Why couldn't Steward just admit he was wrong?

[tibbar]

aside from being over trained something must have happened to shane prior to the fight, something extra ordinary, come on, an athlete for most of his life then comes the most important fight of his life then all he can show is 2 rounds then gassed out??? unbelievable. he must be overexcited that he spent his energy in that first two rounds. dang that blood letting can really sapped you out. even floyd lose his legs and were forced to fight toe to toe. now floyd doesnt want to fight because he knows the random blood testing can also affect him negatively.

Of course he was wrong. Most people were wrong. They thought Mosely was going to be actually good. Turned out he was completely shot, gave up after 2 rounds after making Mayweather do a funny dance for 3 minutes, rolled over and took his cheque home.

You can only judge what turns up on the night and trust me - that is the worst Mosely that has ever stepped into a boxing ring.

More than any other boxing commentator, Steward has the "I told you so" bug.

'Shane has 5 losses' - Floyd

Now he has 6, your point?

Typical response around these parts, why do you think the worse James Toney we ever saw was against Roy Jones, the worst Hopkins we ever saw was against Roy Jones, the worse Chavez(in his prime) we ever saw was against Pernell Whitaker, when you face someone with those abilities who are simply better you dont look like yourself.

They took so much blood I heard Mosely couldn't walk straight. Apparently the testers came every 10 minutes randomly and drew a pint of blood.

How do you overtrain exactly and what's the negative result of it?

An overtrained fighter is one who left his best fight in the gym. Overtraining makes you sluggish, where a perfectly trained fighter is sharp.

Errr... Dude. Mosely is like 39 years old. Clearly had overtrained and just looked like **** after 2 rounds.

I'll say again. He had Mayweather dancing like he was the pide piper of hamlin and then just did not do anything for the remainder of the fight until the 12th when he realised he might need to knock him out.

Just man up and admit that Mosely, 5 years ago would be fast enough and ferocious enough to have Mayweather splayed out of the canvas within 3 rounds. Don't deny it man - just admit it: it's OK.

My personal belief is that Mayweather is hiding a china chin beneath his brillitant defence and the fighter that can expose that at the moment is being ducked by himself with numerous (and completely random) demands such as money splits, location of the fight, random 'drug testing' etc etc.

Also, the fights you cite are a non-issue. Toney is a fat bastard who has well documented and quite obvious obesity problems and Pernel is a horrible style match up for Chavez. Mosely ever 3 years ago would have probably destroyed Floyd with those rapid chopping right hands which are an excellent style to find Mayweather's quite frankly suspect chin (no surprise considering his family history of dire chins).
