[Clegg]

Hi, welcome to NSB.

I hope someone rocky balboa his azz one day.

What does that even mean? You want someone to lose a split decision to Ellerbe?

[icebergisonfire]

I really do not think Cotto understands what he is up against. And I do not believe Cotto knew what he was up against when he fought Manny. Miguel will see for a second time what a elite fighter is.

I know right? He's underestimating Floyd, lol. Such dummies.

Good value bet. I expect the judges to lean towards canelo in a close fight based on politics though and thats why i think the odds are so high.

I dont bet anymore but another good one if the price is right, and if the prop is up, is quintana/latimore ending in a ko.

I don't gamble but if I was betting I'd put my money down on Shane Mosley. Against a lot of naysayers I think this is a tailor made opponent for him and it's his fight to lose. Alvarez isn't that mobile, he isn't very fast a foot or in hand speed, he's too willing to stand in front of his opponent, too willing to take punches, not defensively sound enough yet, not experienced enough against quality fighters, he leaves himself open for a lot of big punches. The way he holds his jab leaves an open window for Mosley's powerful right hands to loop around all night. We'll probably find out how well Alvarez can take a drumming to the body as well.

All that Alvarez has going for him is the perceived advantage of being younger, possibly stronger, and more aggressive. If he tries to be aggressive with Mosley, Mosley will use it against him to line up counters to the body, that will in turn open up the big power shots upstairs. Alvarez has some decent offensive tools no doubt, but there's also plenty of questions to be answered about his stamina, his durability, his chin, and how he deals with pressure, REAL pressure. If Mosley is landing on him, wearing him down, and tiring him out, how is he going to handle it? We know that Mosley can survive an attack, he can get on that bicycle and pedal all night avoiding a lot of damage. That takes a lot of focus that people really undermine when evaluating him.

A fighter can get real scatter brained out there trying to think of what to do, Mosley always knows SOMETHING to do and seldom gets really puzzled. Pacquiao and Mayweather frustrated him because they were both a little too fast, and that's something he couldn't thwart with tactics. But, Alvarez isn't Mayweather, he isn't Pacquiao, he isn't even Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito. This is a very manageable and winnable fight for Shane Mosley.

Let me say one other thing too; Someone might get knocked out, and if they do, it's going to be "Cinnamon", not "Sugar".

I agree with a lot of what was said here.

But Shane doesn't have that consistent mental dexterity that u explained here. You don't know what Shane ur getting, sometimes. He'll be the experienced boxer that can hurt u and look for openings one minute, or he'll be that guy that gets tagged and will make the mistake of going toe to toe with u when he's at a clear disadvantage.

That's the mistake he made with Cotto until it was too late. The only reason that fight was closer come the later rounds was because Cotto gassed like he always does.

If Shane's experience manages to overcome his immaturity, i agree with you, it would be his fight to lose. Im counting on the mature Shane to show up tonight, and so is my money.

Hes not just Floyds right hand man hes the CEO of Mayweather Promotions. He needs to be respected.

I'm picking Mosley to win the fight honestly. I don't think he's a shot fighter, he's definitely not what he once was though.

Alvarez isn't a slick spoiler like Mora or a whirlwind like Pacquiao and Mosley fought Pacquiao with a nasty blister on his foot and an injury leading into the fight if you believe him. He's been in with a lot of fighters like Alvarez before, not only in fights but in the gyms in California as well.

Alvarez has also shown signs of losing concentration during his fights and has some big defensive holes IMO and doesn't move his head. Let's not forget that little Jose Cotto was able to stun Alvarez with his left hook. Mosley's best punch is the left hook IMO. And the experience factor will play a big part too I think.

Anyways, I'm going with Mosley in an upset.

It would be lovely if Mosley sleeps that chump.

...............*yawn*...........

Ellerbes just a fat hómosexüal. He's the black version of fat báśtard from Austin powers! But not as cool.
