    I thought that was obvious.

      De La Hoya said he was tired and his legs were starting to shake. He was using his legs quite a lot, and he's never been the most relaxed fighter in the ring. Some people are just born with amazing stamina and I don't think DLH is lucky to have blessed with naturally amazing stamina like some fighters are.

      It's easy to say "he should've gone for the kill" but not easy to be tired and facing someone who hits like Tito did.

      DLH did a similar thing earlier against Miguel Angel Gonzalez, I think he was tired there and bothered by his swollen eye, so he stayed away for a couple rounds, but came back with a strong 12. That fight was more one-sided than the Tito fight anyway, MAGO was target practice for DLH's left.

        Agreed. He wore down in the Tito fight - that much was obvious. And wearing down against Tito in the later rounds usually spells getting KTFO.
