Tito was a beast, he was lanky and had power but boxed well too, one of the all time greats for sure. I was fortunate enough to watch all of his fights growing up. My first boxing match my pops took me to was the Tito v Mamadou fight, I was around 9-10 yrs old, it was me, my dad, and my great grandfather. It felt like we were back in PR, it was like the island came out to see Tito fight, I’ve never felt/seen support like that in any other sport that I’ve been too. Tito went out and dominated Mamadou that night, KO’d him in the third, just walked through him, an elite fighter in his prime on full display. I’ll never forget that night, the atmosphere, the crowd, the fight it is something cemented into my mind forever. That ended up being the year before my great grandfather passed and looking back I’m greatf my dad took both of us to go see that fight and share that experience together, it’s something that I’ll never forget

[@austonsmith536]

yeah, he's deceptively fast and doesn't constantly do the same movements making it a nightmare for his opponents. Tito will will stand there half a second to a second then bob left then right... side step... then step into his opponent the whole time feinting jabs measuring distance and his opponent's reaction. On top of that he slips most of the punches and gets a few counter shots every round, turning defense into offense. And then he peppers those body shots as well... all of these factors in a smart fighter makes a perfect fighter.

Prophetic words by the great Bernard Hopkins...

[@lewest7317]

The extension Tito can achieve with his arms when throwing his punches is amazing. The combination of 4 shots in the first round is something hardly seen.

Джоппи недооценил тяжесть ударов Тринидада. Руки на яйцах, как говорил наш тренер.

William Joppy fought like a novice that night. What was he thinking? He was fighting one of the biggest punchers of that decade and his defence was terrible. In the first round, his hands were very low leaving his head exposed. Reckless tactics. The first knock down was a gift. Joppy was a talented fighter, but he did some strange things in the ring that cost him fights.

Rex Word dude Its strange asf how he was boxing its like he wasnt even using common sense to box he just let himself get tired and when it was too late he wanted to do things right. I love tito but man joppy couldve done better

[@Aerojet01]

I agree. Tito was an unbelievable fighter with power in both hands. A legend. Joppy had a great career, but he could have achieved a lot more in boxing. I remember, he did silly things in the first fight against Green.

[@HugoFlores-tx5bc]

Good observation, he had the heart to be great, but had poor defense and tactics. How about Body shots and hold like Hopkins lol , move use your jab when far away, how about more weapons like jab to the body and upper cuts down the Middle.

[@brianticas7671]

joppy underestimated Tito. He had been a 3x champ at middle weight. Danny Jacobs is the modern day William joppy.. Secondly he said no way Tito was going to beat him coming from welterweight. So that's what happens.

[@TheSmithDorian]

He probably thought that Tito wouldn't be able to take his power up with him to Middleweight. I think the problem for Joppy though wasn't Tito's power as such - it was his precision. Fighters can prevail against monster punchers if they don't get hit cleanly or if the puncher doesn't have a high workrate. Unfortunately Tito had accuracy, power and a high workrate.
