As this fight gets closer, my anticipation for it grows. Big time. But as this fight gets closer, I hear more and more stories about Jones not being able to make weight; this makes me thing he has a slim chance of beating Tito by a wide margin, and could even lead to him being Knocked out. If Jones can weight in a 170lbs, with no problems, then he'll ease past Tito; but if he's not in tip-top shape, Tito's got a Big chance. A big chance and a Big left-hook. Im a real #1 Jones fan, through and through, but the weight problem does concern me, and I'm sure it does other RJJ fans
im almost sure roy will pull through and capture a close but UD Trinidad wont be able to handle his speed
At 170 Jones is going to look a little bit like his old self ..The good thing here is that he's been active and has had plenty of time to adjust to this weight ..I'm not so sure for Tito though I will blame his loss on rust more than anything ..
i will stay up to 4am to 5am in the morning to watch this fight, i just hope both fighters are not to shot and it a reasonable spectacle. i hope jones throws more than 10 punches a round while circling and potshotting occasionally and hope tito can carry 170 and not be lethargic and slow.
As long as its better than Wright Hopkins this fight shoould entertain ..the undercards make it worth purchasing ..
not looked at the undercard it is free in the uk, well part of a £10 a month 10 channel sports package.
Jones has to win by KO. if he does'nt, he needs to really think about what he is doing. and I'm a big jones fan. I'm hoping that jones beats tito in 8. then beats the winner of cal. vs. b-hop. wins his titles back, then retires on top where he belongs!! Go Jones GO!! (if there is such a thing as a homer in boxing I would be it for jones)
i dont think jones is having trouble making weight..i seen an interview about 3 weeks ago and he said he was 182 so i think he'll be just fine
maybe with this fight at 170, tito will HAVE to go in fo', since roy might be too tired to last much longer. wouldn't it be wonderful to see roy attack him like griffin 2? that'd be wonderful.
