Pulling your head back against a committed sharp shooting straight puncher is a no-no. Tito by Ko at some point, probably mid to late.
Much as I like Tito, he showed me against DeLaHoya and Hopkins that he doesn't have anything even remotely close to a Plan 'B' when things don't go according to plan. He has no other option other than to trudge after the other fighter who is boxing smart. Moreover, 160 was never his comfortable weight. I see Graham outboxing Tito, even making him look very pedestrian and winning over the distance. Scartissue
Graham one of UK's greatest fighters. I'd pick him to UD Tito, but Tito would have his moments. Graham just better overrall fighters and great movement. I do think Graham might have some problems with Tito's short hooks. Graham wasn't a fast fighter IMO, but I think he would respect Trinidad's power and win an easy decision. Tito wasn't the best technician, but he wasn't reckless with his punches. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36RtxyWDWDQ[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njrK6gPV_II[/ame]
at the body slam in that Graham highlight.Such a dirty fighter. As long as he didn't go to the welll too much with the reflexive showboating stuff, i tend to think he would simply be too good a mover for Trinidad who pressures at about the same steady pace as McCallum and has even worse feet than the shot Kalule Graham faced.Both might have to survive some rocky moments though;Graham generally too ill-disciplined to box a focused 12 rounder without getting into a few exchanges, which could see him hurt and Tito very vulnerable to flash knockdowns against those short punches from 10' and 2'oclock angles/while twisting away that Graham used.
