Shane COULDNT PULL THE TRIGGER:39yrs old,15 months off & IT SHOWED
Just as i suspected, shane is past it & couldnt pull the trigger. Just as i suspected, a physically & mentally shot margarito made shane better than he actually is.
After a couple rounds of looking good shane completely dropped off in his aggression, workrate, & stamina. Its the classic example of a old shot fighter fighting an elite fighter.
See:
Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins - after doing well in the first half of the fight knocking down calzaghe, the 2nd half of the fight everything slowed down for hopkins & he had to be relegated to faking injuries just to stave off a slapper. He was 43.
Joe Calzaghe vs Roy JOnes jr. - after doing well the first couple rounds & also knocking down Calzaghe, jones fell off the cliff. everything went down. his aggression, activity, strength, stamina went down hill. He went into a defensive shell & laid on the ropes the rest of the fight. He was 39.
Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar Hoya - after having life in the first couple of rounds, he was cooked & done. He laid on the ropes & couldnt pull the trigger anymore. Everything shut down. He was 35.
Now lets go to Shane vs Floyd. He was doing great the first couple of rounds, hurting floyd & almost knocking him down then the 2nd half of the fight he completely gassed. The physicall toll of not having fought took over his body. He was gassed by the 5th-6th round. He was just in a defensive shell the rest of the fight. Even that round that he hurt floyd in he couldnt finish him off because he already blew his load the first half of the round.
See Joel Casamayor vs Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz was off over a year & it showed in the fight. He should have never been outboxed by a slugging plodder like santa cruz. He was 37.
In conclusion, the common denominator all the fighters i have described is that they are all way past prime & their age & similar fate in the ring vs a younger fighters proved it. They couldnt pull the trigger because they were past prime & shot.
It is a very good win for floyd. Not a great one. It says a lot about Floyd's career that his best win came against a 39 year old fighter who hasnt fought in over a year & a half.
