Margarito vs Mosley

[HappyBoxingFan]

Is someone gonna get plucking on those eyebrows pre-fight?

Mosely may stun margarito once or twice in the fight...but after that its all down hill for sugar shane... once Marg adapts to Mosely's punches, he's gona need a prayer to keep up from the workrate..

but then again Mosely is getting tips from B-Hop...he's gona have a few tricks under his sleeves..

Margarito takes a comfortable decision.
In his prime Mosley probably would have gotten the decision, but Mosley is 37 years old now and pretty shopworn. Margarito is too big, too strong and too much of a grinder for a man Mosley's age. I dont see Shane getting stopped, though, as Shane never gets stopped and hasnt really come close.

You know I originally thought Margarito would win this easy but something tells me Shane's going to pull off a signature win. Imagine if he blasts Margarito with a hook like he drilled Mayorga or Vargas with? I don't care if Marg's chin is made of steel, no one survives a shot like that.

I sincerely doubt marg will ko sugar. I originally thought marg would win this easily also. But this is a pick em fight. Whatever fighter wants it more is going to take it

I think Mosley can win this , Cotto cannot move constantly for 12 rds his style doesnt allow it , Shane can ,, the first half Cotto made Margo look like a sloth , its an interesting match up for sure .

Margarito decision. Noone will ever knock out Mosley but from rounds 5-12 Margarito will really put the pressure on him.

not even Forrest?

51%-49% Either way

In his prime I would have picked Mosley hands down, but I believe age is catching up with him (just in case the hate begins I felt the same when he fought Cotto). I think Margarito edges Mosley if Mosley is 95%. Mosley will have to come in at 100%. But like they say all great fighters have the ability to pull out one more...this could be Mosley's "one more". Mosley is definitely the better fighter. But Margarito's chin and punch output can make it a rough night for anyone. Good fight!

I'm going for Moseley by UD. He has the skills, the experience and the knowledge to keep Margarito from being able to pressure him in the same way he did Cotto. Cotto looked tremendous for the first half of the fight but when he realised Tony was going nowhere in a hurry, he panicked and had nothing different to offer. Moseley isn't that dumb to only have one plan of attack and is capable of switching tactics mid fight if needed.

It's hard for me to picture anyone stopping Shane. He's just too damn tough.
If Shane works hard early, he can win a decision. I think he will.

i think one thing iv overlooked is magarito in this fight. he does have a tendency to start slowly, against cotto he got away with it. he wont always be that lucky, the fight with paul williams showed that when he is against a solid fighter with a solid chin then he doesn't core the KD's and he suffers from his slow start. you could argue that he has chnaged recently but the fight with cotto proves that he hasn't really.

imo if he starts slowly i wouldn't be surprised to see mosley take the W.
