****! what's with all these hard polls lately (that's what she said). i love tito but mcCallum had the best chin in junior middle history. he was also an underrated technician whose skills were overshadowed by his beard and inhuman body punching. having said that, tito was still almost 100% at 154 and as shown with vargas, tough, skilled and a ridiculous puncher. i see the first 6 going similarly as mike's fight with curry but with trinidad landing killer blows. he'd look to wear mccallum down but mike would come on in the late rounds, his body attack slowing tito down enough to do some damage and scrap out a draw. yes a draw...i'm copping out
my only concern was that he was a terribly slow starter at times (jackson fight the exception). ****, tito was a slow starter to...nevermind
Tito ain't outboxing Mike, and he sure as **** ain't knocking him out. It'll just be a long night because Trinidad always got up.
Mike would beat him 10 times out of 10...doesnt mean it wouldnt be a competitive and sometimes brutal fight...But Mike a clear level above in every department bar power...which his chin and high level of technical ability pretty much negate.
