Wow, I hadn't seen the HBO commentators be so biased. Sergio would hit Mosley 3 times and Shane would graze him back and all the Announcers would call was the Mosley shot. I personally believe that a draw is a good decision, if pressed I would go with Shane because he pressured the whole fight. The HBO guys kept pointing that out that out and also that Mora kept holding, both legitimate arguments, but I have never seen them bring that up when other boxers are chased by sluggers. Overall, I don't regret getting the PPV because the other fights were damn good. By the way "Canelo" has good personality and charisma, and although he had a good showing, he is not nor will he be an elite fighter.

the only problem is mosley is stubborn as hell, he stutters and slurs, hes not going to retire healthy thats the most likley scenario.maybe he needs the money who knows? a loss wouldve served him better.hes a classic example of a fighter whom refuses to step away from the ring until its too late.Two terrible performances in a row by Shane...
Yeah...it's about that time...
When the best you can do is a draw against Sergio Mora and you're supposed to be a top tier fighter, it's time to start reconsidering continuing your career. His time has passed now, and it didn't help that he was put in the ring with a runner. However, Forrest was able to beat Mora down (albeit a rematch) so no excuses for Mosley tonight.
I'd like to see him go ahead and call it a career at this point, there's nothing left to prove and he can focus on making his son into a great boxer somedayComment

This fight had more than just 1 round.
Rounds 9-12 had some good exchanges where both Mosley and Mora landed some clean punches.
Much more exciting than Floyd-Mosley from Round 2-12.Comment

Pac beat Cotto but it wasn't the same Cotto that beat Mosley. It was post Margarito Cottoexcept for the margarito fight, mosley hasnt looked impressive against anybody else in the last, 5 to 7 yrs...maybe decade...people gave too much credit to mosley for his win over margarito...and those same people said that pacquiao ducked mosley...even tho pac destroyed the cotto that beat mosley...mosley hasnt been the same since he was undefeated...Comment

what? the way cotto fought against pac and mosley was identical...the only difference is...pac outboxed cotto better than mosley boxed cotto.
and as far as i can see, cotto looked more the same as he did since fighting mosley...in contrast, mosley looks more shot and shot than he did since fighting cotto (except for the margarito fight)Last edited by indystress; 09-18-2010, 11:47 PM.Comment

Just different tastes I guess. I like Mosley-Mayweather better. More so cause it wasn't the defensive Floyd, I liked how he was pressing the action. Now he's gonna be pressing license plates, Haha!Comment
