I too admit I was wrong about my prediction, and lost 4 million points LOL.... its always worth it though... a fair trade for a great historic upset... i loved the fight

Definitely a great performance, I didn't realize how good a trainer Richardson was until the Hopkins-Pavlik fight, the instructions in the corner were great and the way he dissects his fighters' opponents is great, one of the most underrated trainers in boxing today, hopefully he gets the props he deserves.

I picked against Mosley too, mainly due to his age and his last performance but I was always saying I didn't know what to make of his last performance because of Mayorga's tactics and his ring rust so I was really not surprised that Mosley won but I was shocked at how easy he won.

Shane vs. Manny Pac or May look like BIG events now, huh? Boxing is great the way it changes...after the Cotto loss who ever could have pictures Sugar being where he is right now..I'll tell you another thing...Shane tunrned pro 17 years ago...how many guys 17 years into a pro career put on a showing like that? Not many. Even the great Ali, 17 years after going pro, was less than par fighting against Shavers and Evangelista...RJ 17 years in was fighting Tarver...Shane is doing something now that MUST make PBF stand up and take notice...because last night is how you cement your legacy....not just by talkin about it...

I felt Manny put it right at the end of the broadcast "on a scale of one to ten tonight Shane was about a 20".

I picked against Sugar tonight...just felt after his fight with Cotto he didn't have it in him to hold off a strong pressure fighter but he put on a SUPER performance, a performance that rivals B-Hops over K-PAV and PAC over DeLaHoya as showing off the year...but also it shines a big light on Naazim...many are just seeing him from his work with B-Hops and now Sugar but Naazim has been around the Hops camp for years and the amateur ranks for many years, too....in the amateurs -I first met him in 1994 at the nationals out in Cincinnati- his three sons (Tiger, Bear and Rock) and his two nephews (Karl and Michael Dargan) piled up tons of big victories over the likes of Ricardo Williams (well, Rock got robbed against him), Paulie Malignaggi and Kelly Pavlick.

Naazim might get Trainer Of The Year of this if his showing stay on course for the rest of 2009...

Both deserve props for the win. Last nite was a masterpiece for them.

After watching the Cotto-Mosely highlight reel before last nights fight, I had a feeling Mosely would cause Margarito all kinds of problems.

Mosely hurt Cotto a few times in that fight.

Snoopy...

Why are you asking Scully his opinion? Scully is a third-rate fighter and a third-rate trainer. His opinion and a dollar might get you a token on the subway...

Mosley's victory was paramount in that it kept afloat the last man standing from the elite stars of the mid-90's. Oscar, Jones, Jr., Vargas, Trinidad - all those guys are shadows of their former selves. Bernard can still **** a little, but Floyd has moved onto better things. Shane might be the last superstar of years past who can keep the spotlight on our beloved sport. His win over Margarito was a thing of beauty.
