Does Shane have the Mexican boxing style figured out?

[MANGLER]

(Mexican style) I think this means a tough guy who don't give a **** what he gets hit with as long as he gets to hit you back. Mexican fighters usually bring an ill body attack too. Nothin to figure out wit Marg. He fights the same way all the time. It's just a question of WTF you can do about it. This is why I pick Marg to win, probably by late stoppage. SSM can outbox Marg, but he ain't scared to slug. He'll have to at some point, and as soon as he abandons his boxing game Marg will take over and the countdown to the KO will begin.

to much is made out of this mexican fighting style. It's not a mexican style. Look at JMM, izzy, rafa marquez, mijares and i can list many more. They are very technical fighters. It's all in your mentality! It has nothing to do with your race. Most black guys are scared to get hit! if you got the warrior mentality you got the warrior mentality it has nothing to do with race. Look at gatti and ward they had the warrior mentality, hollyfield and tyson had the warrior mentality and alot of mexicans due to their roots and upbringings they have a warrior mentality. It's not your race that decides how you go about things it's your heart, your will, and your mentality.

thats 4 out of how many mexican fighters?

Apparently Shane was sparring great Mexican fighters in the California gyms when he was like 15 years old.

Yeah, that is how he learned to body punch so effectively.

I don't think it's a matter of figuring out what Margarito does in the ring, it's figuring out how to fight effectively against that style. Shane says he knows how to do it, and he very well may, but can his body still hang at age 37? And can he do it against perhaps the best come forward pressure fighter in the game?

And Vazquez aint even technical, so that makes 3. The only difference between De Leon and Vazquez is that Vazquez isnt as wide with punches and probably has a better resistance. Israel couldnt box if his family's life depended on it.

"Slow as hell" was fast enough to make Cotto quit.

Well Mosley fights like a Mexican fighter, but at this age he just doesn't have enough bullets to keep off a younger stronger fighter off of him. He likes to fights instead of box. He will get into the same old habits and will get beaten by Maragrito.

Yeah, Shane's instinctive style is what he and his father called "Power Boxing" back in the day. It's basically throwing hard shots, smartly and with speed. But while using that style, Shane takes shots. Look at his nose. He does take a good shot, but Margarito's not really a one punch puncher anyway. He breaks you down and takes your will and a good chin will only get you so far. We'll see how much Shane's got left. The body shots will be telling, by both fighters. Shane might have a hard time getting his in though due to Tony's pressure and uppercuts.
