i still think floyd mosley second round is strange

Mosely had a good round bout he wasn't able to close the show. He might have been able to do it against someone else but Mayweather is on another level. Mosely also said he had injuries in the fight so maybe that's the reason he went into cruise mode for the rest of the fight.

I wouldn't go into conspiracy theories but it was strange. Those first two rounds Mosley looked like he was going to sweep the fight and that second round was pretty exciting. But after that it seemed Mosley looked tentative. Maybe it was the layoff or 39 year old legs. I doubt he was paid off. There isn't any amount of money Haymon or Floyd would have reasonably given Mosley that would have been worth taking Floyd's 0. Mosley would be an all time legend and would have had huge paydays after that.

All his fights after the PED bust are strange. He just did not have the juice after that round.

It was as if Mosley forgot how to throw a punch after he rocked Floyd with those 2 shots. Sure Floyd adjusted and came back strong, but it still doesn't explain why Mosley didn't throw another meaningful punch for the next 10 rounds.

mosley was off his roids.

mosley missing like an idiot on a hurt defenseless floyd? hurt? sure. defenseless? get your head out of your ass, bro. floyd was hurt but he was far from defenseless, mayweather on wobbly legs still has better defense than most fighters when they are completely fine. if you are going to describe floyd ****ing mayweather as "defenseless" you have no business calling anyone an idiot. mosley touching floyd with his gloves while floyds on the ropes instead of doing damage? attempting to blind and distract him to set up heavier shots. its a very basic thing to do which is also why it didn't work, floyd knew what he was doing and didnt bite on the feint. floyd gets whoop early in the round and finshes the round walking down and whooping mosley? floyd always comes back strong when someone hurts or just stuns him. against both corley and judah he spent most of the remaining fight walking them down and beating them up. dropping corley like 39 times and nearly stopping both. floyd is always in tremendous shape, at the end of the round he had recovered. floyd was hurt and instead of running away from mosley he goes towards him? he didnt have the legs to run, he was smart enough to realize shane would track him down easily and take advantage of his poor balance to nail him with big shots. leaning into mosley allowed him to use shane to maintain his balance while smothering mosleys punches. shane needs space to be effective with power punches, up close he always just throws shoeshine combinations. when you are hurt you are generally more safe too close than too far away, if you are too far away they can just step into range since you dont have the legs to maintain that distance. in close you can grab hold and smother, thats why fighters are taught to clinch when they are hurt. mosley already out of gas 2 rounds into the fight? floyd managed to land some body punches but they werent even that hard, mosley was fine those body punches were hard. power is generated by pivoting and turning into them from the hip and shoulder, not by winding up on wide shots your opponent can see from a mile away. on top of that damage is done not by landing massive punches, but by landing accurate, well timed punches your opponent doesnt see. floyds body shots were short, hard, well timed, accurate and deadly. they hurt shane and took the energy out of him. once you hurt someone to the body all you have to do is keep touching them downstairs and they will struggle to get their wind back, floyd did this very well. but more importantly he countered very well, making shane hesitant to let his hands go in general. it was more confusion than fatigue imo, although it was a combination of both. was mosley wearing pillow 10 oz gloves? first of all there is no such thing as 10oz pillow gloves. people who say there is are either complaining or ignorant. most people around here who keep rambling about pillow gloves never laced up a pair in their life. all that said, no. shane was wearing grants.

first thing that came to my mind after that rd was " damn, those neck crunches really do the trick!" For real. Dudes get knocked down from less.

Corrales compared to Baldomir lol... I forgot you aren't a boxing fan and just a fan of Manny Pacquiao lol. what are the the things that he did in those two fights that he never do on all his other fights?

There goes the "he adjusted" and the opponent "gassed out" cliche again. as if those who gassed out lost the fight by exhaustion As if Floyd fights differently in every fight. Floyd fought different styles of opponents, tell me which fight Floyd fought differently than his other fight.

Seem like Shane wasted a ton of energy landing that big right hand....and after that didnt know what da fck to do.....LOL

Mosley more than 15 yrs in boxing suddenly don't know what to do when he hurt Floyd? reeks He was not suppose to hurt Floyd it is not in the script, you could see the look of "oh shyt don't you go sleeping on me Floyd or i am toast" on his face when he landed that shot.

Nothing strange about it He landed a huge shot, rocked him, Floyd survived, recovered and adjusted.

Mosley was old and possibly over trained. He really hurt Mayweather a lot but failed to follow up. For one thing when Mayweather got hurt with that big punch he locked Mosley in a clinch and held on for dear life. Mayweather has great recovery powers and if a fighter hurts him they better follow up hard and fast or he will soon be good as new.

i think more than anything , mosley was so surprised himself that he had floyd hurt the moment got to him. he didnt know what to do. hence the patty cake punches on the ropes I don't know because if that was the case, Shane wouldn't have been able to hurt him a second time. He hurt him twice in that round. He saw he had Floyd hurt and went for the homerun. And after he rocked Floyd a second time, he pinned him against the ropes and actually landed another good right hand. But Floyd didn't go down and he landed some pretty good shots himself. End of round.

I remember Floyd holding on for dear life until he cleared his head, then making old Shane look like he was in quick sand for the next 10 rounds.

Oh I'm sorry it was an absolute BOMB! Lol all that can be said about that punch was that it landed. It didn't snap his head back ... Quite frankly it didn't do anything ... Most people were shocked at how easily he went down knowing the kind of actual BOMBS Mosley has taken flush and wouldn't go down... Check out some of the shots that Canelo hit Mosley with (after PAC, even more shot), the shots that cotto hit him with and then look at that bs punch and tell me what word you'd use to describe it. so you are seriously retarded..

are you seriously retarded? Oh I'm sorry it was an absolute BOMB! Lol all that can be said about that punch was that it landed. It didn't snap his head back ...

Where does this misconception come from that Shane was gassed? A gassed fighter isn't jumping up and down and jittery the whole fight. It looked more like he had no idea what to do against Floyd after Floyd made some adjustment in rd 2. No, Mosley did get gassed. It looked like Mosley needed a tank of oxygen strapped to his back. Just go back and check out on the commentating. They mentioned a few things such as possibly over training due to back to back training camps. They mentioned that Mosley was looking his age. They mentioned that Floyd looked physically stronger and more youthful in there........ "Mosley is starting to get tired" - Ellerbe after 5th round "it looks like you are fading on me" - Nazim after 7th round Nazim also stated that Floyd was in better shape than Mosley.

Floyd showed true warrior qualities that round He gathered his wits quickly and started pressing mosley
