Margarito vs. Mosley

No

THat Mayo fight is deceiving...the man weighed 170 while weighing 160...of course he'd look like ****

He'll lose to a close decision

 

I think Shane looked like **** against Mayorga too. But I just have a funny feeling about this one. :good

 

At first I thought for sure Margo will stop Shane, but after giving it a little more thought I think Shane has a good chance of lasting the distance. Contrary to what many believe I don't think Cotto lost to Margarito simply because he ran out of gas, I think Margarito's punches took an effect on him both physically and mentally, generating the complications (bloody nose and mouth, plus fatigue from the body punches) that ultimately led to Cotto not being able to fight anymore. Shane on the other hand takes a better punch than Cotto, he doesn't cut as easily on the mouth, and he does have better stamina, giving him a good chance to fight better than Cotto in the later rounds. However, I don't think Shane will hurt Margo anymore than Cotto did and I don't think Shane has enough left to out box Margo. I can tell you this, if some welterweight today is going to knock out Shane, his name is Antonio Margarito.

 

That's most likely to happen.

 

For the record, I'm picking Margo by UD. Somehwere in the realm of 8 rounds to 4. So I do think Shane will make it the distance, though I see him taking a bit of a beating by the later rounds.

 

I would lean toward a TKO rather than a KO

 

Mosley by ud...Mosley is technically superior to Margarito...Margo can throw but Mosley will counter...

 

You could argue Cotto is too, especially going by the first 6 rounds. But he couldn't handle him in the end, and neither will Mosley be able to in my opinion.

 

yes but the difference is Cotto got worn down, his stamina wasn't there, the same thing happened to him when he fought Mosley.

Mosley doesn't tire in fights like that, if he can keep a good pace he can walk out of there with a points decision

 

I am going with Mosely on this one. Something tells me that Margo has been basking in his glory, endulging and will not have the same inspiration and motivation for this fight. I think that Mosely will even hurt Margarito a few times and surprise him with his power.

 

I don't see Margo as hungry and motivated :good

I think Mosely will hurt him:good

I think Mosely will surprise him with his power:good

But I still don't know if all of these things will be enough...
Margo 115-113 is my prediction

And to answer the original post, Margo ain't knockin Shane out. NO!

 

I love Shane Mosley! but I think Margo is going to Kayo him in round 9 or 10! I would bet my left one on it!:good

 

I hope you're right, but i think that Margarito has a good chance to stop a 37 year old Mosley if he hits him with an uppercut liek Forrest did. =(

 

if margarito can stop mosley.. even though its an old mosley, i think it would be a great look because dont forget that last year mosley took cotto's best punches and began walking thru them. mosley has a great chin so i think its gonna be a difficult fight for margarito... im predicting that he will have a harder time with mosely then he did with cotto but i can see him pulling of a close decision

 

me too i pick mosley:bbb
