Atleast they appear to match up well in the size catagory. If Roy loses , he better retire. If Tito wins , he better fight again. If Tito loses , well we know he is going to retire so I shouldn't even have to mention that.
Roy - "I been KTFO five times" Tito - "I've had circles boxed around me 7 times" Don King - "Viva La Pensacola Rico!"
If Roy Doesn't KO Tito, Rather EARLY, he'd Better RETIRE... There's Really NO Pressure @ All on Tito in this Bout...If he LOSES, it was to a Bigger Guy, AFTER a Layoff... REED
Exactly... Tito's AS Tall or TALLER than Roy & his Cranium is LARGER, but Roy's FACE & Upper Body is Noticeably THICKER... REED
exactly. Tito just has to show up and collect the paycheck. But since he's already there he might as well KO Roy and help him make up his mind about retirement. cupey
Misleading, IMO. Tito & Bernard looked similarly sized at the weigh ins - Tito was dwarfed in the ring. In the ring Roy and Bernard looked the exact same size. Roys gonna be by far the bigger man. Tito will also probably be flabby as fuck at 170lb, he was already softish at Middleweight.
Bernard was clearly taller overall and had a clearly taller shoulder height. Roy will be larger for sure but , I think it won't be as offset as people think.
Ahhhh, but hang on - when did RJJ last KO a guy in any round, let alone early? Clinton Woods, 5 years ago - and that was a 'stoppage'. I don't think Trinidad will fold early - his punch resistance is pretty good as a rule....and I'm actually looking forward to this fight (even though id have liked to have seen it, circa 2001). Interesting to see how Trinidad's one-pace & power is at 170lb compared to Jones Jr punch-resistance/reflexes in general. Reminds me a bit like the mid-to-late 70s when Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton and all the rest were still fighting, albeit way past their best.
Even though they are both 5'11 I imagined ROy looking significantly taller because, well, he's a LHW and Tito is a career WW :: However, by fight time Roy should have a fair few pounds on Tito and is used to fighting bigger men.
Tito DOESN'T have Clinton Woods' Chin...Not @ 170 & HIGHER, he Doesn't:nono: ...It's Doubtful Tito even has Hanshaw's Chin... Tito has ALWAYS Been Relatively EASY to Hit & he DOESN'T have the Greatest Chin... Couple that w/his LAYOFF, the Rust & LACK of TIMING that Comes w/It... The ONLY Chance Tito has is a PUNCHER's Chance...& That's a SLIM 1...Guys R BANKING on the So-Called "Weakness" of Roy's Chin, but Roy was KO'ed by NATURALLY LARGER Men than Tito... It's WISHFUL Thinking, Really... REED
Tito has shown to take a better punch as he goes up in weight. :bears: You seem a little nervous Reed.::
Yes your right and it took a 12 round beatdown to put him on his ass. Your nervous, everyone can see it. Your boy is in danger of getting KTFO again!:cheer:
Whatever the outcome of this fight, I guarantee you all one thing: Calslappy The Fraud will call the winner out (or even the loser, for that matter), to put on an extra 14lb in weight....then come down again within 2 months to 168lb, fly over to Cardiff and fight him.
Bernard ISN'T In the Same BallPark as Roy in Terms of Punching Power... Yeah, REED is Sooooooooo "Nervous" he's Predicting an EARLY KO for Roy... REED::
They're probably trying to count how many years it's been since either of them have been relavent. TFK
