That's basically stating that in Tito's 40 previous professional fights, the person from the opposing camp present to watch Tito's hands get wrapped was incompetent. That may be true, but if it is, it's sad that those people weren't educated enough to protect their boxer. One more thing; Why didn't Pernell Whitaker get knocked out by Tito? He's 5 inches shorter. Why didn't Dela Hoya?
Pernell had a great chin and was a veteran and knew how to survive.

De La Hoya ran the last 4 rounds.
