Roid Jones will most like win by TKO or decision, still, it is all about who lands the big punch first.

What is the official tally on the number of times an over the hill fighter has to get humiliated in the ring before they will finally go away for good?

Tito by a close decision. Jones will have a hard time making 170 pounds and it will show in the fight. He will not be sharp and he will tire out soon. Jones will be very defencive, he will fight in spurts and try to nicj the rounds with 2-3 flurryes every round. Trinidad will be active and outwork Jones. He won´t have the power at 170 to really hurt Jones, but he will do enough to win. Just like in the De la Hoya fight.

I can´t belive that I am the only one so far to pick Tito on points.

I think you are 1/2 ways correct. I dont see RJJ in there getting brave with his glass jaw. He's going to BOX the way he always does for the first 4-5 rounds. He may even win them.

Now, if Tito Trinidad, and Papa Trinidad have done their homework, and studied tape of RJJ, the three Tarver fights, the gorgeous Glencoffe Massacre, and the Prince Balu fight, and the Hanshaw, they should know enough that PRESSURE is the key to beating Roy's overrated and aging ass inside that ring. It is no longer 1994. The RJJ that destroyed my idol James Toney is but a memory. What is left is a 170 pound guy who easily gets bulled/bullied into the ropes and covers up, while waiting to throw a counter shot the way he did to the weak ass Hanshaw in the 11th was it? If Hanshaw had anymore power than a stripper at Scores, he could have hurt RJJ with body shots and shots landed through the gloves, like Tarver did.

Roy is at his best when he is on his toes, circling, and landing a fast right or left, thrown while his hands are held low. Good power, but not enough to stop Trinidad. Winky was able to school Trinidad, but couldnt hurt him. Tito cannot counter Roy, as Roy, even an old ass Roy is still very quick, but Roy's reflexes arent what they used to be, and he is not as quick defensively as he once was.

Tito should start bulling his ass into the ropes as of the 1st round, and staying away from the center of the Ring, or he will find himself getting beaten to the punch, like he did against Wright. Instead, he needs to keep it on the ropes, and while not punching himself out, inflict as much damage to the body and through the gloves as possible. Tito should fight hard the beginning and end of the rounds, and avoid the center of the ring for the 2nd minute. Hell, he may be able to land a lucky left hook before 4, but I doubt it.

Eventually, the constant Trinidad pressure, the body blows, and the strain of fighting off the ropes will catch up to old Roy. Roy's legs and stamina will pull an Oscar, and he will start to tire about the 8th. By the 10th, Trinidad should be able to land clean with an ugly left and we have Glencoffe part 2.

Trinidad KO RJJ, 2:34 of round 10. Ref stops the fight at the count of 6, when RJJ looks like someone shot his ass at the Circle K at 4 in de mo'nin. :hi:

I agree that pressuring RJJ might lead to success but the thing is, Tito carries no power at this weight and even if he lands shots, it might not do much. I mean Tito couldn't even hurt Winky. It was as if Tito was fighting a much larger man.

Again, i agree that pressuring RJJ is Tito's best shot as he would get destroyed if he just boxed RJJ. But the thing with RJJ in his past few fights was that he was timid and didn't throw back when he was pressured. But that changed in the Hanshaw fight. He showed that he still has blazing speed and can put together combinations when he is against the ropes if he decides to throw.

I'm hopking for a RJJ KO and i'm sure he could easily get it if he decided to go after it but it would not shock me one bit if it was a UD because RJJ won't be aggressive.

Jones by mid to late round TKO.

Trinidad hasn't ever fought above 160, has only had 2 fights in nearly six years and looked a shell of his former self against Wright. In my mind it would be a monumental feat for Trinidad to see the final bell.

ChrisPontius · Jan 16, 2008

Roy is old, but too big. He'll KO tittie inside 8.

Tito Time · Jan 16, 2008

BANK ON IT!!! TITO WILL WIN!!! You guys can write that in stone for me!
