Mosley: My Body Shots Can Give Pacquiao Big Problems
By Lem Satterfield
Five-time titlist "Sugar" Shane Mosley, who is considered the clear frontrunner to face eight-division king Manny Pacquiao on April 16 at the MGM in Las Vegas, saw a few openings that he liked while sitting ringside at Cowboys Stadium on November 13. That night, Pacquiao dominated and battered Antonio Margarito for twelve rounds. However, Pacquiao himself was hurt bad to the body near the end of the sixth round.
Mosley will not reveal all of his planned tricks, but he appears ready to target Pacquiao's body, which is something few opponents attempt.
"I think that everyone saw that Pacquiao got hurt to the body in that fight with Margarito. Some things happened to Pacquiao in that fight. I mean, Pacquiao is a tremendous fighter and he's got great hand speed and he's always a warrior. So I think that it's going to be a great fight," Mosley said.
"There were some opportunities that you could see there to be able to take advantage of the body. Being that my body shots might be a little bit harder than Margarito's, yeah, I think that my body shots can give Manny some big problems."
