Jones Jr. heavily favored over ?Tito? Trinidad
Former middleweight boxing champion Felix ?Tito? Trinidad takes on eight-time world champion Roy Jones Jr. in a highly anticipated bout on Saturday, Jan. 19 at Madison Square Garden.
Jones is a 360-moneyline favorite at betED.com to win the $14-million purse, while Trinidad is a +290 underdog. The round over/under is 10.5 (O +100, U -130).
Jones, an eight-time world champion, has won belts in the middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions. He was the first former middleweight champion to win a world heavyweight crown in 100 years.
Trinidad, a five-time world champion, has career knockout ratio of 80 percent and has also picked up titles in the welterweight and junior middleweight classes.
Regarded by many as Puerto Rico's top fighter of the past 20 years, Trinidad (42-2, 35 knockouts).
Over a span of four fights, Trinidad beat a trio of top fighters: Oscar De La Hoya, David Reid and Fernando Vargas.
But Trinidad hasn't fought since a losing to Winky Wright, the former undisputed light middleweight world champion and a current middleweight contender, in May 2005.
After defeating Ricardo Mayorga in an 8th round TKO, Trinidad took on Wright and was soundly beaten. Shortly afterwards, he announced his retirement. He then announced last year that he would step back in the ring to fight Jones.
Jones (51-4, 38 knockouts) has beaten boxers such as Bernard Hopkins and James Toney, and current top Light Heavyweight Clinton Woods.
Jones moved up to beat WBA Heavyweight champion John Ruiz, but since then he?s had a roller-coaster career.
He barely beat Antonio ?Magic Man? Tarver, but in a rematch, Tarver, the former Ring light heavyweight champ, became the first boxer to knock out Jones.
He only recently resurrected his career with wins over Prince Badi Ajamu and previously undefeated Anthony Hanshaw.
