Insider Notebook: Margarito vs. Mosley is Getting Close

[MikeBrew328]

Hopkins-Pavlik all over again?

The supposed dominant champ will get schooled by the older great.

nothing but good news on this one. angulo might be a bit much for jr right now, i say that would be a couple fights away for jr.

Shane is the smaller guy, is easy to hit and will fade in the later rounds. Margarito is not depending on jabs and 12s like Pavlik, has iron chin, iron will and just keeps coming. I guess only chance Shane has is if Margarito softened up too much after the Cotto fight, but i dont think so...Shane isnt knocking Margarito down with 1 punch for sure and doesnt have the same activity...he likes to fight at his own rythm, pausing up and then coming in for a flurry, and Margarito wont allow that, hes not giving Shane any breather like Mayo did.

My thoughts exactly..marga aint gona stop coming and Mosley wont have a round to rest. if he tries to take some rounds off marga will take advantage of that.

Great fight a bit complicated for margarito but great, Mosley stamina and speed have the upper hand, it be wise for mosley to keep moving cause if the Tornad lands a clean hit mosley be hurt and remeber Margarito will keep coming and coming so be ready sugar!!!! Puro Tijuana!!!

If Margarito wins this fight he would get NO credit......just watch.

exactley...but I would normally pick Margo to win..My predictions have been so way off. Im not betting nothing..

See the thing is if Margarito doesn't knock mosley out, it could be close on the scorecards. The way he fights is that he wears you down so each round you have less and less to give.

However if Mosley lasts to the final bell, it's possible he will have won enough of the earlier rounds before he got tired. I think it's a little more difficult of a fight for Margo than some might think.
