I think Winky/Shane is just like Hopkins/Trinidad. Hop and Winky are just too good, too strong, and too technically sound for Shane and Tito. Shane was always so effective because he was bigger and stronger than his opponent...that's not the case with Winky. He also never really faced a fighter who was so defensively sound.
There's obviously alot ridin' in this rematch for both guys. I see alot of posts predicting that it's gonna be just like last time. I like Mosley's chances this weekend, basing it mostly on the 'intangibles' . I didn't think the first fight was such a bad outing for Mosley. Shane did worse on the rematch with Oscar De La Hoya(imo). Mosley will have to be the ultimate pressure fighter in this one. On the post fight interview HBO had with Wright. WInky kept describing Mosley's punching power as Shane " had a cute little punch" I think it was a lot cuter than he wanted to admit, just basing it on Winky's face which was much puffier than Shane's . So if I were Mosley, I'd take a page from that kid from Houston named Juan Diaz, gotta chop that body down and the rest will follow, if and when Shane softens up Wright , then you've taken out Winky's biggest advantage and that is his boxing ability,Winky's infighting ability isn't that impressive. As far as Winky, I don't think there's much he has to change. Wright's biggest advantage is his size and although I don't think Shane showed any major difficulties in fighting a southpaw, I still think that it's one of Wright's biggest weapons against Shane, cause I saw Shane in some spots were he was just blocking with the wrong arms from several of Wrights punches and if Shane miscues enough on his defense then it could be Forrest all over again, but Winky has to step it up on his power punching even more so than last time. I really like both fighters they seem to be class acts, I'd hate for one to lose, but someone has to go..... If Mosley wins I'd like for him to fight Tito at 160, maybe a rubbermatch w/ Wright(only if the rematch is worth a 3rd fight), or Kostya at 147lbs(probably will never happen, I don't think Shane would wanna go on the Atkins diet, just THG for the Sugar man). If Wright wins, I'd like to see him fight De La Hoya at 154 or 160(probably will never happen ' cause De la hoya doesn't seem to have the aptitude or balls to fight a good southpaw, Camacho Sr. doesn't count) or a rematch with Trinidad at 160lbs.
i think mosley can do it if he's smart..also sometimes the best way to beat a good boxer is not to box him but just rush him...i hope mosley wins cuz winky win or lose will still have fights ahead..but if mosley loses i dont know where he will go from there
Mosley's best fights are behind him. He wasn't able to figure out Forrest the second time and he won't be able to figure out Wright this time. Winky will win by UD.
mosley needs to let those damn hands go period. hes not knocking down anyone at 154 with a single punch so why the fucc does he keep loading up and throwing one punch at a time??
