Shane Mosley's destruction of Margarito.

[Piper the Great]

makes me wonder if marg is weak to the body. once shane hit him to it a few times marg started to fold, it was clearly visiable by rd 5 that the fight wasnt going the distance.

It was all mental for shane!

Shane had the confidence knowing that he knew the Mexican boxing style all to well. He mentioned that fact in alot of pre-fight interviews. Mosley was confident that his style matched perfectly against the traditional come forward, head first style that Margarito fights with. He trained with Mexicans early in his amatuer and professional career. Mental confidence can be more empowering than anything!

I think his mentality helped a lot. He came right at Margarito, and didn't run. He stood his ground, and managed to overpower Margarito inside (One of the most suprising aspects IMO). Also, the combination of his power and fantastic speed, I think the face Marg couldn't see the punches coming as well probably increased their effect on him.

you could see it on his face as he made his entrance to the ring. Nazeem Richardson probably got him hella juiced up for that fight.

Mosely absolutely crushed Margarito. In fact, Mosely looked better during that fight that he looked in the 90's

Mosely's dope. I think he has a few more fights before he retires. I don't see him still boxing when he's old the way Hopkins is doing it.

On that note, i think BHOP might retire this year. He's already the senior boxing analyst on FNF. What else does he have to do. Well, he might get one more big fight in for the thrill of victory.
