THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME... FELIX TITO TRINIDAD!

Congratulations to both men for proving to the world they aren't really that shot. They both deserve some more paychecks.

Unfortunately I didn't watch the fight because I'm in San Francisco. However, it's really unbelievable. A guy takes off 3-years, comes back to fight 10lbs higher than his last fight, and takes on the toughest, fastest, most unorthodox fighter and still puts on a show. What more can anybody ask for? Roy only landed 12 punches more than him too. Incredible performance from the Puerto Rican superstar. I'd like to see him come down to 168lbs and fight for a title. With a little more work and time to shake of the rust I think he can capture a title at that weight.

As for Reed claiming Roy carried him. If he did then he's not a really fighter. Tito wouldn't have carried him. He's got a job to do. Do it, or go find yourself another job. Roy was just being the usual Roy, not taking risks and giving the fans nothing. But still, he won the fight so congrats to him. To don't diminish what Felix did. All of those years people said shit like Tito couldn't compete with Roy. hahahahahahha. He came out of retirement to prove you wrong.

I hope to see both men in a few more good fights before they call it a career.

Tyler Durden, what did I say? ::

 

Way to kill a whole post. :bears:

 

:notallthere:

This is what a Tito fan is?

 

Man, I wasted a bunch of posts over the years with this phoney :doh:


::

 

I even had credentials to see it in person. Unfortunately I fucked up and planned my vacation at the same time. ::

Plus that shit was $50

 

Look at Tito in both knockdowns. His eyes are clear. He got hit by somebody that fought as high as 200lbs. Not to many welterweight champions would've even gotten up again.

so did i, but i ended up not going due to a family emergency. otherwise, i would've went and cheered for both guys.

you didnt plan your vacation by accident. you knew well ahead when this fight was happening. ::

 

Personally I think the fix was in.

 

Tito on his knees to Roy, gotta love it.

opcorn:

 

I seriously forgot. I was going to go in February but plans changed and with a good ticket price I jumped on it. A week later I was like DOH!

 

yea, it should've ended in round 7. ::

 

12,162 At the Garden. Prices were very high, but this was more than expected. They anticipated 11K

 

Afterward, Jones paid tribute to Trinidad's heart, telling him in the ring, "I can't believe you stayed in there 12 rounds with me. It was a great night and we put on a great fight. Everybody thought we were old."

 

man if ur gonna take the time to come to CA, why would you go to Frisco?

 

if Roy wasn't a "Golotaesque" finisher at this stage in his career it would've

 

But, isn't this like the 4th time Trinidad's been shown for what he really is - a one-dimensional plodding slugger. :dunno:
The following have soundly outboxed Trinidad throughout the respective fights:
De la Hoya at 147lb
Hopkins at 160lb
Wright at 160lb
Jones Jr at 175lb

 

There would have been 20,000 there if they priced the tickets correctly.
