I feel bad for Roy the man was such a great fighter but he refuses to hang it up....he is 39 and turns 40 shortly after the tito bout.... He has no legs and can only fight in spurts ....this is not going to be enough to keep Tito off of him Tito is going to batter him and when he decides to attack Tito is going to punch with him Roy is going to get destroyed he has nothing in his armor to beat Tito Sure he is fast but only in spurts and thats not enough He has NO jab ... keeps his hands low all night man Tito is going to destroy him
Tito is just way too small of a guy to do much damage against RJJ. I'm not saying he has no chance of landing a clean shot and hurting RJJ but i think the chances are slim and none. Tito is doing it for one last pay day and he's going to get paid well. But i think even he knows that he's got little chance outside of a lucky punch. RJJ has quicker hands, better movement, and he will be tough to hit. And with that extra weight, Tito's movement will be even slower. Not that he was a movement guy to begin with as he's always stood right in front of his opponents while putting most of his weight on his front/left foot. It's going to be target practice for RJJ if he decides to let his hands go. I see RJJ in a KO.
Roy has no jab .... he has a quit straight right but he doesn't let it go enough ... plus in all of his fights post Tarver & Johnson he has been gun shy ....
by the way i acknowledge that a prime roy would have a field day with tito but the fact is that this version of roy is a walking dead man
This walking dead man still has blazing hand speed and can put together blazing combinations when he decides to throw them. And this walking dead man will be fighting at his optimal weight while Tito will be way above it.
Ive god a feeling roy is going to fade badly and just capitulate Rnd 7. Tito wont have to do much. Like Tyson Vrs McBride / Williams.
I respect your opinion but I have to disagree at 170 roy is going to be so weak.... the extra 5 lbs will make his legs & stamina even worse then they are now Tito when fighting at 160 was like 170 on fight night.... he will not weigh 170 at the weigh in more like 167.5 and be at 173 at most on fight night.... Like you said Roy has blazing speed when he decides to let them go but thats the problem this current roy doesn't let his hands go only in spurts and barely even throws combos more like 1 2's Tito by KO
& another thing this is why boxing is the greatest sport even at their ages roy & tito makes for a great fight with so many intangibles .... age, weight, etc etc
They are BOTH walking dead man. Its a case of who is the most shot and really we wont know untill they get in the ring. A pure farce of a fight. well done King.
Tito hasn't been in the ring in 3 years(?), and RJJ atleast been active lately. Imo, this will be a big factor.
I agree with you I think Jones whoops tito prime for prime but this current version of Roy just isn't cutting it .. no shame in getting ko'd by tito tho as he is dam near 40 years old Tito underestimated Winky big time and is super hungry to prove a point he is going to be relentless expect this fight to mirror tito-david reid
nah i don't think it will be a factor because it doesn't matter roy is just OLD .... he's old & washed then he's just old & washed up ... Activity won't help him
