    Even though tito hasnt boxed in 2 years, got whitewashed in his last fight, is past it, is fighting 15lbs above his weight class,

    and roy is old, past it, lost what... 3 of his last 5?

    even though neather really matter when talking about the elites of todays landscape...


    even though i know all that...


    I am still eagerly awaiting to cheer them both on.

    When i was younger, i disliked both... i am past that now and will hoping they can reclaim old glory against eachother, and do themselves proud in their own ways.

    I dont understand the fans that dont want to watch something because it doesnt 'mean' anything in terms of RANKINGS.

    This is still Trinidad, and RJJ.... and once they are face to face in the ring... i will be excited.... most of the fighters we are watching today would be a mere scalp of both these fighters in their time.

    Well most of the talk that I've been exposed to regarding this fight is that it's going to be a real snoozer.

    But I really dont expect that. Tito and Roy are both fully capable of putting on exciting fights, andhave done so their entire careers (except for Jones-Telesco, which I though was boring).

    Im looking forward to this matchup.

    I'm looking forward to it. Of course Roy is one of my favorite all times fighters.

    I'm excited for this, but I don't really want to pay for it in particular. I will likely go somewhere it is being shown. Closer to the day I may end up buying if I feel like it really, but I would just like to watch and not pay.

    Sorry this fight is a no brainer, Tito has not fought since 2005 and that was at the 160 range , even though Rjj is at the twilight of his career he's still the bigger fighter , stronger fighter , faster fighter and more active of the two ..

    This fight will look like SRL comeback fight against Hector Camacho, a disaster for Felix!!!

    Felix gets KO, and the general public will be hype on a lie that Rjj is back..
