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.
