Quartey vs Trinidad @147

[TitoFan]

I always liked Quartey (rooted for him vs DLH), but I think he plays into Tito's style. Yes, Tito went down early in fights, but it was more a balance issue, and he always came back strong to KO his opponents (until BHop, that is). Tito had quick hands and a great left hook. I think Tito stops Ike in a fast, action-packed fight.

You kidding me, right? His knock downs against Reid, Campas and Cortes weren't due to balance issues. They were due to him getting hit on the chin

Chill VD. I didn't mean they weren't legit knockdowns. Only that Tito didn't have the best of balance when he was caught by some of those punches. Why else would he get up so quickly to pounce on his opponents? Case in point was the Campas knockdown. He was caught by a good, short right... but his balance wasn't very good at the time of the punch, either. BTW... who's Cortes?

Crap this is tuff the deeper you think it. Forget all of that 154 woulda coulda....at top 147 here. I just have to go with Tito on track record. He's been dumped on his azz but hardly did he get up dazed and confused. I still say the worst I've seen him damaged off a right hand was vs. Anthony stephens (147) who found him over and over while being robbed of a KD ruling.

Ikes jab was a potent poison and only way I see him winning is ala Vince phillips...just exploding once in early control and raining down, and no Tito didnt have Vinces chin... Quartey swarmed but was open,wide and stood tall...at times had that minor 'open gloved' slap punch . I think Tito survives onslaught and picks shots off of Ike's daunting but predictable pump jab . He was sharper, more selective puncher and relaxed down the stretch.
