For the first time in my life, Im going to be truly sad whoever wins.

Its not every day we get to see two former ATG's & P4P legends in Roy Jones jnr & Felix Trinidad face off at an advanced age & stage in their careers.
Both have seen better days, but I still get a tingle down my spine at the thought of this fight. However, I hold both in such high regard that I dread seeing either guy knocked out, & for the first time I would truly love to see a fight end in a draw.

However, Im picking Jones jnr to win to win as he looked awesome in his last fight, he rolled back the years & I just cannot see an inactive Trinidad being able to come straight back & win this fight. maybe if he had a tune-up to shake off the ring rust I would give him a chance, but hes jumping straight back in at the deep end & I cannot see how he will be able to catch Jones enough to either stop him or win on points.

So Im going for Jones jnr by 10th round stoppage. & then hopefully the winner fights the winner of Hopkins-Calzaghe.

I know its not really a subject about british boxing, but as I post here so much I wanted to ask the people here what they thought about this fight & the outcome first, as I dont really care about the general forum much.

 

Ach Strike, I supose I am just a wee bit emotional as I watched the HBO show building up the fight & I got the old lump in my throat watching these two ATG's ready to go at it, even though we know they have seen better days.
However, I cant help myself but my heart is falling into the trap of thinking RJJ is going to achieve something special once more before he retires, even though my brain is telling me that hes approaching 40 & will never recapture his glory years.
Boxing can **** you up though sometimes & something is telling me RJJ is going to have an 'indian summer' to his career & is going to beat Trinidad, & then beat the winner of Hopkins-Calzaghe!

I actually blame RJJ's downfall on his crazy decision to **** around with his weight, he should never have went up to heavy despite winning a title, & should never have came back down so quickly as his body couldnt handle the shock of the immediate weight loss & he lost something due to playing with his weight, & thats why he suffered shocking losses to inferior fighters like Tarver & Johnson. But now I feel he has levelled out & once again we are witnessing the 'old' RJJ, that being the lightning fast fighter he once was.

Yup, its my heart ruling my head & by Sunday morning I could be rueing my predictions, but you gotta put your neck on the line when the time comes.
Im on a winning streak with predictions here anyway, havent got one wrong in quite a while, so my gut instinct should serve me well once again:smoke

However, they say the last thing a fighter loses is his punch, & no-one could hit harder than a prime Trinidad! The way he destroyed Mayorga is still fresh in my mind... aah they may be past it, but this is still a good fight.
Im going to have to avoid the result though, & get a loan of the tape from my pal & watch it the next day... aah the life of a result dodger, must remember not to put on SKY sports news before I go round as those ****ers always broadcast the result:twisted:

 

It was the HBO build up I seen, my pal had it recorded. Hes a boxing collector who records everything he can get his hands on, I dont even ask him where he gets the stuff from anymore, I just go up & watch it!

It was funny seeing Tito with a different missus from the last one I remembered, he must have traded his old missus in for a newer one with less miles on the clock

 

RJJ to win late in the fight Jeff. Call me crazy, but I think RJJ has found his old magic again, & I think there are a few big wins left in him after this one!
I have a feeling RJJ is going to achieve something special in his late years, like Sugar Ray Robinson.
