Floyd ate that straight right because of a defensive mistake

[elfag]

he got hit good twice in that round. He didnt the rest of the night. He also protected himself well when he was hurt and by the end of the round he was backing up mosley and had his balance back. Mosley hits harder than Pac punch for punch, Pac is going to need more than one or two punches to stop mayweather and he is never going to get more than that one or two.

its boxing your gonna get hit regardless........

Floyd using the high guard for parts of the fight was perfect also. We all know how Mosley struggled with Winky's style!

That surprised me and it worked really well for him. Merchant tried to bring it up but he called Floyd mosley when he was referring to mayweather's "peak a boo style" and Steward either didnt catch his slip or ignored it and started talking about something else.

I was really impressed by seeing him use a defensive style that Ive never seen him use before all of a sudden in perhaps the biggest fight of his career and to see it work so well.

Mosley landed a great combo, one Floyd didn't see.

Floyd got caught with the right hand because mosley set up the right hand. in the first round, mosley was jabbing floyd hard to the body. obviously floyd didn't like it so he lowered his guard to defense against the hard jab to the body. That's the perfect time to come with the right over the top.

it was a perfect set up, but mosley didn't know how he did it the first time. he abandoned the hard jab to the body, went back to a flickering jab and got countered. then he just gave up on the jab all together.

THAT is the Pullcounter that I know. GREAT post potna.

I would Green you for this but I gotta spead it around some more before I can Green you again.

A few points I haven't read in the previous posts is this:

Both Mosley and Floyd had a lot of nervous tension in the earlier rounds. Mosley landed that shot because Floyd was still figuring out how Mosley's shots would be coming at him during the fight. {He doesn't watch tape} He has to see\experience this during the fight. And when it happened, it happened fast - so Floyd wasn't expecting it to come from that angle and got caught.

The second blow by Mosley came from a blind spot {Behind the ear} and totally caught him off-guard because he had thrown a hook before it came.

****m summed it up nicely post-fight - "Floyd didn't put himself in a position to get caught like that again." ****m also stated: "The window wouldn't be open long with Floyd" That's why he was imploring Mosley to change up his tactics - Because Floyd had already made the adjustment to the shots Mosley would throw to hurt him.

And this was something to witness - instant On-The-Fly adjustments !!!!!!!

No mistake. Shane just had perfect timing on both. It was early in the fight.

He woke up the "sleeping giant" or in this case "dragon" though.

Floyd grew fangs, a tail, and tore through the old fighter.

Shane got floyds attention alright and he made sure after that round that he didnt let it happen again!!!
