The way I see this fight going is Shane Mosley will come out all guns blazing for about 2-3 rounds trying to land the shot to stun pacquaio , if he can do this I feel it will be a VERY interesting fight with pacquaio winning by UD or even SD if it really goes well, However the chances of Mosley landing that punch are around 5% and even if he does he will have 2 keep consistent for the whole fight and because of various things (age, stamina?) I feel he may struggle to do that but if Shane does land that honey punch in one of the opening rounds I see shane having around about a 2% chance of stopping pac in rounds 10-12. Now lets look at if shane dosen't land that big honey punch to stun pac, I think the fight will be controlled by pac for the whole fight , In the worst case scenario I see him winning by 9 rounds to 3 but in all likelyhood i see it as 12-0 or a late stoppage, This is how I think the fight will go and I hope Sugar Shane brings his A game and gives us a decent fight, like i said if he does land the big punch that he has in his locker, early doors, then the fight may be 50-50 ( still see pac winning) but if he can't then pac man will dominate the whole fight and will either t.k.o Shane or win all or the majority of rounds comfortably. Thats how I see it going, anyone else agree with me or disagree in which case I'd like to read what you guys think.
Will Mosley get hit less than punching bag Margaturtle did? Manny landed 474 punches out of 1069 on Margaturtle.
Here's proof of how bad Margarito's defense is: It took one opponent to landed 474 punches out of 1,069 on him, while it took five opponents to landed 425 punches out of 2,664 on Floyd.
this was the best comment ive seen in a while, very true
Right now the over/under is 11.5 rounds. -800 for Pac, +550 for Mosley.
Sorry but Im english and normally bet with the traditional 3/1 or 2/1 system etc. so can you re post and whats the thing about over and under 11.5 rounds? thanks.
yeah mora doesnt engage and is hard to look good against so i think shane will land a little more but i think it will be late stoppage
I think that it could be around rounds 6-8 which you can get good odds on.

Mosley will probably land a couple of bombs early on, but nothing serious. Pacquiao will gain momentum as the fight goes on, he starts to flury Mosley, and he's starting to land heavily on Mosley. At 8'th round, Mosley starts to take a beating, he can't see the shots coming anymore - he's gassed, and in survival mode, throwing wild punches but missing. Brother Nazim tells Mosley 'I need to see something, or, I'm going to stop this fight. This is your last chance, before I stop this fight'.
Nazim will THROW the towel in the 10'th, or stop the fight at Round 10.
Nazim will STOP this fight, he is a top man, and will not let Mosley take a beating.
Pacquiao by Retirement.
I don't know. Pacquiao should be the favorite, that much I know.
Mosley CANNOT win by decision. Even if he looks competitive and manages to get to the final bell, the politics of boxing will give Pacquiao the close rounds. Mosley has to deliver the performance of his career to win this fight...
Actually, I take that back. Shane has to land one of those huge punches to win by KO. That's all there is. He doesn't have the skills or stamina to go twelve rounds outboxing and outworking Pacquiao. And even if he does, and I hate to say this, the judges WILL NOT give this fight to Shane. Too much at stake for a future fight with Mayweather (whatever slither of hope there is).
It should be interesting while it lasts. The best punch against a southpaw is the right hand (although I don't know why) and that is Mosley's big punch besides the leaping left hook.
Other things to consider:
-Pacquiao hasn't looked invincible like he did against Diaz, De la Hoya, and Hatton recently. Although he completely dominated Margarito and Cotto, he took his share of punishment in those two fights. It's just that the damage he dished out overshadowed the punches he took. Let's not forget that, we don't know if Pacquiao will suddenly look a tad slower than before.
-Pacquiao is not Mayweather. Meaning, he doesn't take time to warm up. Floyd has been shown to start off slowly and typically is most vulnerable during the first third of the fight. Look no further than his fights with Judah, DLH, Hatton, Mosley...
Pacquiao is ready to go from the moment the fight starts. I don't know what to say about Mosley, though in regards to how he starts off.
The thing is he has to catch Pacquiao early or else he will get tired as he's shown before, and Pacquiao will wear him down en route to a late corner stoppage around the last two or three rounds.
I'll say it again: MOSLEY CAN ONLY WIN BY KNOCKING PAC THE **** OUT. NO DECISION, NO DRAW, NO DISQUALIFICATION, NO CORNER STOPPAGE...MOSLEY HAS TO KO PACQUIAO!
My 1,000,000 to anyone's 300k Mosley doesn't win more than 2 rounds on a judges' scorecard. Does anyone want this? Good odds. :D
I would take that bet at my 100k to your 1mil , and I agree with everything you say Pac man isn't losing by decision!

Mosley's X-factor is that he has the biggest one-punch power out of all of his previous opponents. DLH doesn't knock you out with one punch, neither does Hatton, Cotto wears you down, Clottey hasn't knocked anyone out in years, Margarito (see Cotto). Mosley can bang. The question is: Can he land it? He either ends the fight abruptly or he's not in it. Period. The fight won't have ebb and flow. It'll just go the way most people predict or Pac ends up getting KO'D out of nowhere.
I'll say it again: MOSLEY CAN ONLY WIN BY KNOCKING PAC THE **** OUT. NO DECISION, NO DRAW, NO DISQUALIFICATION, NO CORNER STOPPAGE...MOSLEY HAS TO KO PACQUIAO!
My 1,000,000 to anyone's 300k Mosley doesn't win more than 2 rounds on a judges' scorecard. Does anyone want this? Good odds. :D
pacquiao is gonna move a lot he's not gonna stand there and trade with mosley,just look at the margarito fight...margarito has slow foot work so roach had a good game plan..stick and move..he will do the same against mosley,he's gonna try to get him from the angles he won't stand there and trade with mosley..later in the rounds when mosley becomes tired due to his old age pacquiao will do less moving and rely more on his speed and punching volume.
pac potshots mosley for the first 4 rounds, using his legs and angles. mosley will try to punch with pac, but pac won't be there to trade with him.
in round 5, pac picks up the pace and mosley is reduced to trying to catch pac with one big punch.
in round 7 and 8, mosley takes a beating. Nazim tells mosley he's gotta show him something or else nazim will stop the fight.
round 9-10. mosley runs to avoid getting hit.
round 11-12, nazim's had enough and throws in the towel or the referee stops the fight.
I agree he's going to get his a** whooped but his last fight is simply not a good matchup to gauge that on. Name me one person who has legitimately looked good against Sergio Mora? MAYBE Vernon Forrest the second time.n At least Pacquaio will stand and trade with Mosley which is all Shane can really ask for at this point. It's just not fair to compare his upcoming fight with Pac to his fight with Mora because of the DRASTIC style differences. Mosley isn't going to have to go looking for Pac and chase him around the damn ring. This all depends on if Mosley is truly SHOT or if the last 2 fights were simply bad matchups. I would say it's 75% chance Mosley is just completely shot in which case he is going to take the beating of his life..we shall see. Pac UD or late stoppage by Richardson.
LMAO Brian Vera looked pretty good
How's it going down? Just watch Shane's last fight and you'll know he's in for a beating.
