HBO was on the Wright side

i thought mosley landed better cleaner shots but winky landed more shots overall.

I wanted Shane to win to tell you the truth, it was sad to see such a dominant fighter at lighter weights get dominated...

I did too, very much so. I really wanted him to get his titles back and I was a little sad when it went the way it did

Oh yeah...was that Nelly at the fight who kept standing up? Who was he cheering for Shane or Winky?

I thought the fight was alot closer than the HBO people. I had it a draw with Shane winning the last round. All Wright did was pitter-patter with jab in the last round & clinch Shane when he got close when Shane was the agressor & landing some.

Good question, both of them! I think it was Nelly (cant swear to it, I'm a rock and roller, not a hip hopper ) but I have no idea who he was rooting for

it was a sad fight for Shane, he fought better than he has in a long time. i thought the fight was really close, it could have been a draw, but Shane didn't do enough to take the title away from Wright

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 too think HBO was very biased. I think Wright won by just one round. Shane did great, I really enjoyed his fighting.

Larry Merchant acted like a complete DORK with his interrogative manner of questioning Shane and with his trying to tell Shane that Shane looked poor and did nothing great in that fight. This was aweful and biased !

For all practical purposes, it was a very equal, competitive fight and Shane has nothing to be ashmed of! He's done great!
He lost on the scorecard, but he did not get beaten!
