Mosley Wants To Repeat Oscar Magic With Margarito

[z28ss6706]

same magic as de la hoya == does that mean he is going to use the cream and clear!! anyways this should be a good fight if mosley can sustain his workrate which he will need 12 rounds not 7 like cotto

I think Mosley has a chance but he has to go to the body hard and sit down on some punches.

When Shane Mosley challenges Antonio Margarito for the WBA welterweight title on January 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, he plans to repeat the same magic that he showed in 2000 when he decisioned a prime Oscar De La Hoya at the very same venue for the WBC title. [details]

i dunno if some of you guys read it or not, but mosley says he isn't going to stand in front of money marg... his chances of beating money marg just went up 90%.

margarito may be too hard for mosley to handle. but let's see how mosley's "magic" work against a fighter with margarito's skills.

what skills? margarito has heart.

I agree. I think Shane will look good for about 7 rounds but will tire. He's too old to fight at that pace like he did almost 10 years ago. Margarito will pull away with a comfortable decision. I would much rather see Maragarito-Williams than this fight. Mosley is washed up and if the Mayorga fight didn't show that nothing will.

washed up was what they said about b-hop.....

If, he makes it a priority to go to Margarito's body!! And knowing Shane, he will target that body and can score a late round knockout. Margarito will be there to be hit so it shouldnt be hard for Mosley to slip and counter. He has the conditioning to do it for 12 rounds. It wont be easy because of Margarito's size, but if Clotty can have some success and if Cotto can outbox Margarito, I expect Mosley to do the same and look better doing it. Im taking Mosley by late round K.O.

shane's POWER is very underrated....he has a higher KO percentage than margarito.......honestly, i don't see either fighter getting stopped, which is bad news for margarito. to me, thats the only way he wins is by stopping mosley. if it goes to the cards, shane gets the decision.

Shane is going to F~^# Margs up. It will be a good fight but I don't think Margs will be able to avoid getting hit. His best chance is to punish Shane to the body but that will leave his chin open even more. And if he leaves it open too much, it will get touched up and maybe crushed.

as long as he comes into the fight in shape, and prepared to "box" 12 rounds, he'll be okay. don't come in like cotto, looking for the ko.

shane is the quicker fighter, as long as he boxes, and moves when margarito returns fire, he'll be fine. cotto had marg frustrated after the first 6, then he decided to stand on the ropes and absorb punishment. had he kept his dancing shoes on, he was on his way to a wide UD.

by the way, i think everybody would rather see margarito-williams II. your boy don't want no more tho.....

Shane sounds a little 2 overconfident, this is how the fights going to play out.Mosley will start off strong and win the first couple of rounds hands down, then you know the rest margo being the bull that he is will keep coming forward in the mid to late rounds and pressure shane like he did in the cotto fight.To ultimately tire out mosley to the point of where shane wants no more.Sugar Shane Mosley is a great fighter, but youve seen b4 when he's pressured to fight he leaves his boxing gameplan at home aka fight vs mayorga... he needs 2 box to win(Peace)

I think the constant pressure will actually make it easier for Shane. He usually fights best when he can be the counter puncher. But in this fight, he will be able to counter and engage in exchanges. No hit and not get hit by Margs. If Margs had a great jab or great defense, he would beat Shane handily. But he has neither so I just see a tough night for Margs. Great chin or not, win a fight or lose it, you can't keep getting beat up by elite-level fighters as it takes a toll on the body.

Um, yeah, that "Magic" was the result of the steroids you were taking at the time Shane!

Good luck surviving Margarito. He's going to be up in your grill all night long...
