I’m 32. If this wasn’t the best match of my generation, it was certain the most meaningful, considering what happened that month. God bless America! 🇺🇸
One of the best ring walks of all time. You can feel and see the love and pride Tito had for Puerto Rico. Dang I wish he won that fight. That’s badass how he stayed in NY through the whole 9-11 situation and never went home until the fight happened over a month later. Loved the respect he and his pops paid the the NYPD and NY firefighters. This mexican loves you for that. MUCH RESPECT
Lindsey B Im a huge boxing fan since the early 80’s. I’ve seen how fans reacted to Chavez and those were incredible. But this entrance was nothing like those. With the 9-11 situation just happened and him at his heights of popularity plus him and his dad showing the upmost respect for the NY firefighters and police. It makes for the best entrance ever.
I went to a New York Yankees game👍 planning to go again 👍 Great people 👍🌍 Represent! NYPD vs. FDNY -... Police🚓 Department ( NYPD) and the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).🚒 ... and boats displayed a blue line honoring the police force. Hey honor Hospital workers 🏩 an ambulance 🚑 department being a paramedic is a serious reality 👍
@ hound both were champions they had a mini mw tourny back in 2001 and these were the 2 last guys . Unfortunally my boy tito got schooled in this 1 ...lol
Aside from the crowd being hype, I really don't see what Tito did here that was so "amazing"... He shook his little Puerto Rican ass and got beat by Hopkins putting on a masterclass.
You guys just have different DNA then us colored folk… I’m black American and Tito’s entrance was so live he showed out for NY post 9/11 and the boriquas came out in droves!
The best entrance he ever had would be the worst night he had, meaning that he would lose that night for the 1st time in his Pro Career smh. But hey Puerto Rico never stopped loving him.
The only reason you would lose to a great fight is cuz you're actually in the ring with a great fighter instead of waiting until they have the name of a great fighter in the game of someone 7 years past their Prime that guy would fight anybody and keep coming forward even if you shot him eight-time
I’m honduran but my grandmother married a Puerto Rican man after my grandfather had passed so i basically grew up with Puerto Rican culture cause my grandmother would take care of me before and after school, and I have so much respect and love for the Puerto Rican culture and why it stands for. Respect from a Honduran!
He may lost this one fight badly but theres one thing you cant take away from tito HE DUCKED NOBODY AND FOUGHT EVERYONE AT THEIR BEST BORIIIICUUUAAAA FOR LIFE 🇵🇷
Most of Tito's fights were in NY coinciding with the Puertorriquen Day Parade. After the parade people would flock to see him fight at the MS Garden. Filling it to capacity.
trinidad humilde y buen peleador como wilfredo gomez, cotto, vazquez etc grandes peleas jamas enemigos saludos desde México a la toda la raza borinqueña
tea marks First off was nothing illegal about Tito’s hand raps second Tito is loved by the people of Puerto Rico waaaaaaay more then Hopkins is loved by blacks like when Tito fought the whole island shut down and the government makes it a holiday whether he won or lost the people waited for his arrival at the airport and celebrated all along the highway as Tito drove by did any of y’all do that for Hopkins nope Tito is still loved by the people today and he’s hasn’t boxed in a long ass time matter of fact when the people were protesting the governor and he showed up everybody was chanting Tito Tito Tito Tito just like in his glory days so don’t get it twisted whatever it is y’all feel for Hopkins cannot compare to the love that Tito gets to this day facts.💯🇵🇷💪🏽🤦🏽♂️🙄🖕🏽
tea marks I watched that fight you dip shit he complained about Tito having too much padding around his knuckles which is not illegal they only re wrapped his hands because they just wanted to fight.
I mean.. i didn't matter in the end because tito ended up losing the fight via TKO in the 12th and Even if he made it to the desicion I doubt tito would have won either way
@@FNRZ350 Tito has more love and fame then Hopkins how many people mention Hopkins now how many have as an all time great exactly in the words of Kieth Sweat nobody LMAO.🤣
That ring work was inspirational. I'm not sure if it was the same fight where he protested the United States military causing cancer in Puerto Rico. He's a man amongst men. Whoever that was also super disrespectful to the champion. Hopkins always felt job and was kind of bitter and angry he must have been stewing. I'm not sure what made a difference but
@@jayacevedo3801 ring walk I meant. And Bernard was the well-established middleweight champion Tito was coming into his division. Boy basically Don King thought this was going to Crown Tito the star and cash cow. So Bernard had to play the B side in his own division. That's that's the reason he enters to the song I Did It My Way he always felt slighted and always expected to be screwed.
That 2 weeks lay off affected Trinidad Performance , no excuses but I know deep down if the fight happen schedule on the 15th Tito would have won , Hopkins went back to Philly to train .
