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

when you are tight and not relaxed, you get tired much easier and quicker. mosley was tight the entire fight.

This

Mosley said it himself in the post-fight Interview

come on dude he was tired straight after his dominating 2nd round. the 3rd round he wasn't even getting hit yet he threw nothing. that was the time to press the fight, but he looked exhausted. the only conclusion is age or the testing affected him, because no elite boxer tires after 3 without getting hit.

Like I said. I think he came out tight and it made him more tired. If you ever sparred before you would know if you fought on emotion/tight you would tire out faster than if you fought more relaxed.

come on dude thats amateur ****. look how much experience mosley has got that is not an excuse. mosley was clearly past prime or drained.

Okay. You obviously have your mind made up. Even Mosley said so himself that he was tight.

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 ****.

Very clear to me from the get go that Shane was incredibly tense. Nervous tension will shut a fighter down and exhaust him as bad or worse as fully exerting himself. Shane had many opportunities to attack, but just wouldn't (couldn't) take them. He did not handle the moment well at all. Floyd Sr. was spot on when he said Shane would could come out jittery. I don't think Shane is shot, and I don't think his performance was a result of him being old. He was way too psyched up for this fight. He said that he felt so tight and it showed in every round (including the 2nd). I was really pulling for Shane, but he was just not prepared mentally. I honestly thought it would be Floyd, if anyone, who would be nervous because I thought he feared Shane deep down, but I was completely wrong. I won't be upset if Shane retires, but I believe he could still handle 2nd tier guys like Andre Berto.

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?

cause he is past his prime
