Me,friends and family watched the fight and couldn't help but notice that everytime Mosley did somthing that HBO said almost nothing. Mosley would land a 5 punch combination and HBO was silent but the second Wright threw a punch it was huge. This my question for some of the Boxing scene members: If you muted your TV and put paper across the bottom so you couldn't see the scores, do you think it would have been closer in your mind? It would in mine, because I thought Mosley fought the best he has in a long time. I thought the fight was much closer than Harold Lederman had it scored. Did anyone else notice that Jim Lampley wouldn't say anthing about Mosley besides negative comments?

I notice they were Wright homers as well. I still feel Winky won regardless of that. What was even more irritating to me was how Merchant goes off on ramblings for a minute when the fight is going on. Example...they talked about DLH-Hopkins for half a round while Wright and Mosley were fighting. Merchant acted drunk last night...or was that me?

The thing about the fight was that Mosley would do something good, but always let Winky get him back before the exchange would be over..and on the flip side, Winky would do something and Mosley would simply have no answer...Mosley looked like he was trying to do something he couldn't do; counter..Comment

Wright won a clear decision (being EXTREAMly generous to Mosley he won no more then 5 rounds) but yes Lampley has pissed me off many a time for being extreamly biased in his commentary. Jones Jr on the other hand I thought did an excellent job.Comment

Agreed,
I think Jones has found a good second career. I know he has done this in the past, but this one he did well. Pretty non-biased and accurate acounting of the fight. This kid could have a real future....

I watched the fight at Hooters with the sound completely off. All I could hear was the Florida college game and I still think Winky won rather easily.Comment

I thought Wright won easily by 117-112. I had the first round even.Comment

I agree completely! When they were forced to acknowledge something Shane did, it was always "and Winky walked right through it" and when Winky landed it wasnt "Shane walked right through it", it was "and Winky keeps landing that right hand,etc.." it made me sick. You'd think that I'd be use to it by now. When they did have to give Shane credit, they always found a way to 'downplay' it or take away from it in some way. According to them, he couldnt do anything unless Winky "let" him and Winky is the best boxer on earth!Originally posted by Mayweatherfan
I gave the decision to Winky by a point....only a pt! I would have understood a draw. And Shane was landing alot more than they credited him for...alot more!

I can understand what you all are saying, but who cares who side the commentators are on? Would they have any influence on the judging, is that what you're saying?Comment

No, not at all....and that was apparent with the scorecards, where they had Winky winning by a small margin and even a draw on oneOriginally posted by jack_the_rippuh It just get's old...to give one guy all the credit in the world, and the other guy nothing but critisim when he's fighting his heart out. I thought Shane did quite well, and definately much better than the first time!