What an entrance for the peoples champion The whole crowd roared with him Let the result of that night not take away a thing from his legacy.... remember his opponent got tossed out of the ring in his last fight
@@fightsforrights i suspect this PR instagram crowd is the newer generations born after the new millenium and know almost nothing of Tito. But the older generation who dont care about social media, who watched Tito when he was fighting and in his prime adore him everywhere he goes.
@@stuka80 Well if that was true then Mike Tyson would have low numbers as well but he is recognized by even this new generation. It just seems like the Puerto Ricans really loved before but have forgotten about him intirely and it could be because of the loss to Bernard Hopkins. I tell everybody who listens that Hopkins was unbeatable at that time. Donk King messed up Trinidad,s career. I was thinking at the time why wasn't the fight postponed since he was helping out the 911 victims.
@@fightsforrights Your comparison is flawed. 2 things you already know is that Tyson is first of all American and second, he's a global celebrity that have long ago transcended the boxing world. Of course he's going to be more popular overall than Tito. But i guarantee you Tito is far more loved and popular with Puerto Ricans than Tyson is. Pacquiao for example, is a god among Filipinos but he only has 7 million followers and i bet you half of that aren't even Filipinos because Pac is popular all over the world, despite the fact that there are 110 million Filipinos. That would be less than 3% of total Filipinos follow Pac on Instagram so going by that number, seems Filipinos dont care about Pac but we know thats not true at all. So judging how popular a fighter is in his home country based on instagram followers isn't a good measure.
do you homework bro....Pacquiao has fought marquez 4 times,morales barrera,hatton,de la hoya,margarito,bradley,miguel cotto. Mayweather fought diego corrales genaro hernandes jose luis castillo canelo maidana hatton shane mosley miguel cotto de la hoya zab judah
+Matias873 Mayweather never fought the best of the best in their prime. Pacquio did fight the best fighters of his era only he was on steroids. Leo is still young so his resume is incomplete., however Tito was the man without any of those questions.
Ron Rollerson we will get through 2019👍 I will post this story every year 20_ _ because its Powerful 👍 I had to edit two storys so I don't scare people but this is a serious an sad reality Former Temple big man Ron Rollerson, having lost a leg, finds a new sport Posted: May 24, 2018 - The dream came first in the hospital. Ron Rollerson was playing in a basketball game. He was his old self - he still had two legs. His dream changed up history. His Temple Owls were playing Seton Hall in the NCAA tournament. Temple fans with a memory to 2000 will cringe, going straight to a day that derailed maybe the Owls' best shot at the Final Four under John Chaney. In this recurring dream, Rollerson comes off the bench to help save the day. He is the hero. Temple moves on to glory. RELATED STORIES Olympic hopeful Thelma Davies is outrunning opponents, even a mysterious rash Did Rollerson's subconscious pick this most memorable basketball game as a hinge point for Rollerson's own life? The dream, Rollerson can tell you, doesn't begin to capture all that went through his brain the last two years, since a serious decline of health in his Left leg;" in 2016 took both his left leg and the life he'd known. "Forget trying to walk a mile in my shoes. Most of y'all couldn't do 5 steps,'' Rollerson told the world last year on Facebook. "Now spend a day wandering around in my mind." Rage and despair, the worst kinds of thoughts, they all moved through. Suicidal thoughts crept in. How couldn't all the thoughts? You wake up after 11 days in a coma - you assumed it was just the day after you went to the hospital until your family sets you straight - and you find out they hadn't been sure you'd wake up at all. And the big news they have to tell you: They've taken your left leg. You're partially blind in one eye. Eventually, only four toes are left on your remaining leg, the one that had been your bad leg your whole hoops career, which included overseas journeys and almost two years with the Harlem Globetrotters and a near-miss trial with the Sixers. You don't stand for eight months. You blurt out online: "Patiently waiting for my turn on a blessing." Your basic decency, a trait that was always as noticeable as your massive frame and nimble mind, isn't always enough. An artificial leg is sometimes the least of your adjustments. As you're trying for your footing in this new world, an old basketball trainer from your teenage years says, "Weren't you a swimmer before you were a ballplayer?" Almost heaven in the water In the back of the workout place in Cherry Hill, there was a swimming pool with four lanes, two swimmers in the pool. Rollerson moved from his wheelchair to a chair that would slowly drop him in the water. The swimmers saw him in the chair and, without speaking, switched lanes to free up the lane by the chair. Ted Davis Jr. hit a button, and Rollerson lowered until his right foot touched the pool bottom. "It's a little chilly,'' Rollerson noted on this recent Sunday morning. Davis, who used to help Rollerson with hoops, swam to the other end using freestyle strokes. Under the water Rollerson went, his arms surging out in a