Given that Tito is going to have a huge weight advantage over him, would losing to Tito really hurt Shlemenko's stock?
If he was a legit LHW then without question it would but given that he's clearly not I don't really see how much damage it could do to his career if he lost.
On the flip side, how much would beating Tito boost his stock? Beating anyone with a 35 lb weight advantage outside of the heavyweight division is most certainly going to help you out but at the end of the day we are talking about Tito.
It's a weird fight and I'm intrigued because of the size disparity but I don't really know much it would hurt or help Shlemenko's career depending on which way it goes.
at this point in Tito's career Shel would be a laughing stock if he loses
ESPECIALLY being a title holder
Tito should be insulted that he was called out by a bloated welterweight.
It's sad he's excited about this...
grkblood - Given that Tito is going to have a huge weight advantage over him, would losing to Tito really hurt Shlemenko's stock?Look how much it hurt Bader.

Bader wasn't an undersized middleweight.
Tito will probably get injured before the fight even happens
Alot, even though he is moving up he is fighting a broken down old man who won 1 fight in how many years.
Would be terrible for them.
But I think everyone thinks Storm will touch Tito and he will fall down.
Considering no one even knows who the fuck he is, it won't hurt him at all.

Bader isnt a champ.
Bader isnt the best Russian fighter in mma today like Bjorn says Storm is.
Bader also isnt the best MW in the world who could beat any MW in any org like Bjorn said Storm is.
I can never look at bader the same after the tito loss.
I try but i cant
Tito got me into this sport. I would love to see this fight, I hope we see some classic ortiz elbows and GNP!
Chris27 -Spinning back kick to the body KO, Tito has shown that he can't take body shots anymore.

I would have been interested if they had booked randleman vs tito.
They didnt so im not buying their product.
Arachnoid - Considering no one even knows who the fuck he is, it won't hurt him at all.Lol noob
Storm is a welterweight who likes to eat so he fights at middle. He won't even weight 200lbs come weigh ins. Losing to Tito wouldn't really hurt his stock.
I imagine Bjorn has flown in Bob Sapp to help train Tito for this upcoming fight.
They'll feed Tito a champ so they can sell him as a legit challenger. He would e undefeated, after all. In Bellashit.
losing 1 weightclass up aint no big deal imo
I don't think it would effect Shemlenko too much its certainly possible if Tito can get him down but let's be honest Bjorn is hoping Tito looses to promote how great his MW champ is beating a name casual fans know.
It will be the end of Tito. It's a pointless fight and even with the size difference he's going to buckle under Shlemenko's strikes.
