I was watching some Pre-Fight conferences with Shane and I noticed him starting to show signs of being punch drunk.
Has anybody noticed this recently?
Could it have been from the Cotto fight?? because prior to that I seen him being interviewed and speaking very clear and using full anunciation. Lately he hasnt show that Shane Sharpness.
What are your thoughts
here are some examples
Before
Now I cant emb this link so yoru gonna have to click on it. but watch this video and he starts showing the signs

He sounds differnt' imho because he is in training and that weight draining, sparring, diet fucks with you mental health, talk to him a week later after the post poned fight after he's rested and not have to wake up and run, train, diet, sparr and im sure he'd have those quick repleys again. And trust me a boxer knows when he is not on that day.
Mosley definitely sounds different. I don't think he was distracted because he's done plenty of media events before and knows to put his game face on. If he isn't drunk in that second video, he needs to lay it down.
And no thread starter, you don't develop pugilistic dementia from one fight.
he looked pretty hurt in the Forrest fight too but I just thought he seems a lil slower recently it probably was a long night ,he was tired, and the commotion combined
Nah Sugar Shane is fine, he turned towards that girl once so he was a bit distracted, especially with all of those people. He has taken some good punches but above all the Cotto fight was the roughest for him.
Yea he is one of my all time favorite fighters.
He shows class in and out the ring, Has respect for all opponents and the sport itself, has fought great oppositions and will be a considered one of the great fighters of the new millenium.
Id rather see him look like leonard than looking like Mclellan in the future it would break my heart.
Im not trying to reach at anything shalafi - shit happens as we have noticed in some fights like Taylor Chavez and Mclellan Ben.
Couldve been the commotion could be punch drunk we dont know but je definitely looks like 2 different people in both videos
Hell no, I don't think so. Shit, the man hasn't been down hardly. He can take a good punch. He says he has a thick coat on his body, well not just for body shots. He's got a real nice chin, and he hasn't taken too many hard shots to the head minus the Cotto fight. I think as someone mentioned, it was just all the commotion and people around him, he couldn't focus on the interviewer and then having to think real fast on the spot.
i think its a reach
the first video is just him and the interviewer
the 2nd theres a whole bunch of commotion and loud noise everywhere. so if that were me i would be less articulate as well
