    Does anyone else notice the similarities between Rocky and Tito?

    Both huge puncher...amazing left hooks...

    But...

    Put a guy in front of them that has some speed and a good jab and they both look like fish out of water. Rocky would have been better of fighting Chi last saturday.

    We will probably never see Tito fight again and whenver Rocky faces a fighter like Raheem or Soto who can control a fight with a jab he is going to be in trouble.

    Does anyone else see the similarities in these two?

    Tall fighters with good jabs are going to give him trouble. One thing Juarez could of done more was use the jab himself. He could of setup alot more shots throwing the jab more. When he did he stuffed it in Soto's face but didn't follow up with it.

    Juarez didn't get blown out in the fight just outworked. There were alot of close rounds that Soto won based on outworking Juarez. Juarez defense seem to disappear in the fight as well.

            I agree with you, I still think that rocky should have been the agressor in this fight though and not try to box Soto for the same reason that Sotos jab was in rockys face the entire fight, so if rocky would have put pressure on Soto and try to make the fight an inside fight (cause rocky is shorter) he might of had a better outcome, I wouldnt say win the fight cause Soto was inpressive outboxing rocky the entire fight, but at least it would of been less onesided like it was.
