Bhop vs Tito is in my Top 10 Sweet Science Fights!

I'd say Bhop's best weapon vs Tito was his brain! His ring intellect never allowed Tito to focus on any one thing.
Bhop did some nice circling to his left as stated, but the first bigs shots, he was darting in & out.

One of my favorite rounds (6) he was circling to his right more than his left, never giving Tito a blueprint to repeat anything. And Tito @ 1st, nullified that clinching by placing his elbow on Hop's collar bone- had him hemmed up at the end of the round, so Hop proved he could adjust and fight without clinching.
Next few rounds Harold Lederman pointed out how Hop was now winning with an outside game, since Tito thwarted that clinching.

7th round his jab was nice when he circled left and his right hand landed when he circled back right, Tito didn't know where this dude was going from one second to the next.

Inside game early rounds, fought at a distance mid rounds, another definitive moment was the end of the 9th, Hop kept catching Tito, by keeping his back to the ropes- then ducking under moving to his right.

10th round was a phonebooth firefight neither fighter giving an inch. Tito catching way more than he gave.
11th round he switched up again and took the fight to the center of the ring, lunging with nasty uppercuts, then effectively tying up Tito. Inside combos, outside potshotting, but kept it in the center of the ring.

Huge right in the 12th followed up with a soft push.

Winky beat Tito with less punishment using strictly that jab as his offense and that high guard for a near pefect defense.
Bhop had to switch up styles, using inside game, outside, his jab was effective (when he used it) His combos almost always connected,but had to take a few to do so.


As Master stated he nullified Tito's game by painting a masterpiece using every paint brush in the kit!
