Shane isn't used to this type of confrontation ... he did as good as other Mayweather opponents. He's not urban, but more suburban ... Mayweather is straight from the hood and is a natural at trash talking and getting someone psychologically out of the fight. I remember seeing him like that as a youngster ... there were many people around town that tried to test him ...
If Mosley can somehow box with Floyd it should be entertaining as hell ..I heard that Ellerbe took a fall I didn't see it ..
Its a press conference. Its meant to hype the fight. It literally has zero outcome on the actual fight itself. So stop trying to make it into something it isnt. There is no way anyone( unless of course you are professionally trained in observing the slightest body language details) can make any determination of how either fighter feels psychologically. Moreso there is certainly no way you can determine how the fight is gonna play out. You can take guesses sure, but anything can happen.
This is great hypertainment. It's making me wish the fight was this weekend coming (even more than I already was anticpating it, anyway). Then again, there's a 24/7 still to come and really pile it on. This is gonna be some spectacle of an event come fight night.
You have a point there. With the letdown of the Pac fight they might think they need to add a little spice to sell the fight.
well theres two things you can make out of this little clip. one, floyd is more composed than shane is. that might work against shane, it might not, everybodys minds works in different ways, but you might see shane trying too hard, and getting caught with counters, or you might see shane react like frazier, and it might bring out the best in him. two. well, one thing for sure is shane is the stronger guy out of those two. i thought that was quite apparant by how easy shane was able to push floyd back, but strength is not everything in boxing.
Personally I think Mayweather looked nervous in the face-to-face trashtalking, and Mosley's smiling showed his confidence. Whether valid or not, Shane is hungry and confident. he may be bothered by floyd but I don't think he's psyched out or anything like that.
