I actually stayed home for this fight tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tito looked good in the early rounds, but Roy Jones Jr was just too big and too fast for him, and really dominated the fight after the first few rounds. I truly believe Tito still has some gas in the tank, but has no business fighting at 170 again.

I do tend to agree with Max Kellerman about Roy Jones Jr's decline having a lot to do with his rapid fluctuation in weight. You look at Roy fighting at light heavy for a long while, and then going up to heavyweight to win a title, and then back down again, and you realize he taxed his body way too much. He also come back way too quick after getting KO'd by Antonio Tarver and really underestimated Glen Johnson.
