    Agreed.

    Tito was simply defeated by a better fighter. A bigger stronger guy who was a natural at 160.

    Any other guy 160 or below would have been beaten by Tito.

    Lol. I just watched an interview with DLH on Hot 97 (NY hip hop station)... I give it a couple months before he's back in rehab. EVERYTHING about Oscar's body language and look says that he's using again. All in his eyes and everything. Dude looks strung out, like he has a legit coke addiction.

    addicts don't go to rehab to get better they go to get people who tell them to get better off their backs...

    That’s one guy, which isn’t exactly a pattern of damning evidence.

    I saw many of his fights. If you wish to dispute my argument start dropping some names.

    Yeah. Definitely no examples as stark as Thiam.

    Turned out to be every bit the mismatch people expected. Fielding just looked happy to be there.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    It was a very English performance, a gentleman's knee, it made me feel like writing a book on English characteristics, using exclusively 1800's conjecture.

    Accurate on all counts.

    And yeah, holy fuck Fielding might be the worst titleholder I've ever seen. Amateurish, fragile, and clueless. Bizarre.

    Hopefully Canelo fights Wilder next.

    For a guy that landed thudding shots and generally beat the hell out of his opponents, Trinidad didn’t really disfigure his opponents. Thiam cut a lot of weight, got hit with about 8 clean shots in the first round and swoll up quick.

    Tito didn’t fight like he was trying to touch his opponents because he knew they’d break down. The punches he hurt guys with always looked like punches that should hurt and if his opponent looked beaten up you saw where the beating came from.

    It was a stiff clean shot and fighters have been hurt, dropped and even knocked out with similar shots. Loading your wraps doesn’t really make you a more powerful puncher because the weight and mass it adds is minimal. It makes the punches literally harder so opponents get busted up, bruised and broken quicker.

    Trinidad made guys dance and lay down with single shots his whole career.
