A media workout was held today at New York's Church Street Gym featuring fighters from Saturday's "Bring on the Titans" boxing event at Madison Square Garden and on HBO Pay-Per-View. Felix "Tito"Trinidad, Roman "Made in Hell" Karmazin, Alex "The Technician" Bunema and Devon Alexander "The Great" all performed a light workout and answered questions.
Trinidad will face Roy Jones Jr. in the main event; Karmazin will square off against Bunema for the World Boxing Association Intercontinental super welterweight championship; and the undefeated 140-pound Alexander, 20, will take on the toughest test of his young career taking on former world champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley.
FELIX "Tito" TRINIDAD: "I will carry my punch to 170 pounds. I feel strong at this weight. My hands are ready as they have always been. When I catch him, he will feel my power. I have been training for six months to make sure when I step in the ring I will be at my best. I wanted to fight at this weight and I feel stronger today than I have ever felt. I'm ready to go.
"I have always sparred with bigger guys and we brought in big, strong fighters for sparring. Tonight is my last sparring session and I feel great. I did a lot of sparring for this fight and I'm ready to go 12 rounds but if he goes early I can go home early.
"The last time I was an underdog was against De La Hoya and you see what happened. There is still time for people to change their bets on this fight. Anyone who bets against me is going to lose a lot of money."
"I want all of my fans here in America, in Puerto Rico and anywhere else in the world to know that I came back to fight for them. I will not let them down. Tito is back.
