MAYWEATHER-MOSLEY Second Round....What REALLY Happened?

[brick wall]

i've seen a lot of fighters who got figured out by their opponents, taken to school, can't adjust...whatever you wanna call it but most of them keep swinging...they did not stop punching even when it seems like there was no direction. but shane, he froze...he almost stop punching. after that 2nd round, i was expecting shane to come out of his corner smoking and charging like a bull but he did not.

i agree with bhop...shane quit. he just doesn't have it anymore. as they say...the mind is willing but the body is weak. or perhaps, shane's mind got weak in that fight too. it's like a story straight out of a movie where they have his daughter kidnapped and will kill her if he doesn't drop the fight.

Those last ten rounds were an example of what I call beautiful punishment.

My observation:

1. Floyd relaxed and he normally doesnt do that til he's got a man beat.
2. Floyd has great defense but I think his greatest skill is his ability to control punching distance. Many times when he landed Mosley just didnt think he could reach him.
3. He simply started makin Mosley pay for loading up and Like Bhop said "He surrendered". He wont be the last either.

wifebeater was trying his hardest to stop mosley, but failed.

You have poor reading skills. I was using JMM's approach as an example of something Mosley could have done to end the fight right then and there.

JMM got outboxed and outmaneuvered because he was carrying 20 extra pounds than his career weight of 126.

I'd like to see how much faster you are if you were carrying 20 extra pounds from your prime weight.

If he was 5'9 and a natural WW he would've knocked Fraud out.

If I was 11ft tall I could dunk without jumping. And....... If i was 3000lbs I would be the biggest person in the world. And........If I was the fastest runner in the world no one would be faster than me. And......... LOL

Well we know Floyd is not a devistating KO puncher. If you get caught slipping then he can knock you out. They say Floyd wouldnt be **** if he had to fight against Hearns, SRL, Duran and Hagler. I beg to differ. Could you imagine if all his fights had 3 more rounds? His KO percentage would probably be close to 90.

He knew he blew his one big chance and mentally folded. Just my opinion. Plus Floyd raised his game a couple of notches.

Brick this question is not just for you. But..........I wanna know why we havent noticed that just about all fighters punch count and accuracy go down against PBF. He makes every fighter hesitate. The same thing happened to Judah, Baldo, Oscar, Hatton and now Shane. None of these fighters are really that similar right? So I came to the conclusion that he may just be the best boxing has to offer.

doesn't matter, wifebeater doesn't throw enough punches

Is he not what every trainer wants in a boxer? Excellent stamina, accurate, powerful enough to knock people out but not so anxious that he waist energy trying. I have yet to hear any of his opponent (minus DLH) make any excuses besides he is better than me.

From what I remember, Shane kept trying all the way through in the Mora fight.

because floyd is a defensive fighter who likes to maintain a safe distance from his opponents. but against shane, floyd was there all night in front of him at a punch-length distance. it's not like shane chased floyd around the ring like baldomir did. in fact it was floyd who was backing up shane so there's no excuse for shane not to punch back.

i wouldn't have been disappointed if i saw shane at least tried and swinging wildly at floyd and grossly missed but he never tried to fight back. he simply quit. in his prime he got figured out by forrest and absorbed the worst beating of his career but he was fighting hard till the very last round. same thing with his fights against winky.

look i'm not just looking at how good floyd was in that fight like how you *****s love to jerk up on. floyd was good as expected. i'm also looking at how bad shane was. and i don't think it was just because of what floyd did to him. there's something missing in shane's game that night. he no longer have it. but don't you worry...i'm not taking anything away from floyd's victory. i'm not adding anything special to that win either...so don't you tell me about your conclusion because i simply don't care.
