Shane Mosley Is A 4:1 Underdog, How Can He Win?

[MakeDamnSure]

I said give reasons based on styles and what we have seen before. We have seen Oscar beat to the punch before and have trouble with movement. Not that I picked Pacquiao but thats why I asked for scenarios, to get everything out there.

According to Shane's new trainer Richardson, this will be another Hopkins/Pavlik fight. I can't believe I don't see people here posting about Mosley clinching too much.

These odds will drop like a rock when the fight gets closer so if you're rooting for Mosley, get in on the ground floor if you are a betting man.
As I think Margs will win because Shane isn't really a pure boxer but more of a quick brawler these days and he's getting older and less crisp and he doesn't have a ton of power at welter , I would bet on another fight that weekend to cya.

Clinching early would be his friend for this fight. If the ref sees it as a strategy he will allow it most of the time, but if you wait till you get hurt like Cotto did, its obvious why youre holding. P. Will did the right thing against Margarito, Marg didnt know whether to expect a hold or leather, its beautiful when done effectively.

Shocking to most! But, if SSM sits in the pocket and slip and counter those wide shots he could easily score a stoppage! Courage, timing, and speed will be a few of the ingredients needed to execute this game plan. Margie doesn't throw when he is getting smashed in the mouth by counters. He was stunned by clottey with a counter right that was timed perfectly. The above gameplan for about 4rds and boxing on the outside for another 3rds will secure victory!
Countering is the key!

The big problem is Shane doesn't throw near enough anymore.
And he's not gonna one shot Margs, combos are the key but he just doesn't let them go like the ole great Sugar Shane.

Pacquiao was an underdog against Oscar. It was labeled as a joke fight and circus act.

How did Pacquiao win?

Sure! If you are only taking into consideration odds. Pac is about 7-8 years younger than DLH about the same difference in Marg and SSM. If anybody doesn't think this makes a difference then put your money where your mouth is and bet on SSM.

SSM did not impress me against Mayorga, against Cotto he looked better but that was over a year ago. Father Time doesn't stop ticking for anyone so with that being said SSM will always be older than Margarito. I'm not saying age is all that matters but there is a huge difference in years, ask DLH.

Also DLH was only a 2:1 favorite so obviously many didnt have too much faith in him winning.

This is his last shot Jreck! He has gotta reach back in time like BHop or he is done! Thats what I think may happen in this bout. A big azz maybe though.

I'm going with my gut on this one; I say Mosley by 9th round TKO...
