[ZootedGranny]

Going into the fight, I had Jones winning in 7, so I'll take a decision.

As for fighting Calzaghe, he doesn't want that.

Round 9

Roy lands a left-right combination straight down the middle, and another right. Tito flurries, but again Roy just blocks almost everything, before backing Trinidad into a corner and unloading his own, sharper flurry.

Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Jones, 10-8
Darius Ortiz scores it: Jones, 10-8
Round 11

Not surprisingly, Jones is looking pretty relaxed in there, as he should be, given that this is pretty much a sparring session for him at this point. He is moving forward, landing left hooks to head and body, mixing in an occasional right hand, and stopping every now and then to raise his guard and block Trinidad's attempts to respond. Give Tito credit, though: He is outgunned and outclassed, but he is hanging in there, and throwing punches.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Jones, 10-9
Darius Ortiz scores it: Jones, 10-9
Round 12

Jones is dancing and smiling as Tito presses for an opening. Then Jones launches a brief flurry to rock Tito back once more. Jones retreats to the ropes, Tito fires to his body, but his punches have no effect. Jones lands a sharp counter, and a leaping lead right hand. A right uppercut/right hand/left hand combination lands for Jones, and then another flurry. A four-punch combination bounces off Tito's chin. The fight ends, and the two men smile and embrace. Easy night at the office for Jones.
Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Jones, 10-9
Darius Ortiz scores it: Jones, 10-9
Roy Jones has earned a unanimous decision over Felix Trinidad (116-110 twice, 117-109).
