Mike is a straight up guy, slightly connected from his days back in MA, live in Southern Florida, does ok. The dude that did give him a beating (Chris) went to jail for murder, became a rat, went into the witness protection program (he ratted out NY mob for activities in SI) and just popped up in LA. Won't be long before Chris is taken for a walk himself.
Mike is not a loser. Titus on the other hand was into drugs, tasering and burning people figuratively.
