    Well since i've always disliked tito (don't ask me why i just don't) i'm not afraid to see him get kayoed....in fact i'm actually counting on that or a UD but i'm also looking forward to Elio Rojas' fight since i'm Dominican so i might be a lil biased in his fight.

    Anyway...my prediction......RJJ KO or UD

    No TKO because tito doesn't have that much of a chin but at the same time neither does Mr. unstoppable.

    Steroidless Jones wont be a pyhysical wonder anymore, no doubt too many questions about this fight, not sure which one will prevail. I see many possible scenarios but there are too many unknowns. I really dont know, this fight might end up a load of **** its 50/50 leaning toward load of **** for me right now hope Im wrong.

    It's really a matter of whose the least shot fighter.

    Tito is coming off a ridiculous lay off, going up two weight classes and facing a much more active fighter in RJJ.

    On the other hand, Roy Jones isn't even close to a shell of his former self. Often times he seems content to just lay on the ropes, counter and eat up time.

    Roy is always in good shape, Tito always maintained a solid workrate so I don't see a clinchfest happening.

    I think Roy wins a close decision...but I also think he'll eat canvas at some point. To be frank I think they both trade knockdowns.

    if tito has a punchers chance why is it when mayorga put his chin out 2 times for him as if to say give me your best and tito couldnt even knock down mayorga with 2 of his hardest punches he had.?mayorga just mocked him and danced in front of him as if to say you cant punch ****.even thogh tito won it showed hes no big puncher ,look how hopkins dominated him before laying him out cold.and its very rare to see hopkins knocking any1 out like that .

    I agree there are a ton of unknowns in this fight,,,,but how anyone who is not a Tito fanboy can't bet on RJJ easily taking this fight is beyond me :huh

    Mayorga has a ridiculous chin. He's done this against other fighters as well and danced right through em.

    Also you dont have to be a big puncher if the guy you're punching has a shaky chin. Tito's powerful enough to hurt RJJ....regardless of whether he has superb power.

    You don't need to worry. Tito has never had an amazing chin and at 170 after not fighting for a few years his ability to take a punch will be a lot worse. Jones still has very good power and speed and it will not take much for Jones to knock Tito out. I don't think Trinidad will be taking a ton of punishment this saturday, his chin won't let him and Jones doesn't throw enough punches to brutalize somebody these days. Trinidad doesn't seem like the kind of fighter that will be going back to boxing again, unless it's another big PPV fight. I think he just wanted to feel the excitement of being in a big fight one last time.. I doubt he'll end up like Holyfield, Toney, or maybe Jones, who people should really worry about.

    Because Roy has grade A China for a chin and Tito regardless of any erosion can still hit. Thats not much of a stretch there Pally.

    Roid Jones should be able to beat Tito, but whoever lands the big one first will win.

    Worse than being momentarily hurt is to be rocked into oblivion. Trinidad is doing himself a disservice by going into this one stoically and incongruosly... Like in May 2005 against Wright, one senses the hint of coming ecstasy, the adrenaline that flashes deep, the feeling of it being a rush, a high over him, and suspects that he cannot adjust properly, shift his body appropriately and make the sleek cruiser move...Once he lunges himself forward, gets figured out, darted and potshot, he'll feel progressively and increasingly awkward like a gargoyle, that feeling of early ecstasy will turn into one of mid mistrust and late embarrassment... I wish Tito to be cautious and intelligent in his approach - he can't just step in and close him down b.c. he will move out of there and steal a lot of shots as Tito's body language denounces whatever he is going to do much, much in advance.
