Im sure Tito will win this one, but if he wants to be a champ again; he will have to add more to his game. He is great on the ground, but he needs to add Mui Tai and work on his boxing

Still in the ring after Tito lost to Chuck, Tito said he did his absolute best that was all he was able to do. Tito looked like a possum rolling over to play dead in that fight.
If you ask me Tito is over. He hasn’t had any impressive wins in years. He is simply plublicity and after this fight I think even his publicity credibility will be all washed up. I think Tito was over long ago and Tito knows it himself.

rashad siad he walks around at 220-225, probably the difference between weights is because of the difference in their leg size and strength with i think will be the difference and the reason why tito wont be able to take rashad down.

rashad by tko in late rd2 to mid rd3

[quote post="2626"]Fair enough he’s shorter so in theory he can pack on more muscle and make 205…Still I doubt it. Tito must come down from like 230 to be insanely ripped at the weigh-in. Reckon he he’s an awful lot heavier than 205 come fight time.[/quote]

tito said in an interview that he walks around at 215-218 i was suprised, but i think he is quite light because of his chicken legs.

i have no idea why ppl are counting tito out…. rashad has never fought anyone near titoÃ‚Â´s level…..but with that said rashad will give tito some problems…. what is tito known for?? ground n pound… you dont have that if you cant take rashad to the ground and i dont think he can cuz rashad is an excellent wrestler… all american… tito only wrestle in high school and like a year in college his wrestling isnt at that level… so it will pretty much be a boxing match… i doubt kicks will be used because neither one wants to get taken down… but i think tito has better hands so i give him the fight by unanimous desicion

Yeah Rashad dosent hit back either he just pins people on the ground and lets the time run out.
Oh I forgot he KOed Salmon with a head kick,sorry I forgot he must be better then Crocop now musnt he.[/quote]
He also pounded Lambert into unconsciousness in his fight before that. Rashad has evolved beyond the blanket technique. Tito will make three straight KO wins for Rashad.

Someone said a while back in some write up that Rashad would have the strength advantage over Tito…I seriously doubt that. Fair enough he’s shorter so in theory he can pack on more muscle and make 205…Still I doubt it. Tito must come down from like 230 to be insanely ripped at the weigh-in. Reckon he he’s an awful lot heavier than 205 come fight time.

Would like to see Tito use more low leg kicks.

[quote comment="96791"]I still don’t get why he decided to have 2 boxing match with chuck, but now at 32 he really appears to have grown up.[/quote]

What are you talking about,he didnt choose to have two boxing matches with Chuck,Chuck made him have two boxing matches with him,Tito cant take Chuck down and he cant stand with him so hes screwed on that one.
I think he wants to fight Chuck again when Chucks past his prime so he can have the last laugh.
