Sorry I came late to the thread, but to suggest that either Tito or Rashad looked good in that fight is to provide misleading information in defense of your point. Essentially nothing of consequence happened during that fight until the end of the third. I agree that Tito won two rounds to Rashad's one round but so little happened in the fight (the second round specifically) that if Rashad had finished the takedown attempt - the one on which Tito was deducted a point for holding the fence - it would have been his round 10-9 rather than 9-9. People often forget how maddeningly disappointing this fight was.
