Why couldn't Steward just admit he was wrong?

[Hi-Dro]

His emphasis on Mosley-May being competitive leading up to the fight was heard by everyone. He kept stressing how Mosley had more chance then people gave him, and how every1 was underestimating him. He called the odds in Floyd's favor a little unreasonable because according to him Mosley was no walk in the park. He kept stressing this point throughout the broadcast of the fight, and even before the fight.

But what happens when he sees Floyd beating Mosley? Instead of giving Floyd his dues, and recognizing greatness he quickly states, "I didn't think I would be saying this but Mosley looks his age tonight."

Those were (and still are) the words of pure haterism. I love Steward, but I don't think he should call a Floyd fight. Instead of admitting he was wrong he started making up excuses, as to why Floyd was dominating Mosley.



Also don't get me wrong I love and enjoy our current HBO analyst and believe they are a great team, but I don't want to see the same team who literally slobbed over pacs nuts in his fight against clottey commentate a possible pac-floyd fight...

He never gives Floyd his just due, Manny's a company man.

I don't think Floyd proved him wrong I think he just overestimated Mosley after the Margo win same as thousands of other people. Mosley had been looking his age for years and at that age you dont suddenly become a better fighter unless you really are using PEDs.

but the margo win didnt prove that he could beat or touch floyd...

it was an amazing win but i always knew that he didnt possess anything to upset or touch floyd

did he know that he overtrained pretty badly?

Mosley was ready to fight Berto and didn't stop training through the Mayweather fight. I certainly didn't think Mosley only had 2 rounds worth of gas.

he wasn't overtrained...

he simply got in there with a boxer far better then himself and got taken to school...

I thought Mosely looked his age as well. Floyd did very well, but Floyd said it himself. Beating Shane wouldnt mean anything because Shane was old and shot.

floyd said that the critics would say that not him...

what do u know

he was right

[NesNY]

umm. no, he overtrained.
his own trainer said it. everybody SAW it.

Mayweather was gettin touched with overhand rights pretty easily for 2 rds. Then Mosley just ran out of it. It wasn't that Mayweather adjusted or anything, or started doing what he always does....countering, footwork, etc. He didn't even have to do that. After the 2nd rd, Mosley showed he had NOTHING left in the tank. 6 minutes. that was his window, and it wasn't enough.
Then Floyd walked him down in his Guard, and simply put on a boxing clinic on a fighter with an empty tank.

People forget that nobody looks themselves against Floyd. Great boxers can ruin you psychologically. Whenever Shane has lost a fight in the past he asked for rematches and he got them except with Cotto, after Floyd beat Shane nobody has heard or seen Shane Mosley. After Floyd beat Hatton, Hatton said the fight was the worst for him basically because he couldnt do anything, wasnt effective at all. I keep telling people getting countered hard and fast will shut your offense down and you have to mentally overcome it to keep after the gameplan, this didnt happen with Shane, he shut down after repeatedly getting countered, hard and fast, he knew the punch was coming but just couldnt get out of the way.
