I'm not really a Mosley fan at all and i think that he clearly won the fight. I can't see how you can give Mora pretty much a single round. I want to see the punch stats.
What was your scorecard for Mosley vs Mora?

Dude cmon, i dont know if you were watching a bad stream but in the early rounds, Mosley landed NOTHING at all. Yes he was more aggresive but unless Mora was right in front of him, Mosley didnt even throw. And Mora was almost never right in front of him.5 out of the first 6 rounds Mosley was clearly the more aggressive fighter, landed more shots, and Mora did nothing but run, throw an occasional weak jab, and have a couple decent punches he threw clearly get blocked. It wasn't even competitive. In those rounds all Mosley had to do was land a couple solid jabs to win but he landed a little more than that.
I could see why Mosely was disappointed with his own performance. There were times he could have done better, and he should have fought dirtier honestly. I think he could beat Mora at his own game.
I'm not gonna re-watch that. It was torture enough watching it live.
It took like 5 rounds until i saw Mosley land a good clean punch.
For example DLH was the MAJOR aggressor in the Floyd fight, but that alone didnt justify him the win, and rightfily soComment

I watched the HD HBO PPV broadcast on my 50 inch tv. I could see it very clearly and I never score based on what Lampley, Lederman, or the crowd says. Were you watching a stream?
Mora did nothing but run and hold early in the fight. He has no power so the few clean punches he did land were not enough.Yes he was more aggresive but unless Mora was right in front of him, Mosley didnt even throw. And Mora was almost never right in front of him.
He was landing some decent shots early, nothing great, but it was much more effective than what Mora was doing.It took like 5 rounds until i saw Mosley land a good clean punch.
Floyd lands real, hard, clean shots. You can't compare his performance in that fight to Mora.For example DLH was the MAJOR aggressor in the Floyd fight, but that alone didnt justify him the win, and rightfily soComment

How does power come into play in those rounds? Just because a fighter doesnt have great power doesnt mean he didnt deserve the round. Otherwise Calderon and Paulie would have never won a fight

Mosley was doing nothing at all. Yes Mora was running a bit and throw some weak punches but that is better then doing nothing at allComment

How does power not come in to play when scoring rounds? I like watching Paulie and Calderon fight and they get credit when they land numerous jabs, throw a flurry, back out, avoid punches. I, and most judges, also don't give them rounds if they take a couple big shots even if they dish out a bunch of jabs. Power should always play a role in scoring.
Mosley wasn't doing much, but it was clear he was landing some decent shots. They were difficult to see because they were inside but Mora did nothing in those "exchanges".Mosley was doing nothing at all. Yes Mora was running a bit and throw some weak punches but that is better then doing nothing at allComment

My card was 7-4-1 (1 even) in favour of Mosley
admittedly, a lot of the rounds were close.
I think a draw is fair.Comment
