Lets assume that Tito does eventually land a clean left hook right on the button.
What will happen?
A. Jones falls flat on his ass and does not get up.
B. Jones legs wobble and he goes on a the retreat with Tito getting a wide UD or late stoppage
C. Jones is stunned but recovers and goes on to win a very cautious SD
D. Jones says "is that all you got?" walks through it like nothing and proceeds to batter Tito to get a wide UD or late TKO.
I would love it to be A but I think that is wishfull thinking. So I am leaning to C but would not be suprissed if it was D.
PS. How do you do the pole thing anyway?

Im not so sure it all depends where it lands on the chin on top of the head ect but all i know is Tito's power isn't going to be nowhere near as good as it was at Welterweight i think Jones still stop Tito in 11th round.
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
Im gonna go with C i dont think Roy has got over the 2 KO's he suffered and he knows one more loss and thats it. Tito will still have a lot of power behind his shots as he will have more weight behind them and he had a very hard puncher at WW. If Tito lands clean it will stun Roy and mentaly he will suffer and be very cautious and keep his distance.
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
I don't think anything.....I don't think Trinidad is dangerous as a puncher at 175....I think Jones will frustrate him.....just like Hopkins...The be able to do as he pleases...
Jones has not much left but this is all wrong for Trinidad...Size Style....Jones can hit a bit himself as well you know.........How will Trinidad react after being gone so long?
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
I'm thinking it's D...maybe they will both go down at the same time!
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
I agree this is the wrong fight for Tito and Roy will frustrate him all night, but if Tito lands a flush left hook early going then i think it will stun Jones and he will be come very cautious. Roy doesn't want to get hurt in the ring and he said it himself, thats why he wont go for the KO himself when he has the other guy in trouble.
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
Tito has no chance whatsoever. He'll either get knocked out in 7 or 8 completely onesided rounds or else hold on to lose a very lopsided decision.
I doubt he will even win a round.
Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosely would stand a better chance :-X
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
If Tito lands his best left hook Jones will go down like a card house, But I doubt it'll happen. I'm leaning toward A but there should be
E Tito doesn't land a big left hook in the whole fight.

I'm leaning towards
F Tito doesn't land a punch in the whole fight
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
Roy has felt real power but naturally bigger guys than Tito. 99% of the time he can take a good punch. I really cant see Tito hurting Jones...or being able to land a big left hook..
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
If Trinidad pees on his boxing wraps and gets them nice and wet, then he is going to knock Roy Jones out :)

I usually keep quiet with these types of comments in other forums but please lets not do the hand wraps argument here. There has never been any proof or any official complaint. Is there even an official hand wrapping procedure? All I know, all anyone knows is that Hopkins camp asked Tito to re wrap his hand (never understood why it was just one hand either) before one fight. He had three fights after that and two ended in KO. You would think if there was a complaint, someone would be looking for it in future fights right.
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
Tito has been out for to long and Jones will be able to stay out of the way on Titos big shots a easy UD win for RJ.

The answer to part of your question....Yes there is an official hand wrapping procedure.....There is a limit on how much tape you are allowed to use...( varies by organization and state).....Limit on Gauze ( same as before it varies).....Problem in thyat fight was too much tape....Tape is not to exceed gauze under any circumstances

Thanks for the info Daxx. News to me. My argument still stands though.
Re: What will happen when Tito lands a big left hook
I've said it in other threads, and I'll say it here:
I'm the biggest Tito fan there is, and I'm not happy at all about him taking a fight with Jones Jr.
1. Tito beat Joppy and Mayorga at 160, but lost to lopsidedly to Hopkins and Winky. If he couldn't dominate at 160, how can he be expected to dominate at 170?
2. Jones Jr. has fought at HW. No matter how lousy John Ruiz is, he still punches like a HW, and Jones Jr. must've gotten at least nicked by one or two punches. If he can stand in there with Ruiz, Trinidad's hooks shouldn't faze him too much.
3. Tito is going into this fight without tune-ups. Brave, to be sure... but not the best decision.
4. Jones Jr. may be on the downhill side, but he's still fast and slippery as hell. And his unorthodox style will make things even harder for Tito.
Hey don't get me wrong. I'll be cheering my lungs out for Tito. But my logical brain tells me chances are Tito's gonna be in for a long night. I'm thinking wide margin UD, rather than a KO.
