Poll to come... I dont see shane bringin up his speed with him to 154 i see a sluggish performance similar to the mayorga fight. every1's telln me Mora's gettn sparked out in 3 but i dont see it happenin,
what are you predictions? heres mine
Mosley pressures Mora until he traps him against the ropes and then he breaks him down with body shots....Mora gets KO'd within 8 rds
dude, mora goes to the ropes himself, he loves it there......when he didnt fight once a year, he was actually good at countering off the ropes....
mora will do what he does......some crappy jabs to look busy, then strike with lead power shots, then clinch and explode with a hook upper combo, then clinch again, then work some pitter patter in the clinch until the ref pushes them apart...and then move and set up his offense again.....
if mora had the confidence to actually apply that style for a long time, he'd actually be a difficult guy to fight(in terms of winning rounds...he looks flashy when he does that ****)....but since he started fighting sparingly, he tries to move and fight outside too much, which he doesnt even know how to do properly...even with his decent athletic talent...
but he is in there against a guy who isnt that smart a fighter and who doesnt have good fundamnetals(i love shane, but it is what it is), so i dont see shane exploiting the flaws that mora has(inconsistency, lack of technique)
I think this is an intresting fight because Mosley doesnt match up well stylisically with boxers or people who move but at the same time everyone he has been outboxed by has enough power to keep him off them. Mora doesnt really have the power to keep Shane off him so i think there will be alot of times where Shane will be able to get inside and let his hands go, i think its a very winnable fight for Mora but im leaning on Shane in this one, i think he can win by KO of course but also i think a descion win is very possible for Shane, i'm looking forward to this.
your point being?
That whole 9th round he tried to wing wild shots to take Forrest out. Shane hurt Margarito and held him as well. That's what Shane does he clinches a lot.
relax im just saying
at 1:12 shane hurt forrest then decided to hold him....-_-

In the first fight with Forest he did get jittery for the rest of the fight.He became hesitant.
I understand from the get go your a mosley fan and you invested a lot of your time into Mosley, that's cool. But seriously, Mosley was actually fighting back and not jittery like he was in that Mayweather fight. He def wasn't hesitate, he tried to take Forrest's head off but couldn't.
Compare Mayweather fight to this.
If you guys dont want to accept thats cool Just my opinion. No more about this from me.

Mora isnt gonna lay on the ropes for mosley to hit him, hes either gonna move or hold mosley
Do you actually honestly seriously believe out of ALL Mosley's 51 fights even against Forrest when Forrest actually buckled/hurt/dropped Mosley with a counter right hand over the top that Mosley would just sit there jittery for the rest of the rounds cause he is afraid to get countered. Doubt it

Shane got tired because he fought so tense against Floyd. Floyd countered the **** out of him and Shane became afraid to throw because he knew he was gonna get popped. It had everything to do with Floyd. Mora aint Mayweather.

Mosley was caught up with Balco using EPO. EPO is an endurance enhancer. You think since depending on EPO so much that after he was caught he would naturally be useful without it? Mayweather knows he was still on it, so he drug test him. Hence Mosley gassing out so fast. Mosley vs Mora does not have olympic style testing that I know of so you will see the same Mosley before the Mayweather fight. Dunno If that will help him cause he still sucks against pure boxers.

he doesnt have the power but he does have the lateral movement, shanes not going to want to get hit in this fight so if mora comes out firing expect a caucious mosley in the ring
Mosley will not be that caucious if Mora comes out firing..Mosley loves the thrill of a good fight.Remember he is fighting Mora not Mayweather.If you do not have anything to make Mosley think twice he will be all over ya ass..
Mora isnt that quick or that slick, and he punches like a ****ing women. Shane will get him out of there inside 12. Yeah he beat Forrest, but then he also lost badly to Forrest. That is all Mora has. He isnt world class or even close to it and has never faced the best. Shane has slipped, but a 70% Mosley will still win by knockout.

Agree with this post :fing02:
I'm off though, don't want to start shit :)

I hate it how people say that. He's a professional athlete, he should be able to go more than 2 rounds without gassing! if he tired late, then i'd agree, but it was after just 6 minutes of boxing (and barely anything happened in rd 1)
It was the ring rust, and the effect of two back to back training camps on a 39 year olds body. Floyd fans will argue that floyd's superb skills and deceptive punching power did that to him. BS, Wright and Forrest won convincingly, but never did Shane start breathing through his mouth and look like he couldnt pull the trigger
I would start to question the Floyd/Mosley fight either it was rigged or not if Mosley will not gas out within 4rnds with Mora.

Mosley was never great at 154 - last time at the weight he struggled against Mayorga. I don't think this'll be a good fight to watch.
You know what you're talking about.
Mora won't rehydrate up to 170, but he knows how to tie up and Mosley is complacent in the clinch, he won't fight out of it.
This is a tossup fight.
