Couple of things about the Tinordi fights:
1. This was when Nilan was waaayy past his prime, like the Jim Mac fight- I don't think this was a prime Nilan at all.
2. More interestingly ( I hadn't seen this one before) I don't think Nilan lost this one by much at all- Tinordi was busier, but really never landed anything of significance. In fact Nilan probably landed the better punches. Notice at the beginning Nilan got a hold of Tinordi's right arm in a good spot where as MT grabbed Nilan by the shoulder...which allowed Nilan to get inside and score . Tinordi was never great at the defensive aspect...it's funny how many guys grab the shoulder and wonder why they're eating shots....
