    You threw a flurry where all the punches missed?

    You win the round.
    nobody can argue that, this is the 100% truth thats why it went to a draw. IMO Mora won but thats me being nice cuz tbh both fighters faught like **** and i couldnt give a winner last night after the utter disappointment i saw.

      The funny thing about this is that a lot of the practical jokers claiming they gave Mosley the fight cuz' he "pressed" also think Guzman beat Soto.

      I submit to you that Soto pressed far more effectively than Mosley and that Guzman ran much more than Mora did.

      Yet the result was totally topsy turvy.

      Mosley was a sentimental favorite already, but you combine that with the polarizing nature of Mora's appeal and you have some normally fine posters behaving like jilted scorned women.

      I understand if you don't like Mora, but don't pretend he didn't absolutely dominate that fight easily.

          Mora isn't black.

          Only black boxers can run and be slick.

              Why the hate? Mora was able to hit Mosley with relative ease when he let his hands go, but held back and seemed afraid to throw more of those punches. It's one thing to be frustrated if you can't hit your opponent but Shane was there right in front of him, a huge target to hit and Mora, for some reason, restrained himself. That's not what boxers are supposed to do...

                Cuz Mora fought like a girl...and it wasn't slick IMO...he wasn't showing off great footwork and tattoing Shane with shots, he would throw a shot, Shane would rush in and he would tie Shane up most of the time...

                If Mora was such a good slick fighter he wouldn't get a draw with an old fatigued Mosley...

                  Personally I thought Mora won, Shane seemed a little embarassed when they called the draw.
