Tito Training with Freddie Roach

and i heard he's negotiating for a fight in Nov. against Coleman.

Roach is seriously going to do wonders for him. It may not take effect for the first couple of fights but every MMA guy he's worked with has made an obvious improvement. He just needs to remember his base is wrestling and not to forget that. AA completely forgot his MMA background i think untill he decided to throw that knee heard round the world.

Some improved boxing will definetely help tito

Any boxing skills at all will help Tito!

Tito seems hungry and realizes he needs to improve his boxing. He's not going to beat Machida but I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped back into the mix with guys like Forrest/Page/Evans/Jardine who really aren't that better than eachother. He is as good as any of those guys on his best day.

I so want to say that Page is head and shoulders above that grouping, but he certainly has not shown it in head to head matchups.

I agree Tito can def hang with that grouping, he actually hung fairly well with Lyoto.

Tito(if he beats coleman) vs Spider makes so much sense.

Tito got his ass beat for 15 min straight vs Machida. He did not "hang with him". Tito did lock in a triangle for a solid 8 seconds before Machida got out and the top position on Tito.

Okay that didn't come out right. Tito was unable to inflict any damage to Machida. He got tossed when shooting and dropped a time or two. Not quite an ass beating for 15 min.

No Tito quite thoroughly got his ass beat. Remember how it got to the ground? Machida rocked him like a hurricane with a knee to the body and got anxious trying to close it out.

Yeah this was right about when Lyoto was being called boring. As opposed to his other recent fights, Tito def hung in pretty well.

Put Page hasn't in his career shown to be that much better than Ortiz other than one-punch knockout power and his fight with Henderson.

Remember when Tito kept Wandy on his back the entire fight and even dropped him with a punch? This was a prime Wandy who four months later out wrestles Henderson and keeps him on his back for nearly the whole fight.

I did not mean to seperate Page from Tito, if anything Tito's career is better, I wanted to seperate Page from Griffen and Jardine, but head to head matchups suggest that I cannot.

Its not going to help his chin as it didnt for arvloski.

Tito doesnt like to get hit he curls up like a little girl

war coleman I hope

Tito doesn't like to get hit? How about the end of round one I think in the second fight. Tito is a warrior.

Nice Freddie will do wonders for Tito's boxing.

Hopefully some of Tito's charisma can rub off on his wild card stablemate my boy Amir Khan he needs some desperately
