This one should be a WAR!!! Personally I take Trinidad, better technical fighter. Mugabi still through his punches with Malice. Would be a fight of the year candidate. Who wins Fellas!!
Mugabi is one of the most historically overrated fighters ever, mostly b/c people love Hagler. Tito KO.
tito could be hit and hurt early even when relatively young , mugabi as with most bangers was also fragile . tito's problem here would if he did get hurt early mugabi would have the power to finish him, dont get me wrong if it was a shoot-out tito could well ko mugabi too but for me tito needs to box on the outside here for the first three or four rounds before possibly stopping the beast later in the fight
Yep! Haglar was on the back side of his career when he fought Mugabi. He wasn't anywhere near shot, but he was well past his peak. It was, and still is, a fun fight to watch, but the truth about Mugabi is that he lost everytime he stepped up in class.
Tito by KO!! Mugabi can bang but tito rips him up as Mugabi would be there to be hit he would be eager to trade with Tito and that spells lights out!!
Sorry,Boo.Hagler simply couldn't get out of the way of a punch anymore.Just look at the Roldan fight,too,while you're at it.Hagler still had his monster chin and fine punch when he fought Mugabi,but nothing more.His once terrific reflexes were a distant memory and his feet were stuck in quicksand.The fact like a slowpoke like Roldan could land on him regularly is all the proof you need.
Tito was a slow starter and more of a accumulative puncher, but he was pretty precise. I think if he used that piston like jab on Mugabi who threw wild hayemakers he'd get Mugabi off balance and prevent him from getting set. Tito I think breaks him down and might get floored himself along the way, but he'd land some nasty body punches on Mugabi before pounding his head in. Tito also fought more aggressively when anyone dared going toe to toe with him Tito tko 8 Mugabi
