15 Mosley--3 Mora--4-Draw
still havent seen the fight but this many people cant be wrong right?
Alot of people were biased because of the HBO commentary, if you watch the UK HBO Feed you would agree with a draw or Mora win. I thought none of these guys deserved a WIN. Reminded me of a BHOP fight, a snooze fest.
I didnt watch the fight but from what Ive gathered from casual to fanatics is
1. boring az fight
2. Mosley dominiated the fight
3. Mosley needs to retire
4. Mora needs to retire
if by dominated you mean
- Mosley can't follow his corner's advice anymore.
- Mosley still hasn't found an answer for anyone who has an awkward style and some boxing ability, or can clinch.
- Mosley still has no real footwork.
- Mosley lost the fight.
then yeah. Mosley seriously dominated.

I have to watch this fight again. Maybe I was sucked into HBO's commentary, but through round 8, Mora had only landed a handful of significant punches.
Controversial stuff. Green K for good thread though.
