I was rewatching the fight the other day, and I still have a hard time understanding what happened to Shane after round 2. How do u nearly decapitate your opponent in the second round, then forget how to fight there on after. Yes Floyd made adjustments, but not to the extent where Mosley should have completely stopped throwing punches the way he did.
What is your take on what happened?
Most of these guys have never even sparred one round.
I know, I spar twice a month and if these guys ever experienced any actual fighting they would'nt say any of this bull ****
That's why I never disrespect any fighter even the ones I don't like
because i know what it takes
Listen to Mosley for the answer.. Mosley can't adjust like he claimed he could in the pre fight interviews, and he isn't as fast as Floyd like he claimed... Mosley only fights one way, even if he doesn't realize this himself. Then when things got hectic in the ring he was trying to adjust against Mayweather and that just ****ed him up even more.. Then he was trying to be faster than Mayweather by winning the feint war but that was downright foolish too. He got lured out of his game plan and into Floyd's world. then it was over, and I agree he was fighting to survive in the champ rounds..
Mayweather was faster, a far far better adjuster, and Mayweather had Mosley timed... end of.
Straight right hands weren't responsible for Mosley being gassed in round 4 when he hadn't been hit much.
Mosley was never gassed. Who said he was gassed? He looked fine to me in the 11th and 12th rounds? A gassed fighter would quit on his stool by like the 7th or 8th round.

LOL
"40 year old Shane was too old!, fight someone your age!"
"No, it was set up! Shane almost stopped Mayweather then stopped fighting after round 2..He was paid..I'm a hater"
:lol1:
Maybe when Floyd stopped boxing and went toe to toe Mosley was surprised and didn't have a plan B for 1. Floyd's speed combined with him coming forward 2. Floyd's accuracy, he can't miss, on top of pressuring Shane and Shane's defense never being great against boxers 3. Floyd being almost as big as Shane or just as big and the height differential wasn't that much either, Shane's only 1 inch taller. Mayweather had the speed to beat Mosley to the punch. Mayweather was boxing and being defensive in the first 2 rounds obviously, he just changed up his style from defensive to offensive and Shane only had an offensive style.
He gassed. I don't know why, I don't what went wrong, but he was tired in round 3, completely gassed in round 4, and dead on his feet from round 6 on. It's hard to throw when you are physically just unable.
Mosley remembered the orders his boss, Floyd's promoter GBP, gave him backstage.
If Mosley would have finished off the cunt, Mosley would have been kicked out of GBP and sued by Oscar for millions of $$$ in lost revenue from a future Pac-May fight. Mosley is a warrior, but he has kids to feed and alimony to pay.

mosley is almost 40 years old
Actually he didnt. I dont recall him making any attempts at throwing a meaningful power punch after round 2.
looked like he made a very rookie mistake and went for it early, which made him tight and he gassed then could never put his punches together. dont think for a minute though that Floyd wasn't mainly responsible for what Shane couldn't do. Floyd fought with balls pressing the action which is not what Mosley expected. He kept Shane off of his rhythm and worked him over good.

Really? Then rewatch that. Mosley's left hook was as good as useless as Mayweather is a master at takin' that away. Mosley's jab is garbage, and Mayweather bending at the waist/ keeping his left shoulder up neutralized Mosley's overhand right, Mayweather already timed him. Mosley then resorted to using his shitty jab; which Mayweather constantly was able to set up the pull counter against, and thats that...Mosley was done. Of course, OSDT also comes into the equation :)
I know boxing and I know for fact that Mayweather Mosley was staged fight!
Mosley wasnt allowed to throw head shots after he almost knocked china chin out with right slap in round 2
You're thinking to hard. The simple answer is the correct one. Floyd made the proper adjustments, he got mosley's speed down and maintained the right amount of distance throughout the rest of the fight.
Floyd does that a lot though. Perfect example is Zab Judah, It took floyd a few rounds to really get Zab's speed and timing down, hence Floyd losing a couple early rounds and even getting rocked and nearly flash knocked down. He completely dominated after though.
yeah, the uncanny ability to shut down zab judah after 4 rounds...... :lol1:
baldomir has it too or you know.....almost everyone thats ever fought judah :lol1:, just they dont always win....

floyd is what hapopened.if you watch the 2nd round outside of those 2 punches mosley didn't really do anything floyd still was doin more and would of clearly won the round if not for those 2 punches, i don't know why people make it seem like shane was winning rounds

Wow, so now he was nearly decapitated? If I remember correctly he didn't even go down to the canvas.
