Very interesting theory to say the least. But I wouldn't bet the farm on it. This fight comes down to the type of fighter eachone is. Mora is a semi-slick Boxer(Mosley doesn't do well with them generally, but Collazo is extremely slick too, and Shane looked better against him than anyone ever has(Besides Cassiani, who we havent heard from in years*retired*). So to say that Shane can't deal with a slick Boxer would not be a total truth. Shane's gonna wanna get in close in this fight, and if he can do so, he will take Sergio's heart(I'm not sold on Mora's will, and Shane has plenty even when he knows he's outmatched).
Look for Shane to have to depend on his legs quite a bit, cause he WILL have to cut the ring off(not his greatest attribute through the years). Sergio tends to lean to his right very low, and takes away his height advantage. He leaves his jab out too long and admires his work far too often. Shane is stronger at 154 than at 147, so if he connects solid and often, it will cause Sergio to change up and be uncomfortable. This fight is alot closer than most think IMHO, as Shane fights better against the typical Mexican head 1st style and we all know that this is not Mora's style.
Look for Mora to shine for a few rds then Mosley realizes that Mora couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag and walks him down, throwing bombs the entire time until Mora looks like Margs, crumpled on the canvas...true story
I don't know why people don't notice how up and down Mosley has been in the last 5 years.
He's has a great fight, a ***** fight, a good fight, another ***** fight.
It's nothing new.
I'd argue from the David Estrada fight on, he's been very unpredictable.
If you wanna get surgical about it he looked like **** against that Jose luis Cruz guy and he looked even worse against Raul Marquez when that fight got stopped on cuts.
If we wanna be truthful, we should acknowledge that Mosley pretty much hit a wall after the second Forrest fight.
People took too much away from the Margarito fight.
