Pacquiao Is Gonna Take Alotta Damage Against Mosley

[Daniel Alpha]

I would say Cotto is more than just 'alright' technically and he has a top notch jab, just was rendered useless by Manny's speed, timing, head movement, and footwork. Just look at how effected a slick fighter like Foreman was by that stinging jab.

Margarito made Manny look like a toddler in the ring and he came out with a stiff jab early, then Manny figured him out and it was a landslide from there. Shane isn't a great technician at all, in fact Cotto is his superior in that department. Plus he has a strange jittery, flimsy shot he calls a jab but will serve him no purpose whatsoever against Pac.

Shane will look like DLH in there and will be befuddled from the opening bell. Manny will jump on his, keep him turning all night and land at will. He will have absolutely no problem getting into range.

Adding to what have already been said here...
Pac will win by out working shane. Mosley is smart but he wont be able to adjust to Pacs rhythm because Pac has no rhythm. Pac constantly changes the angles of his punches, these constant punches from multiple angles will confuse shane and he will be force to go into defensive mode. Pac will be throwing fast punches from round 1 and will win either by stoppage or because he is the busier guy. It might even be over before the 10th. I am also convinced Pac will be the stronger warrior, the harder puncher and definitely the faster guy. Mosley in his fight with floyd showed the world his stamina already gone after only the 2nd round.

Shane will try pot shooting with his jabs, but Pacs will figure him out and those jabs as Prince pointed out will become a liability eventually. A good example is the Cotto fight. Everytime Cotto throws those jabs he is immediately countered with straight lefts and right hooks.

Also, noticed in Pac's fights he beautifully timed his opponents' right hook and overhand. He lands his own left overhand even before his opponent is halfway with theirs.

Shane's heavy bombs are his right overhand and hook. He throws them with high frequency most specially if he thinks he got his opponent cornered. If he can land them with regularity, he might just pull it off and make it to the final bell. However, I dont see this happening. Shane is good for the first few round and its straight downhill from then.

C'mon man. Shane is a dumb fighter point blank. Put him infront of a smart "Boxer" ie: Floyd, Vernon or Winky he gets confused and befuddled and stops throwing and gets outboxed. Sure Mosley is gonna get f'ed up but he is gonna let his hands go more then his last two fight. His gonna land flush straight right and ****** sloppy thrown power hooks.

Yea Mosley being a dumb fighter is why people don't give him a shot, but what they don't take into account is what he should do in the fight is extremely basic.

[Mojita]

bet you Mosley quits on his stool.

Pacquiao will just overwhelm him after a couple rounds. ****m wont let his fighter take a beating like the joke corner Margarito did.

There's only 2 punches that somewhat disrupt Pac's rhythm- jabs and uppercuts. Shane has neither in his arsenal. All Pac has to do is avoid overhand rights, shift to his [Manny's] right and keep Shane off balance, pepper him with straight lefts and counter right hooks and it will be an easy night's work. It will be stopped one way or another before the 9th.

Shane better have the number of a great plastic surgeon.

Yup. Shane has no footwork, Shane has no head movement at all. Lets face it, Mosley hasn't been in his prime since 2002. The only fighters he's beaten are slow fighters with no footwork and are easy to hit, with the exception of Collazo of course but he was clearly past due.

This is an easy fight for Pacquiao, all he has to do is avoid the overhand right and it's a wrap son. Easy UD or a late round stoppage.

Pacquiao is a sucker for the straight right hand too, any southpaw is. The last few fighters he's fought are not known to have good hand speed or straight right hands. Cotto was the closest and he's a better left hook thrower than right hand.

Well, according to Manny, he is the smartest fighter he has will have ever fought.

I laughed when I read that.
