If Tito is so Firend of Winky I will ask him to Train him and show a little defense
I agree. Tito did have to land alot of punches to TKO them, but he did though. Tito is well known for landing beatiful clean shots to the head especially with his left hook. He uses his left hook as a counter punch with great effectiveness. He is very accurate with his punches and lands them at a high percentage with some awesome power behind every punch he throws not to forget his superb condition he brings to his fights. Vargas (154) fell with Tito's first punch but was able to survive and gave a hell of a fight. David Reid (154) took Titos punches for a while before they started to become effective. Yori Boy Campas (147) took many of Trinidads punches before he got TKO'd. Oba Carr (147) did the same as well and lasted 8 rounds.

What I'm trying to tell you is that most of Tito's Ko's have come by accumalitive punches leading to that killer left hook. He constantly puts pressure on his opponents until they begin to drop there guard at a frequent pace. When that happens......bye bye because that is when Tito is at his best.

Now I'm a Tito fan and I admit he's got plenty of weaknesses as well. 1) weak chin. 2) easy to beat if you box him smartly and use your jab for 12 rounds to keep him off of you. 3) fails to make adjustments in the fight when he isn't able to land his punches.

My PREDICTION: It's all a matter of what Tito has and what RJJ shows up. If Tito Trinidad has a least some kind of power at 170, he could be dangerous for RJJ. WHY? As great and exciting as we say RJJ is, he a boxer who loves to drop his guard at times in the fight. Especially mid-way through fights. That is not the right thing to do when you're in there with TITO because Tito is not a dumb fighter, he is waiting for you to drop your guard. Hopkins and Wright proved it by keeping their guards up for 12 rounds and being able to dominate Tito. *** If Tito's power doesn't do anything to RJJ, it's gonna be a long night for Tito and for us boxing fans. I'm picking the underdog Tito on this one w/ a KO in the mid to late rounds. I truly believe Tito picked and signed this fight for a reason. He's not coming back to boxing to make a fool of himself, Something is telling me he has tested his power at 170 and he is satisfied and yet confident coming into this fight. Why else would he take this fight? If my power is the reason I am who I am, Why would I go into a fight w/o my number 1 ability? Maybe he was made for 168 and we never knew it.....I guess we will have to wait and see.
