    DLH-Mosely Revisited:

    I just watched the DLH-Mosley II fight for the first time after reading numerous articles about it. First, it was not as good as the first one, which I watched live. Second, there is now way Mosely won that fight. The fight was over after round 10. Scoring generously I had DLH at 6-4 through 10. The rub against DLH was that Mosely landed too many power shots against him. I personally did not see that many really hard shots, and few actually effected DLH. Even in the last round DLH answered Mosely's power shots with plenty of his own, and I thought DLH narrowly won that round, too. Also, Mosely was aggressive, but what about credit for DLH's ring management? Mosley fought DLH's fight. From 1:51 of round 12 until the end I thought DLH fought well, and took a few big shots without effect.

    So, in sum, it could be said that the Forrest fights really added to Mosely's ring age. I do not think he will ever be a force again.

    As far as DLH vs. Mayweather: I think Oscar in 2000 would have schooled Mayweather of 2007. Oscar is going to have to be as fast as he was in 2000 to defeat Mayweather in May.

      I completely agree with your post. I also think that DLH won the 2nd fight against Mosley.

        Mosley clearly beat the spit out of DLH in the first fight.
