Why did SSM APPEAR to be gassed after 2-3 rounds against Floyd?

[FeFist]

I train 4x a week thanks. Im not going to believe he was tired after just 2 rounds because he landed a flush shot. It was a combination of being old, having wayyy too much time in between fights, and fighting floyd. The inactivity between fights is what i think killed him. After a year and a half off his body forgot it was like to be in a real boxing match, and at his age it didnt help.

If you train 4 times a week there should be no excuse for your ignorance. In that round he tried taking Mayweather out 2 punches landed flush, the rest didn't land cleanly and as I said he fought at a higher pace.

It's natural for fighters to fight the 3rd round at a lower tempo so they can get back in their rhythm. Floyd denied him that opportunity and didn't allow him to get settled.

What happened to Mosley is the reason why people don't try and sprint their way through a marathon.

Mosley didn't look tired to me after 2-3 rounds. He looked confused and wasn't at all competitive after the 2nd round, but he didn't start to get that "gassed out" look until around the 7th round. Even then, the only reason why he started to get tired is because he was too tense and he was moving about 3x as much as Floyd, it wasn't his basic conditioning that is the problem.

Mosley has a habit of moving his hands around a lot and throwing lots of feints to try and confuse his opponent, but it really backfired on him in this fight. Floyd wasn't confused at all, and Mosley moving around a lot just meant that he left more openings for Floyd to hit him.

He was inactive. He said it himself... he just tensed up too much after almost doing the "impossible"...... I still believe Shane has alil left in the tank for one more good performance. But I think its just he Shane fan in me. We'll see how he looks if he decides to fight again.

[Michael Hall]

how is it hating when the MAJORITY of the boxing community ..fans and otherwise saw that Shane appeared to be gassed very early in the fight?

you don't know **** about boxing.

[STRUGG]

a number of factors..........age.....war battered....inactive for so long......then cancellation of january fight...........blood draining is a possibility.......and not properly warmed up prior to the fight

Mosley looked more of the same as he always does in the first 6 rounds. After landing 2 rounds he's some how gassed. You can give floyd all the credit you want just becaues its floyd, but that doesnt change the fact that mosley looked different in only 3 rounds of boxing, when floyd himself is an economic puncher. Now all of a sudden floyd is being given credit for taking mosleys 2 power shots that drained him of all his energy, cmon...what floyd cant do wrong these days.

The mosley that fought margarito came in the same tempo, margarito is a much more active fighter and if you look at compubox, mosley was throwing more punches at margarito compared to floyd.

But lets just ignore the stats, and forget about the year and a half inactivity of mosley, and just give floyd all the credit for taking all of mosleys 2 punches that apparently was filled with all his energy in the entire fight.

[Vito Corleone]

Any ideas?

Hey, just wanted to ask you. You know that information in your signature isn't true. Right?

The mediator came out and dispelled Arum's story.

agreed............

Its called wasting all your energy trying to KO Floyd after Round 2.

He went wild and Floyd clowned him. He wasted alot of energy and was winded and he probably thought like most did that Floyd would lay back and box for the 3rd round. BUT.....

WRONG.

He came out and pressured Shane which maded Shane have to play defense and he never caught his breath.

Floyd owned him.

Fighters at that level don't have the stamina of an amateur, they can continue the instensity. Look at Manny Pacquiao. Dudde never gets tired.

Mosley always goes for the knockout and always steps it up late in the fight.

Shane Mosley was overtrained.

In boxing, missing punches is exhausting.

No it's not. Get off Fight Night and watch some boxing.

Ask mosley...........
