Result of the Roy Jones Jr. and Tito Trinidad bout @ Madison Suare Garden in 1/19/08 - Jones Jr. gets unanimous decision vs. Trinidad

Jones wins easy decision over Trinidad

Jones pranced and punched his way to a unanimous victory over Trinidad on Saturday night, dominating their 170-pound bout. From the opening minutes to the increasingly lopsided final rounds, Jones simply was too fast, even in a fight that was several years too late.

Jones and the 35-year-old Trinidad might have put on the year's best fight - if the year was still 2001, back when both were kings of the sport.
