However, I think a true teller of the situation is the silence. Can you recall another Trinidad fight where his fanbase have been so silent?
Sure, they're there. When asked, they confirm their support for their guy, but they don't shout about it. I think silently they know Tito's best days were left way back when at 147 and I think they wish they could just cherish those great memories without this fight interfering.

Jones too is faded but his last couple of fights have displayed him altering his style to attempt to be succesful using the remainder of his natural physical abilities. Jones by UD.

This is a fight that is of no benefit to anyone in any way other than financially
CC Cuchulian. I'm a big Tito fan and you hit the nail in the head with your opening coments. Many of us fans of Tito and here in PR have mixed emotions on this fight. We are excited that our man is going back in the ring and we all have our hopes that he will be his old self. But deep down we all know it is all just wishful thinking. No matter what happends we know very little will come out of this come back.

I am one of the few here that thinks he should've never retired so young and in his prime after his loss to Hopkins. But after he did retire than it woul've been best if he stayed there. The shit he gets for the Wright fight is just unberable for us fans.

It does bother me though that he is put down so much lately. Wacko's opening statements talking about how Tito has never beat a good boxer with a good fight plan is just silly. What the heck was he doing throughout his career and his 15 title defenses as a welterweight? Fighting stiffs who just stood there and said come on and hit me?

I find most people that put him down have only seen him fight sinse he fought DLH. Which means they hardley ever really saw him at his very best.

Tito is a great fighter. And like any great fighter he has a good chance of winning any fight. It is not like Jones is in his 20s, heck, Jones is older than Tito. This will not be a mismatch. It will be a competitive fight and I expect it to be more entertaining than expected.

For all these guys have given us. I think they more than deserve us chuging out another $50. I will gladly pay and watch the fight and cheer my man Tito to the end.
