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

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

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

That doesn't sound far fetched to me.

I actually think Shane Mosley has a better chance of beating Antonio Margarito than Cotto does. The reason being is because he is quicker, stronger, more durable, and has a better trainer than Miguel Cotto. However, I won't go out and say he will beat Margarito, but I do think he has a pretty decent chance. ****m Richardson is a hell of a trainer in my opinion. He always has a hell of a good game plan and knows his fundamentals.

I think ****m is a good fit also because if anything he will calm Shane down and tell him to box, but not only box also, to stay on the outside. Dont run from Marg just slide back and turn, but implementing the hold is also a good strategy. If anyone can come up with a great strategy its the Hopkins' camp, applying it is another matter.

Well said Bhopreign, that is exactly how i feel.

I bet Margarito won't stop or knock Mosley down. Any takers?

I just dont like the way odds runs. I mean do you really as a knowledgeble boxing fan, think that Mosley only have a 20% chances of winning? I think thats a bit ridiculous!!!!!

Odds reflect the betting action on a fight, not the perceived chance of either fighter winning. If all the big money comes in on Margarito, he is going to be very short odds. You can make decent money over a long period of time wagering against overbet favorites.

As to my opinion, the dramatic KO made people forget how crappy Shane looked against Mayorga. There is only one Bernard Hopkins and I can't see a fighter who depends that much on speed and reflexes getting it done at 37.

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!

Yup!



Close!

Saw it coming! But too early!

By the time of the fight Marg wasn't a 4 to 1 dog. I put some money down a few hours before the fight and only got +275 for Mosley.
