First of all congrats to Floyd on his great win.. but WOW why did Mosley gas so early? he was panting real hard after the 6th round and his punch output was pretty poor. I mean, Mosley is a fit guy but what made him gas so early? It wasn't like the fight was high tempo or anything for the the first couple of rounds. Mosley looked real tired last night, could have the lay off been an affect?
It's exactly what Floyd Sr. Said Shane would be fighting "Jittery" which means he would be nervous, which makes you tense and that takes up alot of energy. Not to mention he's going for the K.O. Same thing happened to Zab.
Guys lets be real.
Age and ring rust. Lets not try to act like Mosley was this young cat who fought at least twice a year.
mosley is elite enough to take long breaks and still be good. i think the clinching in the early rounds tired shane out. he usually gets stronger and didnt last night. twasnt age either. frustration.
Re-watched the fight and Mosley is gasping for breath at the end of the second.... not sure what's going on there....
Agreed.
Mosley has always had pretty good stamina imo. For someone who through a ton of hard shots at a granite-chinned margarito last year for nine rounds to someone who's gasping after 2 rounds. Even if you overtrain, i would imagine you'd have more gas left in the tank.
Larry merchant seemed to have had a tone of suspicion whilst interviewing shane last night.
Im saying shane career is over. i don't care what anybody said, shane barely throw any combination. And the sad thing is that floyd throw more punches than shane. When the hell you ever seen shane pick his shots. Shane fought like his age after his dumbass tired himself out after the 2nd round and its sad. But give props for floyd for beating shane. he took advantage of shanes mistakes and made him pay. But just don't act like floyd just beat a prime shane.
Hatton, Oscar
He was on edge from round 1 and was real jerky, may of sucked alot of his energy up. If i remember i heard Nazim say 'You ****ing fainting on me' lol Shane looked physically and mentally tired after a couple rounds..
Because he was nervous a little tight , used a lot in the second round then got his soul taken from him in every department , you get tired the moment your mind knows you are in over your head and cant win .
floyd was to good for him
He tired physically because of all the nervous energy he had, proven in how tight and jerky he looked.....and the fact that he's almost 39 years old.
He tired mentally because after round 4 he realised he couldn't win and Mayweather was confusing him, making him work extremely hard. Mosley just had no idea how to deal with Mayweather's skill.
He trained 6 weeks for the Berto fight, the fight got cancelled. Then almost immediatly signed up to fight Floyd so started training for the Floyd fight. He's pretty much been training since December non stop. The body needs time to rest between fights but Shane pretty much had 2 back to back training camps.
At 38 years old, he was bound to be over trained.

Mosley looked out of it after the third round. I believe he left to much in the gym. He had already trained for a month prior to the cancelled Berto fight, and was back in the gym two weeks later for a couple of months in preperation for the Mayweather fight. That amount of training can't be good for a 39 year old veteran, who hadn't fought in 18 months. He just didn't look at the races. After the third, it looked as if he just wanted to collect his paycheck for the evening. He also completely abandoned his right hand, which up to the third round, had brought him the most success.
Very disappointing performance form Shane. He looked every year his age last night. No will, no strength, and no drive. A sad way to end his career.
Missing 80 percent of what you throw usually makes people tired....
I just can't believe that after all this promotion you guys are now going to the age is why he lost shit.....or my favorite.....Shame over trained.....what the hell does that mean.....He was in too good condition?
Im not saying Mosley was old.. Mosley just looked extremely tired after round 6 and by then it wasn't as thought he took Mayweathers best shots by then. It looked all over after round 6, Mosley just didn't have anything left in the tank. He looked in great shape..

I don't know if you ever boxed, but getting hit gasses u.
Floyd is surgical with his deconstruction of a fighter.. He took Mosley's heart and his wind.
