1st off I disagree with the HBO crew. I had Mayorga ahead going into the 12th. I had it like 6-5 for Mayorga. I dont mind them saying that Shane was winning but they acted like it was a total blowout and that if you had Mayorga even close then your a idiot. I dont think they were just supporting the house fighter like others think. I think that when a guy fights good for a couple of rounds then that stays in there minds forever. Theyve done it for years. Meanwhile there still talking about how great a fighter is doing but the other guy is outfighting him while there still talking about what there guy was doing. Its like they cant talk and watch the fight at the same time.
I also disagree with everyone saying that Shane is done. I thought Shane looked the exact same way he did against Cotto. The only difference was that Mayorga was so huge, he's so wild, and then Shane got tired because he went for the KO so early. I thought he still looked good but he just really faded after the 6th round because he ran out of gas. This was no doubt the Shane that fought Mosley. I also disagree with people who say that Shane admitted that he wasnt the same guy in the post fight interview. I think all he said was that he's not going to wait for Cotto & Margarito. I dont think he was scared of Berto at all. I just think that he doesnt care for that fight because it isnt big money and Berto hasnt done enough yet for Shane to get alot of credit with that win so why bother. I wouldnt be shocked at all if he fought a Paul Williams or someone.
I do agree with the people who said that he was slurring his words though. However, Im giving him the benefit of doubt as of now because it couldve been that he was just really tired after a tought fight in which he was clearly out of gas in the 2nd half, fighting a huge guy, and going all out in the 12th to get a KO. That couldve made him talk that way but I am worried if he is slurring. Then he would need to retire but I dont think he's doing that because he wasnt doing it at all before this fight and usually its a progression when things like that happened. I still think that he looks good, he would kill Berto, would give Cotto a ton of trouble and maybe even win. I would actually still have loved to see him fight Floyd but not anymore since everyone else thinks that he sucks and is done.
