Trindad vs Jones

[kg0208]

Who has what advantage and where? Let's get a fair analysis out here.

How can each fighter win the fight? Even if it doesn't matter much who wins....

[PH|LLA]

honestly i don't think this matchup gonna be close to being close at the bookies

RJJ wins in every category

right now Jones pays back 1.18 and i think thats huge. I'm gonna put some money right now cause i doubt the odds with shorten

Does anybody care what these old relics are going to do? Somebody should stick them back in a museum where they belong.

Which has already been stated.

I am asking for an analysis of advantages and disadvantages for both fighters. Perhaps some thought on how the fight plays out.

[joe the great]

I would give Jones the edge. Jones on points. Is this fight at super middle?

[Skital]

Barring a lucky punch that lands just right Jones will destroy Tito with ease.

I have Jones winning this fight with relative ease. People are saying that the 170 pounds will b 2 much 4 Tito, I think it wont honestly as you get older you weight will fluctuate if you dont keep it under wraps, so him being 170 might be a weight that he is confortable with. Look at oscar when he made 154 he looked like a corpse so to speak. Then he came into the fight at damn near supermiddle.
But this fight RJ will win, 2 much handspeed. Tito has trouble with speed boxers and slick boxers, which RJ is both. So I see RJ winning htis fight by UD or potential KO

jones by ko

Trinidad always could beat Jones, and still can. And will. Tito by devastating KO over the the most overated fighter of my time. (And I ain't young.)

Easy money, boys. Easy money.

[brooklyn1550]

Jones has all of the physical advantages. He's bigger, stronger, and faster. Plus, he's fought at 170 before, while Trinidad has never gone above 160.

Jones can win this, and will win this, by utilizing his superior speed and reflexes. Using a good jab and quick counters. Jones' movement will also frustrate Trinidad who has always had a tough time with exceptional movers. Jones' hand speed advantage will be all too apparent.

How can Trinidad win this? By cutting off the ring and forcing Jones to the ropes. He needs to be able to do this and really rough Jones up. If Jones is completely shot while Trinidad has something left, Trinidad could maybe win a decision. If he lands some big left hooks, he can finish Jones off. However, I HIGHLY doubt that happens.

Jones by UD or late TKO

[kg0208]

Trinidad always could beat Jones, and still can. And will. Tito by devastating KO over the the most overated fighter of my time. (And I ain't young.)

Easy money, boys. Easy money.
Trinidad could always beat Jones? If Jones and Trinidad had fought in 2001 it wouldn't have lasted 6 rounds and Jones would have blasted him into next week. Hopkins and Wrights beating of Trinidad in his prime were not flukes, but illustrated what DLH already showed us.

Trinidad could always beat Jones? If Jones and Trinidad had fought in 2001 it wouldn't have lasted 6 rounds.

I agree. With Jones on the canvas.

Didn't know there were comedians frequenting ESB.

[jimmie]

I think with Roy we know his legs arent really there so using what isnt there isnt going to work. Obviously Titos best and maybe only chance to win is 2 land some of his trademark Tito lefthooks so Roy needs to use some good foot patterns to stay out of range of a lefthook. Theres been a select few fights RJJ has used a jab in and when he does its incredible and we all know thats a Trinidad weakness he cant defend a jab so Roy should use it to set up his right hands and lefthooks to Titos head and pick him apart, Trinidad couldnt handle DLHs handspeed and RJJ even at 39 is faster then DLH ever was. In doing that im sure Roy will conserve engery and stop Trinidad when hes ripe for the picking.

[He Hate Me]

Did tickets go on sale yet?

[joito3]

roy isn't consistent enough to beat tito..... he's going to try and be cute...throw a few quick shots here and there and then cover up on the ropes...its all he has done in his last 4 or so fights since Tarver knocked him out !

Roy can talk all he wants but the truth is that this is what he is going to do ! He claimed he was going to knock HANSHAW and PRINCE out and did nothing but throw a few shots and then cover up on the ropes !

the man is done has no legs at all !!!! Tito looked like crap against winky b/c he and his dad foolishly overlooked Winky and obviously didn't train for Winky WRight ...did anyone see tito winded early against ? did you not see him at the weigh in looking flabby ? Take all that and add the atg which is winky wright to the mix and tito was in deep sh*T and paid the price losing all the rounds !

Tito will not take Roy lightly !


ROY is done !

[He Hate Me]

Both guys are shot, this is a great payday for two former greats and people will buy tickets, purchace ppv and we will debate this fight on esb. It's one of the biggest fraud fights I can think of, but I will eventually cave in to the hype. I might even go to the Garden for some entertainment.

[Guitarman]

If you guys think Trinidad has ANY chance at all, you are dreaming. Sorry.
