kinda sad to watch.. but at least he did the right thing..
he sounded like he basically told shane, that hes prolly not gonna win but begged him to at least do something, fight back or something, he said "stop lookin for the perfect punch, there is none".. he just wanted shane to survive and finish with dignity.. but yea mad respect to both naazim and mosley...great performance by floyd btw.. i was dumbfounded when he got rocked in the 2nd.. i didnt wanna see that...ahha
i agree with Bill Olden to an extent i think nazim like bhop has the look that you expect from someone in boxing and becasue of that he gets more attention and acclaim that he might noramlly do. both nazim and b-hop use the language that you would expect from someone in boxing as well.
imo ssm had all the tools to beat floyd but he just doesn't have the mindset, imo ssm is great in a shootout where his power and speed will get him the KO but show him a slic boxer ala forrest or pbf and he doesn't know what to do. he loads up on every shot, throws powerful punches in singles and expects for his naive 'power boxing' to get the job done.
power boxing is fine aginst people like margarito but you need to have aother dimension to your fight game. you need to learn how to use your speed and box, how to to be patient and then when the opponent opens up in the later rounds you can lay into him with your power shots then. i honeslty think that ssm is one of the most igfted athletes iv ever seen but imo that poor training style that his father raised him with meant that he only developed one side to his fight game
i suppose thats the difference between floyd and other fighters in that floyd has so many different dimensions.
no he could and did execute it in the first 2 rounds,he did it too well and even wobbled the hell outa floyd, his own success with landing and doing damage made him go stupid and go or that 1 punch.
if shane hadnt had hurt floyd or carried on doing the game plan that clearly worked then he could have walked out winning by UD or even KO.
i still wouldtn mind shane to have 1 last crack at this match if pac v floyd dont happen.
but ide say mayweather vs pac happens, berto vs mosley happens and shane gets 2 titles to retire on, no idea who wins between pac and floyd,so exciting to just think of what could happen.
Naazim knew exactly what he was talking about, he clearly had a plan going in that Shane could not execute for whatever reason. Naazim was the man last night.
Richardson is perfect for Mosley, is a great trainer and a great guy......
He understands Shane and you can tell that they are close,
Shane struggles with his confidence, He has none.
Mayweather knew that and he fed of it on the run up to this fight,
I think it did effect Shane to a certain extent, In round 2 I think when he hide Floyd he thought it was over,
Then when Floyd survived and came out in Round three and totally punished Shane it threw Shane off, Floyd was talking shit to him aswell,
He was getting into his head.
Shane would of been great if he had Nazim in his corner his whole career,
Nazim aint just a great trainer but he is a great person and seems to understand Shane,
You will notice even in the Margarito fight when Shane was clearly ahead,
Nazim kept reassuring him that he was doing good,
"Your combinations Shane, Nobody in this divison has them like yours,
Keep running the combinations knock the grease of this dude,
Then swim withouth getting wet,"
Then tonight when Shane was clearly behind,
He was telling shane to move his head and work,
Was obviously by the look in Mosleys eyes he was in a bad way physically and mentally.
He made Shane even repeat what he said.....
Nazim Richardson ATG Trainer/Person :fing02:
Richardson is dedicated to what he does and everything but how is he an ATG trainer? He found the loaded handwraps and exposed that whole situation but what has he accomplished as a trainer?
honestly he is just a colorful personality and that is why he gets all this attention, he's good for TV. the guy knows the language and motions of the sport, exudes that tough sophistication you expect from a crafty old boxing guy and basically is a real-life version of a guy who plays a boxing trainer in a movie. some would look at that and say, yeah he's hardcore, old school, his life is 100% boxing but take away all the TV cameras, all the entertainment value and he isn't impressive.
if he said "lay into your punches and exit at the safest angle without getting out of position" instead of "swim without getting wet" would he get so much attention? I remember reading some article where they referred to him as a "sage".
he may be an HBO ATG or something but not a boxing ATG. he's got a bunch of well rehearsed lines and phrases and he's confident and well-spoken without being rude. like he said on 24/7 "the whole world is watching" so I think he consciously plays the role of an entertainer. lots of style, little substance.
I knew there were problems when his hands werent wrapped and nazim just had a look back there that made me feel that he wasn't feeling cinfidence because shane wasn't. I thought I was reading to much into it after reading your post it came back to me again, and your right he does feed Shanes confidence but I think tonite he knew it wasn't there and he tried to stay positive but he knew and was as shocked as we all were. I like Nazim but he has had two tough orders for fights here with Jones and Floyd back to bck.
Yeah man I noticed that to, Its a pity about Shane tonight,
But fukk it he is only human he was going up against the Best P4P out there,
Biggest fight of his career, Suppose he is only human.
Gotta Naz for him tryna stay confident,
Confidence and believing in yourself is a big part of this sport alot of trainers wouldn't work with somebody who suffers in that area,

Saddest part is when he said "shane, repeat after me, "I will step over and realease". ? Ok shane? now repeat me, repeat me shane." Then shane says it like he thinking wtf is that gonna help me do? And someone in the corner says " Your taking away all his confidence" to nazim.
the look on mosleys face was classic by than he already gave up mentally.
