    Tonight's the fight and whatever the outcome, no excuses, I wouldn't want to read "oh he was too old", "that's not his weight", "he's washed up".

    Both are great fighters and yes, I'm with Tito on this one, and yes I'm puerto rican, that's why is hard for me to go against Tito. So here we go:

    who wins this one? and how much you bet on vbookie?

    i doubt it will be a brutal KO, he will probably be to strong and get a tko or get a UD......... thats roy jones, i think roy jones will win inside 11 rounds

    A couple obvious questions;

    How is Roy going to look fighting all the way down @170?

    How will the weight affect his stamina/legs/chin-- all of these factors seemed to have diminished once he came down from HW (Ruiz fight or even before)?

    Is roy going to really fight at a high pace(KO4), or will he lie on the ropes for long periods of each round (giving Tito what many think is his only chance)?

    And for Tito there are even more unknowns (especially @ 170);

    Power
    Chin
    Stamina
    Workrate
    Physical conditioning
    Strength
    Speed

    I think Jones is the obvious/easy/safe pick in this one. But I do give Tito more of a chance in this fight than most (even with all the unknowns).


    A prime Jones waxes that ass over a prime Tito. But neither fighter is not even close to their prime.

    Roy has lost 3 of his last 5 fights (2 via brutal KO's)

    Tito has lost 2 of his last 5 (with the Winky fight being 12-0 shutout W/Tito looking like ****/shot)


    My prediciton, I am thinking that this version of Roy will come out looking good and fast, winning the fight early, but I think if he doesn't take Tito out before the later rounds that he might find himself in trouble due to his legs not being there because of weight difficulty. I think Tito's problem is that he becomes discouraged when he can't land on a guy-- he'll be able to land on Roy a bit when he's on the ropes.

    I am going to go with the colossal upset and pick trinidad by stoppage.

    If the fight was at 175, I think Tito would be in for a huge beatdown. I simply believe that Tito(age 35) is going to benefit more from the weight than Jones(age 39).

    Why did you put brutal by Roy Jones KO but not by Tito's? IMO Tito has a better chance of getting a brutal KO. I think Tito will lose a UD though

    Im going with Roy....He's been more active and Tito got the **** knocked out of him by soft punching winky Wright a couple years ago so i think Roy will win via stoppage........Like it was said in a previous post,they both are way on the decline but i think Roy will have a little more left to do the job because he was always far superior in skill than Tito was and still will be even at this stage of the game

    I see no major upset if Tito wins. Two old fighters go at each other. One never seemed to be old was just outboxed twice (badly). The other is old as hell, much slower than before, dropped punch output and slower reflexes. Too many questions: too much weight, too much weight-loss, inactivity etc. There's no guaranteed winner here just a strong favorite if Roy is a strong favorite at all. All these KO predictions are coming from people thinking that the Roy of the millennium will show up tonight but unfortunately he's a different fighter now. Could be a KO but could be a wide/close victory, KO, points loss… nothing written in stone here.


    My take: Roy on points.

    But no upset if Tito wins.

    Jones by UD.

    Jones may be able to get the KO, but he won't take the risk.
