    Did you see his "impressive" heavy bag workout on the Calz-Hopkins countdown?

    "OMG MATE!!!! a thousand and somethin punches in x amount of time"

    Those were NOT punches, mate.

    Those were arm flings while he was squared up. What he was basically doing was moving his shoulders back and forth.

    (i thought the bag was pretty cool though, how it kept track of the punches,etc.)

      I think he meant to say trade punches with Tito. Even Jones did'nt do that. You would be asking to get Ko'd. Ask Mayorga.

        Joe is a power swatter. I bet flies know exactly who he is. Tito on the other hand has power, not heavy hands but straight up punches that pack a mean wallop.

Took them well but he was the smaller man moving up and it eventually took its toll once Mayorga got tired. Made for an entertaining fight though.
            Yeah, we all know Mayorga got KTFO 3x in that fight, that' what's gonna happen if you engage in a slug fest with Tito. we also knew that Mayorga has a granite chin and thoe free shots were not flush.

              I don't know man, I remember that second left hook Tito threw caught Mayorga good. Mayorga was hurt but he was just playing it off with a zab judah fake shuffle on his feet. It took a great body shot to take the rest out of Mayorga in that fight. But ya Tito has good power, but for being so damn skinny I just don't see how. Even with his good punch technique his punches for some reason where very strong. I say he put something in his gloves to help him achieve more power into his punch, he only got caught once though, but I forgot which fight it was.
              Either way Joe doesn't have more power than Tito, Joe punch technique is just horrible.

                Did Tommy Hearns put something in his gloves as well?

                    Tommy hearns was ripped as hell. He wasn't skinny lanky like Tito was.

                      he had decent pop against RJJ for the first 5 rounds of their fight.
