While it was a good performance by Winky, it's more that it was a horrible performance by Tito, and horrible cornering.
Wright was never effective if he was moving back. I noticed this in the 2nd round and watched it throughout the fight. Wright usually just covered up if Tito started punching and coming forward. He didn't really counterpunch Tito, he just beat him to the punch everytime and never committed himself and always kept his hands high and kept Tito moving back with his jab. It was up to Tito's corner to tell him to never take a backwards step after round 3 when they saw what was happening...and saw what it was going to take for him to win.
The warrior may be gone from Tito. He knew he was losing, yet he took NO chances, was never agressive, never loaded up or tried to push Winky into the ropes. He basically used none of his weapons or advantages. Winky may be bigger, but Tito is still the bigger puncher. Tito never had a backup gameplan, his corner never gave him other options and a sense of urgency.
Tito didn't have one blemish, bruise, cut or swelling on his face at the end of that fight. If you get outboxed like that and your face looks the same as before you entered the ring, then you should be ashamed. There was nothing on Winky's punches...he never sat down on a punch the whole fight hardly- all arm punches. Tito and his corner let arm punches and jabs beat him that easily without making (or even attempting) any adjustments? Embarassing.
Tito should be ashamed of that performance. His corner should be as well. He either needs to retire, or he needs a top quality trainer who can think on his feet during the fight and tell him how to make adjustments and be real with what's happening...
