Roy Jones Jr. is looking to show some of his old magic against Felix Trinidad but how much does the old superstar have left in the tank? The physically gifted Jones still shows flashes of his former boxing brilliance with his fast hands but not with the same confidence of his prime. The 38-year-old Jones is far past his prime but he still has power in both hands, agility, intelligence and a hurtful body attack. Sportsbetting.com has Roy Jones jr. at -350 boxing betting odds.
The big knock on Roy now is that he can be hit easier than before with his diminished reflexes, and he has a chin made of porcelain. Roy can be caught with his hands low but he still can counterpunch with his left hook with great leverage. Roy’s smooth style and boastful personality still makes him a pay-per-view attraction but is hunger for boxing is questionable.
In his last fight Roy was able to outclass the tough but ordinary Anthony Hanshaw in one of his best performances in years but his opponent was tailor made for him. Roy Jones still has superb balance and he can create angles with his quick feet but he fights in spurts nowadays. Jones appears to understand that he cannot take a good shot to the head any longer by fighting with extreme caution most of the time. Can Roy show the world and the big crowd at the Madison Square Garden on Jan. 19th?
