Why the hell was mosley gassed by the 4th round..??

[IMDAZED]

Anyone who has watched Mosley over the years knows he tends to get tired in the mid-rounds. Usually he picks it up in the later rounds but in this fight he was out-manned and out-skilled.

this is not a to discredit Floyd's big win, he was amazing last night he was so sharp and accurate and he also surprised me with his aggressiveness. Floyd was a straight up beast. But seeing mosley catching his breath around the 4th round without throwing alot of punches other than the 2nd round barrage was kinda shocking. I mean here is a guy who was training since december for supposedly fight against berto on january but shows up and is already huffing and puffing by the 4th round?

I know he was tired by round 6 because floyd had him whiffing on those loaded right hands after round 2.

all that jittery unnecasary movement gassed himself out

It was like he was having a seizure in there

Yea I think that did it. I was like "WTF is with all that herky jerky movements shane?? let ur hands go"!!

Hes 38 almost 39 and his age caught up with him....its sad but it happens to everyone. Last night in some was reminded me of when Ali fought Holmes, maybe its time to hang em up shane.

i said the exact same thing to my friends while watching the fight...around round 8 or so when i really got over the shock of the 2nd round and realized PBF was in command and Sugar looked tired....

Shane was fast...but you could see what Floyd's speed allowed him to do...

Floyd can remain still and relaxed and snap off punches...while Shane was relying on LOTS and LOTS of quick jittery movements and waiting for Floyd to react and then throw...Floyd left few holes post 2nd round and I think Shane wasted A LOT of energy with those movements...

He is old and hadn't been in the ring in 18 months. He wasn't closing his fist. His punches had no snap and this was very early in the fight. Like you said about the 4th round. Mayweather fans will tell you it was the body punching but the 1st round nobody landed, second round Mayweather was running away and holding, third round he was getting his sense back but was still timid. So when did he land the body shots that gassed Shane in the 4th? Mosley is just way past it.

typical hater...

I'm sure you had Mosley "exposing" PBF....and knocking him out...

but of course now that Floyd outclassed him the opponent was washed up...

that was a shot mosley or the testing weakened him. how can an athlete gas out with 4 round and floyd wasn't even doing ****.

I agree. He seemed nervous from the get-go. Plus the fella's pushing 40!!!

Shane was doing this when he was 28. In the first Oscar fight he slowed a ton from round 2-6. Against Cotto it was the same thing. Actually, most of his fights he looks sort of gassed in those early to mid rounds. But he has always closed strong. Not so last night.

[Kobe Bryant]

Well he was buying every Floyd feint in there. And he was thinking way too much which created nervous energy which can take something out of you.

Just because they are breathing hard doesn't mean they are gassed. Gassed means you have nothing left like Berto at times in the Collazo fight. He was well conditioned in this fight. It's just that fighting Mayweather is tough task. And his shots do take something out of you. There is a reason why fighters tend to get weaker towards the end of the fight against him.

Prime shane wouldn't have won that fight. We u in there fighting, missing punches and getting hit, frustration wears u down. I think he did the best he could do, and he hit floyd with his bread and butter punch. I posted here last week, Shane Mosley has one of the best over hand rights ever, its fast strong and accurate. Floyd weathered the storm and beat mosley on every level. Great toe to toe fight. You say anything different, you don't love the sport.
