Just wanted to be the first person to post this.... And since boxingscene will be overloaded for 48hours before and after the fight, i thought i'd jump the gun.
Its not an excuse when its true.
Was Shane not 38?
Was Shane inactive for more than a year?
Do those things help to make him look even worse?
yes
yes
&
yes
So, how is it an excuse?
Roy Jones was said to be old and shot at 35.
Was Shane somehow young and prime at 38?
I think you're missing the point...
this thread was started before the fight took place, burner pretty much called what would happen and how people would react...
then it happened....
Yeah you called it....

Yeah this is crap man. A prime Shane would have Floyd out of there in 6 rounds. Floyds lucky he boxes so much or he wouldve been KO'd. He wouldnt let Shane hit him with his hard punches the punk kept deflecting and slipping his punches.
Shane had him with the jab then Shane got tired. Floyd wins another crap fight. However Shane takes the rematch. He will figure Floyd out and not be rusty this time.
:pat:
:rofl: :rofl:
Thats the number 1 excuse.

Round 1
(30 secs into the fight) Manny Steward: The fight is going exactly according to how I thought it was going to go.
Lampley: Yep
Fill in the rest.........
Larry after 3 rounds how do you have it?
Ok Jim, 30-27, 3 round to nothing Floyd Mayweather Jr, Jim Shanes got to show some lateral movement...he walking right into to the jab then Floyd jumps with the left hook or Straight right...
Jim: Well I see it the same way...
Manny: I just don't get it Shanes got to throw more punches he just not doing it.
Max: well Floyd not giving him the open shot if it was Pacman then we would see those angles and how Floyd would handle it....blah blah
that wasnt a knock down..I watched the replay closely and it was a slip..
Mosley did rock him hard, but the corner was wet which caused him to slip..(thats my story..and Im sticking to it!)
Such a closed minded person i just can't believe it....
Hey at least Shane knocked him down once (It was ruled a slip but it was clearly a knockdown if you look at it from a different angle)

Damn looks like SSM got frustrated that Floyd wouldn’t stand in front of him and go toe 2 toe...I was surprised at how fast Floyd’s body work slowed SSM down, you could see that SSM let up on the pressure in round 6. I thought he would get frustrated in rounds 7 or 8, but I think Floyd’s body work had something to do with it.
They got to stop letting BHOP in the ring post fight... It was totally uncool of him to call out david haye while floyd was doing his post fight interview.
Shane was predictably respectful in his interview, but he shouldn't have brought up a rematch, it was too one sided, and he really looked his age.
lmao..I thought Ellerbe was gonna flip, did you see his expression..
you can tell he was thinking "not this bullshit again..."

Manny's prefight prediction has been that it will be a 50/50 fight which doesnt say much cause he didnt lay it on the line to pick a winner. But rest assured by the end of the fight even if its 9 rounds to 3 he will say it went exactly as he predicted.
