He connects with a hard punch . That is all.

Pretty much. I think his only chance of that is to get Roy against the ropes. Jones will often go there on his own nowadays without even being pressed there. Trinidad will have to take the opportunity when it's there.

all he has to do is show up to the fight. he's fighting a worthless bum of a fighter so he should be ok.

If this fight is even slightly competitive for even a 30 second period in the fight, Jones would have proven himself to be beyond shot.

Stylistically this should be as a big a mismatch as any major fight in history.

Not only is Jones far more talented, but he's also SIGNIFICANTLY bigger.

no doubt..

Tito should have ZERO advantage in this fight

i think the size difference more than anything will be the biggest factor in favor of RJJ. but i think once again people are under-estimating Tito's ability to out-fox RJJ in spots. the only question is whether or not Tito can hurt RJJ.

I don't really see Tito giving Roy any more problems then Hanshaw did ...
Actually , at this point in time , could Tito even beat a Hanshaw or a fighter like him ?
I mean if Tito was fighting Hanshaw , I wouldn't exactly bet my house on him . Actually I wouldn't bet anything.

he did in spots. in both cases. and that's my point. odh especially was lexperiencing more and more trouble fending off tito's well timed pressure.

also, whereas hopkins had no trouble dealing with tito's power, and ko'd him, he was certainly fooled in spots by tito's offense, and taken off guard.

don't misunderstand. out-foxing is something tito might expect to do once or twice a round in order to land a shot RJJ doesn't expect. that's what i mean by out-fox - tito's ability to land big shots that RJJ doesn't expect.

I think it's more likely Roy gets caught by shot because of doing something stupid moreso than Trinidad being able to outsmart Roy in a spot to land a heavy enough shot.

If Jones goes to the ropes Trinidad should unleash all his fury as that's the only chance i see him having.

nah. i think rjj is safe against the ropes. that's why he goes there. he reduces his area of threat by 270 degrees. can rest. and can cover every possible vulnerability.

it'll be in the middle of the ring of, on a counter when rjj is snoozin or showin off that tito could surprise him and short circuit him the way he did Reid.

I think it's more the fact that Jones was KO'd by no power Glen Johnson. Surely Tito hits as hard as Johnson does.

Sure, he knocked out three chinless/defenseless wonders at 160, but that doesn't translate into him having any power at 170.

Mitchell Kane

The safe guess is Trinidad isn't crowding Jones and getting off (let alone landing) anywhere near the amount of punches Johnson did against Jones.

12-28-2007, 09:28 PM
Sorry guys, but Tito has little chance here. The only reason I say "little" is simply because Roy ain't what he used to be, and even then I'd a picked Jones over Trinidad.

In reality this one should NOT be competitive. Roy should blow him outta there no later than the middle rounds. If he decisions Tito, I will not be impressed.

Tito's only chance is to land a lucky shot with Roy on the ropes acting like a dumb ass.

Anthony
12-28-2007, 11:11 PM
Tito is using his father as a trainer. That shows you were his intelligence level is these days. Fuck him for that. Jones beats his ass. Trinidad will only throw punches at an open target. And the fact that RJJ claims that he will trade with tito clearly tells me jones will be moving around the whole fight.

I'm with you on this. I think the center of the ring is where Jones is most vulnerable, and when he's coming forward. Tito comes inside on Roy and he'll get a full dose of what he got against Hopkins, except from a guy who hits much harder--particularly to the body.

Really hard to say how Tito can win because we don't know what he brings to the table at this point. It's the only X-factor. Everything else points to Jones flattening him in six.

you're wrong.

Tarver was him getting caught trying to pull the same fundamentally unsound move that worked before, except he finally got timed.

Johnson was a case of him just getting beaten on for several rounds until he got caught with something heavy.

Both times he was backing up, but ropes werent an issue either time

Jones wasn't really against the ropes in both instances - they just happened to be there lol. He was backing up both times, with his hands down. Against Tarver he threw a left hook while going back, chin straight out in the air. That happens ANYWHERE, and you're going down. Tarver stepped into his punch and found an unprotected grill. Against Johnson, pretty much the same thing, except he wasn't throwing a punch.

