Anyone in here giving Tito a chance?

I'm giving him more of a chance then Roy. With the exception of him going up in weight, what's wrong with him? I know he got blown out by Winky Wright a couple of years back, but Winky has done that to a lot of people. In my opinion Roy has taken way much more abuse and should thus be more of a shot fighter.

 

nope

 

...I will be waiting for you on fight night to tell me I was right and you were wrong. Tito may lose some of his power, but Roy is the kind of guy you can knock out with a pillow case.

 

He can only win on a lucky punch. Tito is way too predictable and will most likely get undressed by RJJ.

 

If I am wrong, then I of course will admit I am wrong after the fight. However, he has to legitely beat Tito, not turn the fight into a track session and hit him with a jab occasionally to win the rounds.

 

He was struggling to make 147, but 170 for christ sake?

The alarm bells should be ringing for Tito fans

 

Cause it's boxing.

 

These days virtually ANY decent fighter has a chance against Roy. I wouldn't say it's a great one, but it's there. If Tito clips him on that now-shaky chin, it could go his way.

 

A couple of years ago I would have said this was a mismatch in Jones' favor.
He has diminished to the point where I think Tito wins.

 

Left hook.

 

Hell no.

 

Anythings possible but I think this is a complete physical mismatch in terms of speed,size,strength,abilty,power,activty for RJJ.

 

quoted for the truth, ayatollah. imo tito's chances also hinges on rjj's ability to make the catch weight. rjj's around 37 or 36 right now, at that age you got to wonder if his body can handle the water draining. roy could come in feeling dehydrated come fight night. he's got no legs now, and the fatigue/de hydration etc... could compound that, turning him into more of a sitting duck on the ropes. rjj best defence has always been his reflexes, but with that gone tito can unload on him on the ropes. draining weight multiplies his chin problems as well, giving tito a hell of a good shot at KTFO rjj. tito imo has a good 5 rounds to try and take rjj out, before the extra weight and long time inactivity shows in his conditioning/stamina.

 

I give him a chance as much as I give Roy, both are shot to be honest and anything is just possible here. Roy said it best when he claimed that the first one to land big takes it.
Will definitely be rooting for Roy and hope he just stops after this one.
