Good article and an excellent point about Tito making the mistake of getting into a slugfest with Liddell.
At the end of round three Tito got hit hard and if you watch in slow motion, Tito counters with a good right with a pissed off look on his face. Then started exchanging with The Iceman BIG BIG mistake! The rest of course was history.
Tito i think fell victim to anger. It was obvious at the end of round 3 he was POd at that last landed blow by Chuck and Tito looked like he did vs. Frank Shamrock when he threw wild trying to counter Frank. That fight as well as we all know ended badly for Tito.
He's simply not a good counter-puncher.
New Ortiz, Same Result as Liddell Stops ?The Huntington Beach Bad Boy?
