The key for Shane is to JAB JAB JAB!

roger seems to always say that's how to beat his nephew.

floyd sure had problems with it against DLH. I don't know if mosley's jab is gonna be that effective. i really hope shane whips that ass though.

 

First off Mosley doesn't have a Jab, second when he does Jab it's really lazy because he actually is throwing it to gauge range ( everybody knows Mosley;s bread and butter is throwing wide looping power shots ), not to score points, or inflict damage. So if he jabs to much even with a slight reach advantage he runs the risk of being countered early and often. His best bet is to do NOTHING, let Floyd do all the work, make Floyd come to him, make floyd fight a offensive fight, take alot off his punches and try to shoe shine, cuz if he goes in there thinking " ONE BIG PUNCH" well be waiting for them both to be in a retirement home before it lands.

 

I agree with allot of what you said, but Floyd lead ? NO ! Its not floyd style to lead unless he has taken the steam from his opponent, and shane is not a counter puncher or decent defensive fighter, he or was a outstanding offensive fighter. So I don't see the roles switching for these two fighters. Also floyd not dumb enough to bring the fight to a fighter, who's legs are not what they once where.. Floyd is going to let shane come to him, and let shane use up what lil energy he has left in his legs and then apply some in and out tactics in the mid round when shane is not able to get off the mark with his feet.

 

Shane can still move and he can use that jab, turn it into a hook, lead to the body - we saw how Richardson brought it out in him. I do expect his age to catch up with him though.

 

He should get Jack Loew as his trainer "Use the triple freakin jab Mosley"

 

He needs to be agressive as he was with Margo.

 

Hes **** out of luck then because his jab isnt up to much

 

Mayweather vs. Mosley will not be a particularly jabby affair, period.

 

+1 Moselys jab isnt good enough. I think he'll be quite cagey and negative. If he's aggressive Floyd will counter him easily and often. The only hope I can take from this matchup, as someone who would prefer to see Mosely win, is that Floyd does not have a really thudding, powerful, controlling jab, like all the fighters Mosely have lost to have. I don't think Shane has lost much speed really, so he should be able to swarm Mayweather when he chooses to.

 

His jab has gotten a lot better with Nasim but that won't be the key to his win; it still isn't good enough to trouble Floyd.

I think Mosley's chances will fade as the fight wears on. He should try to set up big shots early when Floyd is looking to feel him out. If Floyd makes any mistakes it's in the first few rounds. He won't win by decision and a knockout in the later rounds - after Floyd's made his adjustments, is very unlikely. Mosley needs a knockout early to win this one.

 

nazim is the key to this fight. we know what floyd will bring.

 

DLHs jab is far superior to Shane`s tho & FM took DLHs jab away eventually & outboxed him down the stretch & its not as if FM wasnt in the fight while DLH was jabbing, he was keeping it even, winning & losing close pick em rds, then he swept the last 3rd of the fight once he figured the golden goose out/the golden goose stamina failed him.

Shane is quicker than oscar tho but also a bit more open.... it will be a competitive fight but I expect FM to rise to the occassion & prove why he is the best of his generation by simply being the better pure boxer on the night.

 

Excellent analysis. I agree. Shane's jab was key to his victory over Margarito. If he can do the same against Floyd he could win. But I really think Floyd will be just a little too sharp and quick for Mosley. But I'm rooting for Shane to prove me very wrong.

 

I don't think Mosley can win with the jab alone, for reasons already said. He flicks with it way too much, it is nowhere near straight or hard enough to keep Floyd quiet for as long as Oscar's did.

I think Shane is going to have to go with what Roach suggested was the way to beat Floyd: beat him up. Work him over constantly with hard, fast punches everywhere. (And put the emphasis on fast, even if you have to sacrifice power.) Hit Floyd in the head, body, arms, you name it. Use the jab enough to keep Floyd honest, keep switching up what you're doing in order to keep him guessing, (for example if one time in you do a left hook off the jab, next time feint the left then throw a straight right , then change it around for the time after that, and so on and so forth) take advantage when Floyd goes into a defensive shell or is quiet, be sure to throw punches in bunches then to impress the judges and make Floyd look passive.

Above all, jump Floyd early. Floyd likes to take the first couple of rounds off while studying a top rate opponent, make sure you win those rounds decisively and try to force Floyd into fighting too defensively to win a decision.
