Roy Jones Jr. beat Felix Tito Trinidad in a 12 round bout at Madison Square Garden in NYC by Unanimous Decision on Saturday Night. Jones Jr. (52-4, 38 KOs) knocked Trinidad down twice in the bout, first in the 7th Trinidad got hit, bounced a couple of times and went down in a delayed reaction. In the 10th, Jones Jr. knocked Trinidad down again. He won 117-109 on one scorecard and 116-110 on the two others.
"A lot of people thought I was done, but I'm still capable of doing a lot of things," Jones said. "I'm capable of beating anyone I get my mind right for. We had a beautiful training camp. I actually enjoyed training. I had beautiful sparring partners."
Trinidad knew his layoff hurt him. "I took off two years and eight months. I take nothing away from Roy, but if I could have avoided the knockdowns, I think I could have won the fight," Trinidad said. "Roy was very fast and strong. He threw great punches. I have no excuses. He demonstrated speed and took my body punches."

Trinidad called this on himself. He should show more respect for american fighters. No man is an island. He messed with the wrong person when he chose to fight Roy Jones. Roy demonstrates respect in and out of the ring. Congratulations Roy! I'll always be in your corner!
Hey my pal learn a little more before talk Tito is an American Fighter too, if Not Roy should be called an African fighter.
i know this gone be happen pls tito no figh never again respect your self
BOTH OF THE FIGHTERS ARE GREAT FIGHTERS WE SHOULD NEVER CALLED ONE AN AMERICAN AND THE OTHER A PUERTO RICAN THEY ARE BOTH GREAT REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATIONALITY, AND THEY ARE BOTH AMERICAN AS PUERTO RICANS ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS. IT WAS JUST PROVEN THAT THIS TIME MR. JONES WAS THE BETTER OF THE TWO, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE HE WILL LOOSE BUT AT THIS TIME I TAKE MY HAT OFF FOR BOTH FIGHTERS THEY HAVE WORKED HARD FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THEY BOTH HAVE SHOWN WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DOING. CONGRATULATIONS MR. JONES AND AS A PUERTO RICAN VIVA PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always liked Tito as a fighter, but he should know (and I think he knew) he was not going to beat Roy Jones, not before, not now, not ever, Roy Jones is one of the greatest fighter ever and he is bigger, faster and stronger than Tito. He lost the last fights with younger fighers in their prime. So, its nothing else to say. Roy is a better fighter than Tito.
Roy is punk tito if he get a remaths he can ko him in the 6 round and why because i say so
Hi Nice Blog .I've made up my mind: I'm gonna buy an MP3 player. I just don't know which one. I like the ipod battery, but do I really need something that small?
