because their interviews are usually of the speculative nature. One fighter is going to go here, fight this guy and so on. This one is about a fight we have all seen.

I believe it is. Its just that tito has such a rep for a big mouth that people expect to hear this type of thing from him.
Bunch of sheep

I believe the article mainly because he makes the points that I made right after the fight. The format it's presented in does present some journalistic credibility issues however. Doesn't mean it's crap though. I can see how if you're a Chuck fan boy or a Tito hater how you would choose to see the article as crap. Everyone has biases, there's nothing wrong with that, it's a human condition.

no tito is my favorite fighter, and i know that the fight was stoped at the right time, that was titos fault for going fetal, but what makes this article look fake is they said middle weight belt and it was for the Light Heavy, and then the article said this made it even more unbelieveable "But I think John McCarthy is the best referee we have and this was the biggest fight and I don’t understand why he didn’t do this fight" Tito said he didnt want big john, because big john ignored the eye poke or some shit or he just dont like him.

It is dumb that ortiz is bitching about it now because after the fight someone asked him if it was stopped prematurely and he said Yama did what he thought was right.
Tito would not have fought harder because he is scared of chuck. I actually thought that this fight could go either way, but now I think that Chuck would win 100% of the time. Big John should have reffed that, anybody else wouldn't look right

agreed on all counts.

yama does appear to stop fights early. that arlovski cabbage stoppage made me mad. andrei is my favorite fighter, but cabbage has a jaw made of steel with concrete poured in it. he definately could have continued.

i think tito waited to bitch because he was fighting the best LHW there is, and probably wanted to sho some modicum of respect. and yes, he's afraid of chuck.

I would have understood more if the fight was stopped in the 1st when Tito was in trouble, but the shots to the shoulder were not enough to stop the fight. Personally I believe Chuck would have eventually won anyway, but why not have it be definitive and have Tito take 4-5 shots consecutively to the face or head so that there is no question? Before anyone starts barking about "fighter safety", if there was a shot landed where Tito goes limp (i.e. Shamrock) stop the fight. Tito was in trouble and the fetal position certainly didnt help, but Tito's earned the right to truly lose and not be bailed out by the ref. Nonetheless, while I like Tito, I think once he gets hurt or caught by a good shot, he loses confindence.

i dont think that this is real. i dont like tito but i dont think he is this dumb.

[Ubermensch]

I think the article also is BS and I like Tito alot.