breaststroke, taking up practically the entire lane. For seven or eight strokes, Rollerson's head stayed underwater before he came up for air. Midway down the 25 meters, he veered slightly left of center until he corrected himself on his next stroke. He kicked harder to get himself all the way down, head now popping up every two or three strokes, water moving in his wake. The stroke itself, the arm movement, stayed smooth. The stroke of an athlete. Davis mentioned Rollerson's coming up for air at different points - "You want to be more consistent." MIKE JENSEN / STAFF Former Temple basketball player Ron Rollerson, whose leg was amputated in 2016, working out in a pool. He has a new goal, swimming in the 2024 Paralympics. MIKE JENSEN / Staff Still in the water, Rollerson took big breaths. Any race, he said, is at least a year away. "I'm still trying to get the conditioning now,'' he said. When that happens, Davis said, watch out. "You're three times stronger than me and you're 6-11,'' Davis added, pointing out how far down the pool Rollerson could move in a single stroke. The stated goal is the 2024 Paralympics. The breaststroke, a grueling test for any swimmer, is the stroke least impacted by having one leg. That'll be his event. "This is baby steps,'' Rollerson said from the pool. "Even if I don't do it, it gives me something to shoot for in my life." Part 2 Rehabilitation👍 Nobody in the world 🌍 wants to experience what Ron Rollerson went through 💧😢🏀 a Temple University grad a legend to me👍 Mental illness is a reality 👍 physical disability is a reality👍 no one is invincible👍 RON'S STORY “It’s sort of like a fraternity. You’re a family member,” Ron says. “I look forward to coming back and helping someone with my story.” From his days on the court at Temple University to playing professional basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters, 37-year-old Ron Rollerson has always had a competitive spirit. When an aortic dissection almost took his life, Ron never stopped fighting. By September 2016, Ron had retired from playing professional basketball and was working in construction at the University of Pennsylvania. Though he had always had high blood pressure, Ron was in generally good health and, as all signs would indicate, this Wednesday was no different than any other. As fate would have it, that Wednesday would change the course of his life forever. At around 8 p.m., Ron was settling in for the night and watching TV when the health and my legs decline👍 After a few minutes, Ron could no longer walk and called 911. So he can get a emergency ambulance! Paramedics they save lives👍 When he arrived at the hospital, his echocardiogram (EKG) returned normal, and physicians clamored to figure out what was wrong. At that point, Ron was experiencing a horrible pain. Sweating and panicking, he noticed that some feeling had returned to his right leg, and then his left. When things started to get hazy, they rushed him into emergency surgery. Two and a half weeks later, Ron awoke to discover that he had experienced an aortic dissection, an injury to the innermost layer of the aorta that allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing the layers apart. Having been given only a 20 percent chance of survival, he had beaten the odds. However, more challenges were yet to come. Ron arrived at Magee in December 2017 after a long battle with infections, multiple surgeries, and a hip disarticulation amputation. “After a few days, I felt like coming to Magee was probably the best thing that happened to me. I felt like I couldn’t have had a better physical therapist [Aliah Keirsey] or occupational therapist [Mia Camhi],” Ron said. “They helped to lift my spirits, and even though it was a fight for them to get me going, they kept pushing and pushing me. I will forever be grateful to them and the nurses, CNAs and other therapists. In a lot of ways, they really saved my life.” After three and a half weeks as an inpatient, Ron left Magee. Now a patient at Magee Riverfront Outpatient Center, Ron is making progress each day. Magee will always hold a special place in his heart, and eventually, he hopes to return to the hospital as a volunteer. “It’s sort of like a fraternity. You’re a family member,” he said. “I look forward to coming back and helping someone with my story.” Ron also shared his advice for those willing to listen, whether they have been through a similar experience or not. “I would stress to anyone to cherish life because things can change, and God has a way of humbling us even though it’s not always the plan that we have,” Ron said. Ron, however, has found a new appreciation for life through his experience. “I have to remind myself at times that I’m fortunate to be here,” he said. “I see life as a blessing; not as a curse. Regardless of what you go through or the situation you have to overcome, adversity is adversity, and there’s always someone to help you. Magee is a testament to that.” My words My Mind and life is a Ron Rollerson 👍 and I'm getting help with my treatment team👍 nami.org

Tito wasn't supposed to move up to fight Hopkins every Puerto Rican knows that Trinidad's father screwed Trinidad with this fight. Bernard Hopkins was supposed to move down and fight Tito at Tito's normal weight
People for forget mayweather and pacqiou moved up in four to five different weight classes. They fought who was there when they arrived in that weight classes and they clean out there respectively weight classes.
