SOHH Sports: We Major Wednesdays: Roy Jones Jr.-Felix Trinidad Fight One Mo
2007-12-19 18:07:00 What up! It's December 19th, exactly one month from the Roy Jones Jr.-Felix Trinidad fight at the Garden. Keep it funky ... did y'all even know about this fight!? Wait, hold up, hold up ... do y'all even care about this fight? I mean, it's been so under the radar and for good reason, but I will say that it's a good matchup because both these dudes are waay past their prime and refuse to just retire. They both got egos and want to prove they still have one more 'W' left in 'em. I will say that Tito is a wisely-chosen opponent for even Roy Jones was forced to lean back. Even at 39, the age Jones will be when he enters the ring at the Garden, I think he still may have power on Tito. But who you got? Who's winning this and how!? Holla at me. P.S. Don King's a maniac.
