abc , Don King, and Roy Jones Jr. :142smilie
Vs KOD and BOXLOCKS.
I know your just joking around abc, you never bet
chit you just talk chit.
1. Has Jones lost a step?:142smilie
The answer to this one seems obvious, after Jones' devastating losses to Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson. Clearly, he is not the dominant fighter he was at his peak. But in comeback bouts against Prince Badi Ajamu and Anthony Hanshaw, Jones demonstrated that his vaunted hand speed, at least, remains.
But what about the rest of his arsenal? How is his footwork? Is he able to move smoothly around the ring or is he rooted to the spot? If it's the former, expect him to be able to use angles to outbox Trinidad; if it's the latter, expect him to stand in front of Trinidad and trade.
How does Trinidad carry the weight?:SIB
The consensus is that Trinidad is unlikely to be able to outbox Jones. If he is to beat him, the thinking goes, it is going to have to come from a power punch to Jones' suspect chin. But Trinidad has never fought at 170 pounds before. Will the extra weight enable him to bring extra power to his punches? Or will he be out of his depth at the weight: a welterweight in a light heavyweight body? Will he look sturdy and strong? Or will he appear hefty, sluggish and slow?
3. Can Trinidad cut off the ring?:shrug:
At times, most notably in his lopsided defeat to Winky Wright, Trinidad has seemed almost robotic in his movements. He has, on occasion, shown a tendency to simply follow his opponent around the ring. That's one of the reasons he has sometimes fared poorly against accomplished boxers. If Jones has even a modicum of lateral movement left in him, Trinidad is going to have to do better than that. He's going to have to cut off the ring, and ideally trap Jones in a corner or against the ropes. If he can't do that, he could be in for a miserable night.
4. If the fight goes into the later rounds, who benefits, or suffers, most? :142smilie
Each man is promising an early knockout. What happens if neither boxer's prediction comes to fruition? Trinidad has been out of the ring more than two years and is fighting at a weight 10 pounds greater than he has ever done, and 16 to 23 pounds above his peak.
According to his father, however, even to reach that weight he had to drop 30 pounds. Will he have the necessary stamina if the fight gets into the later rounds? Conversely, Jones is fighting at his lowest weight in 11 years. Will the effort to make that weight prove draining? Will he be able to fight at the same pace for 12 rounds if necessary?
5. What about the crowd?
Six years ago, before Trinidad lost to Bernard Hopkins, this was considered one of the biggest fights that could possibly be made.
Although they have been reduced in recent days, ticket prices were initially through the roof, with front-row ringside seats being offered for an astonishing $15,000.

Anyone that would pay 15k to watch this fight in person would have to be nuts, unless they had
alot of cash riding on the over . :SIB

FOXSports.com: 10 hours ago
Obviously you're not as young as you used to be ? none of us are. Does that affect your training methods at all?
RJ: No, man. What really helped me this time was training with a guy who's pretty good, and he kind of helped me pick out soe of the small problems I had been having, so it made it really good.
This is the first time I've been able to properly prepare in a long time. I was able to work on my legs, work on my movement and work on my defensive staance. I think was really a blessing in disguise because I've been able work on things I haven't been able to work on.
FOXSports.com: Why Tito Trinidad and why now?
RJ: He asked for it. That simple. It wasn't my choice. He asked me, so of course I'm not going to turn it down.
FOXSports.com: Does the fact he hasn't fought in 2 1/2 years affect the way you approach the fight?
RJ: No, because last time he took off two years he came back and fought against Ricardo Mayorga and he looked better than I'd ever seen him look. So sometimes taking a break serves you well.
However, I just don't think he knows what he's getting himself into this time.
FOXSports.com: What challenges do you think Trinidad presents to you?
RJ: He's just got a strong punch. He's got a strong left hook and a pretty decent right hand. He's a strong puncher. That's all he's got. He's a very strong puncher.:142smilie
FOXSports.com: Why do you expect to beat him?
RJ: Because I'm a stronger puncher.:mj07:
FOXSports.com: Obviously, you've had a legendary career. What more do you want to accomplish in your career?
RJ: I just want to get myself back to performing at my nromal capability, my normal style, my normal old Roy Jones Jr. self, and I'm good.
FOXSports.com: What should fans expect to see on Jan. 19 when they tune in?
RJ: The old Roy Jones. The showin'-up-havin'-a-good-time-razzlin'-dazzlin'-dazin'-you Roy Jones that we've grown to love back in the day.
............................................................
They should expect to see a boring 12 rounds with flashs of the past to keep the multitudes happy.

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.

I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''

I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.
Muhammad Ali
I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali
I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

Muhammad Ali
It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am.
Muhammad Ali
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
Muhammad Ali
It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
Muhammad Ali
It's not bragging if you can back it up.
Muhammad Ali
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
Muhammad Ali
Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.
Muhammad Ali
My toughest fight was with my first wife.
Muhammad Ali
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
Muhammad Ali
No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room.
Muhammad Ali
Old age is just a record of one's whole life.
Muhammad Ali
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.
Muhammad Ali
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.

Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.

thanks SixFive
In the year 2008 I have decided that I
probably should step it down a notch. Be a more
humble individual. Not toot my own horn so much when I win. Stop being such a attention ho and just post and win. Be more accepting of others and their feelings.

The sneer is gone from KOD's lip; his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of KOD's blow.
Oh! somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is joy at Madjacks --
KOD just knocked it out.
