Mosley is still one of my tops favorites. I know his last two fights weren't good, but I don't bale on my favorites that quickly. I would have liked this fight a lot earlier, but I will still watch it now.
I'm rooting for Shane, but I have a strong su****ion that Top Rank/Bob Arum are going to pay him A LOT of money to throw the fight. They're not going to put their cash cow (Pacquiao) in there with anyone who's willing to give him a go. They stand to lose way too much money, because the idiotic *******s are willing to pay $50 a shot to fight anyone. I could go in there and fight Pacman, and do 500k ppv buys.
when he was getting ready to fight Mayweather he had a lot of fans lol
When I was at a bar watching this fight, I couldn't believe how many people were screaming after Floyd got chin checked by Shane...I was like "wow, do you people really hate Floyd that much that you just want to see him get knocked out?" I bet most of those watching the fight where I was were rooting against Floyd more than they were rooting for Shane...
As far as this fight goes, I'm rooting for Shane to pull off the win...Look, if folks are judging him on the past two fights to judge Shane, then I am going for the past 20...and from those, all I get is that he gets flustered from fighters with awkward styles/defense and those that effectively use the jab and reach. Winky pretty much laid the blueprint and had the style to which Shane could barely do anything. Floyd adjusted and was able to brush off Shane's offense and pick him apart. Cotto got off to a great start with his jab, Mora had a bad style for Mosley to catch up to, and Forrest had his number since the amateurs...You could count Oscar in that bunch as well...
Maybe Manny has been able to add an effective jab into his repertoire, but if not, then he could be in for a long night...Those punches from all angles may not mean much unless he can get to Shane...and be able to take what he can dish out...
People don't understand style matches, this is a better style match for Mosley than you think.
Plus both these guys are coming in EPO'd up, so IMO Mosley is gonna shock the shyt outta a lot of folks. Mark my words
Because Shane is old, slower, was never particularly hard to hit even in his youth and prime, has no stamina (despite back to back camps, he was gassed out after 2 or 3 rounds against Mayweather and was breathing heavily the rest of the fight), and Manny Pacquiao is the greatest boxer on the planet. End of discussion.
Seriously, this fight is a farce and I intend to boycott it. Shame on Manny for fighting Shane
The TS is a *******---of course, he would try and defend the opponents of Pacquiao like they were prime, young, hungry rather than shot, old, beat down opponents like what some of Pacquiao's opponents have been.
