Mosley, as always, taking on the tough fights. Gotta give the man props for that, alone. I hope he has Nazim in his corner again. If so, i think mosley can be the first to KO clottey. If no KO, mosley can still win in entertaining fashion.
good fight only thing upsets me is IF mosley wins and more so then cotto they r gunna hype up mosley alot...cotto gives mosley the blueprints to beat guys cotto has already fought its true
Got to give credit were credit is due. Shane could have just fought a stay busy fight, or at least an easier opponent like Berto or Cintron, he has more than earned it, but he still chose to face Clottey. I think that if Clottey manages to be a little busier he can definitely pull off an upset.
Cintron Mosley would have happened at 147. They may have asked for more money, but the risk would have been less. Even if Mosley makes more money fighting Clottey, if he loses (which the risk is bigger than with either Cintron or Berto) than he loses any hope for a mega fight with Cotto/Pacquiao winner and JMM/PBF winner.
But would Cintron get alot less like the same offer Berto got in which he turn it down? I believe so and Cintron just like Berto got the same promoter.
This fight will proved that style does make fight in which Clottey will beat Mosley but won't get an official win by the judges. Watch it be like Diaz vs Paulie all over again with bs judges.
For some reason Mosley didn't seem interested in fighting Cintron. I think the point is Mosley would be taking a safer way (which is not a knock on him if he did) fighting Cintron or Berto even if he makes less money because he has a slightly better chance at winning against them who are better known than Clottey and who is a very difficult fight. By taking on a more difficult opponent even though could be making more money on the fight he is putting at a higher risk the mega show downs he's most interested in.
This is great news. I'm looking forward to this. Big props to Mosely and Clottey both. Mosely by KO in the 9th.
When will people ever learned that Clottey has a great chin and is great at blocking punches will not get ko?????? Many pick Margarito to ko Clottey, many pick Cotto to ko Clottey, now this one is picking Mosley to ko Clottey??? man.
