That beating was way too much for a young fighter. Five knockdowns, and all of them crushing knockdowns. Sustained punishment.
In his next fight he was dropped by the light-punching welterweight Wilfredo Rivera.
Not just dropped but wobbled bad. Rivera could've put him away. Then, in his fight after that, he was hurt again by his sparring partner. Tito didn't ruin him but he ruined his chin.