Jones was never a bad fighter with his back against the ropes, in fact he was one of the best--except he was too defensive at times. As he's gotten older, he's greatly improved there. He showed flashes of it against Tarver in the third fight. Against Badi and Hanshaw (I know, lesser talent), he looked like James Toney out there. Why? Because he's far more active there. It's where he works. In the center of the ring, he simply does not have the legs or reflexes to do the kind of damage he did in his younger years. One mistimed leaping left hook and he'll be kissing canvas. Unfortunately, he still tries to do that. Except now, he's wisely mixing it in with a far more refined game. He may get caught, he may not.

Only chance I see if he gets Roy on the ropes somehow. Usually Roy stays on the ropes for a while making him miss and clowning a little.

Any other scenario Roy would be too fast.

This is how.

I'm down here in Puerto Rico for the holidays. The general feeling here is that Tito is going to get KTFO. He's living off past glory here and with Cotto becoming the island's new star, Tito seems to not be coping well with it. I think the odds are against him even down here.


Regardless of weight issues, being past primed, layoffs, etc.. Roy Jones is just BETTER than Tito Trinidad. He's a better fighter. Always has been and always will be. Tito only has a puncher's chance simply because Roy isn't quite what he was. But even still, at this point I still feel that Roy is too fast, too strong, too powerful, and too skilled. Tito won't see Roy's punches and because of his pride, he'll take a huge beating.


I don't even think I'll be watching this fight. Tito is gonna get whacked badly and its going to be sad to see. The only good thing for Tito here is the career high 20 plus million he'll earn for being the sacrificial lamb.

Wish this fight was never signed.

That is a great post.

I agree with the first part. It is obvious that Tito is fighting because of Cottos popularity. To me that is a bad reason to fight. The worst reason since Fernando Vargas is fighting for Pride.

Tito doesn't look bad from what I hear. I've seen some pictures and he looks alright. Not nearly as cut or as lean as when he was even for the Mayorga fight.

But all that aside, few people if any give him a chance. Most believe that not only will he lose, but that it will be the worst loss of his career.

I think Tito has a better chance than most. Seems to me Roy never truly recovered from his first KO loss and is clearly effected by pressure. He looked shaky as hell whenever Ajamu and Hanshaw both pressured him against the ropes, and there were times when I thought both were on the verge of KHTFO. I say if...no, when Tito catches him in a similar predicament , Roy goes to sleep...again.

:cool: I agree! Alot of people are giving Tito ZERO shot! It's funny because I still remember when Tito had no shot against Fernando Vargas, David Reid, William Joppy ect... People always seem to give Tito's opponent the edge. Tito's 2 loses came in the hands of P4P fighters at the time of the lose. RJ is far from his best aand that includes Tito but at this time I feel Tito has more in the tank! We shall see...

I talked to my uncle Jose last night and he was very serious in saying people are underestimating Tito's will to comeback this time. He told me that he is in great shape and is not worried at all about this fight because Tito is coming to win and also that he has a 3 -4 fight deal with King.

Since then, Johnson had convincingly proven his chin above 160. Trinidad has not done this. He won't be able to take Jones's power, and he'll be knocked out in four rounds.

If this fight is even slightly competitive for even a 30 second period in the fight, Jones would have proven himself to be beyond shot.

Stylistically this should be as a big a mismatch as any major fight in history.

Not only is Jones far more talented, but he's also SIGNIFICANTLY bigger.you make it sound like this is some sort of superfight or something. :rolleyes:

Then he'll start using his jab and cutting up Roy. Around the 6th round Roy will be busted up and Tito will land and body shot that sends Roy to the ground. A brave Roy gets up only to take another beating.

I'd like to see Trinidad pull it off, but I highly doubt it.

Roy's not the same fighter he was, but at least he's been semi-active and beating fringe contenders. Fringe light heavyweight contenders.

Trinidad's never fought above 160, hasn't fought since May 2005 (where he lost 12-0), and has always been a sucker for a straight right hand.

Roy's straight right is still very fast, and coming from a larger man that Tito is used to being hit by.
