That's not a smart bet. I think Silva should will this but he isn't the same Anderson Silver from even a few years ago. Tito's striking has improved while Anderson has gotten older and significantly slower. Anderson without his superhuman speed just isn't the same fighter and he'll be up against a guy who is naturally a lot heavier than him. I could see Tito refusing to trade punches with the counter puncher and doing a lot of clinching.
Does Silva still have enough to defeat Tito? I think so. I hope so. But it's not a bet I would be comfortable going all in on.
Silva is a natural boxer and always had been. It's not about speed, it's about skill, and Anderson is a least 2 levels above Tito.
He's gonna run a clinic on him.
