Hey E.G. Long time no see. To answer your question, I think it's just a case of two boxing superstars (past their respective primes, granted), who could've met in the ring long ago but didn't. Honestly, and as unbiased as I can be, I was never keen on the idea of a Tito-Jones fight, 'cause IMO Tito's power does not translate well into the weights that Jones normally fights at. So when this fight came around, it was hard for me to be optimistic. But all fight fans who enjoyed watching Tito and Jones fighting in their primes were nostalgically hoping for some fireworks, I guess. As I said before, I thought Tito fought better against Jones than against Winky. But I knew his power at 170 would not faze Jones.
