Jaimoe Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Both of these fighters are past their prime, but boxers on the decline with everything to lose often put on incredible fights. I'm pulling for Trinidad - a natural welterweight. Should be an interesting fight nonetheless:http://www.hbo.com/boxing/events/2008/0119_trinidad_jones/news/announcement.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I can tell you that when Trinidad was in his early prime in the late 80's and early 90's - in welterweight and light-light-middleweight - there was nobody better. He was a very young champion and no one could touch him. He hung around too long and got too heavy, but when Felix was at a more natural weight, man, he was deadly.

Jaimoe Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Jones wins a 12 round decision. Yawn. The Steve Molitor IBF Junior Featherweight title defense was really good tonight. Kudos to TSN for airing the fight live and in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Nope, but I read a round-by-round account and saw a ton of highlights - I also had to work. By all accounts, Trinidad was slow, old and really rusty. I did see the Molitor fight however. He had his hands full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Then your opinion = yawn in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
