Shane Looked To Me That He Was More Weary Of Throwing Than Being Dead Tired

Yeah it was weird man, he seemed afraid to throw punches at times, doing that small bounce a lot and not throwing.

 

It's an obvious natural reaction when any time you do throw something you miss and get countered.

Of course that makes a fighter tentative and makes them fight scared.

 

He was afraid to throw because he knew it would get caught if he did.

 

There's nothing weird about it. It happens when you face PBF.:deal Also PBF has underrted power and strength I guarantee Shane says that in the post fight conference

 

He was getting the living Hell countered out of him. That's why he was weary of throwing. Shane came out strong, until Floyd stepped it up.

 

I donb't understand all of this "Shane was getting countered all night and that's why he didn't throw".

Shane was not countered hardly at all in the first two rounds. By the third, he stopped throwing punches. He would sit in the middle of the ring for 30 seconds at a time doing nothing, then get drilled by a jab or lead right. He did not get countered all night, as he was not throwing enough to even get countered. The last 6 rounds especially, Floyd led far more than Mosely did.

WHy Mosely did not throw more, I still don't know, but it wasn't becuase he was afraid to get countered.


HUGE props to floyd for shking off too solid shots, and then FORCING the action (I actually never thought I would say those words) on a hugely inactive Mosely.


My guess is that during those final exchanges at the end of the 2nd Floyd may have hurt Mosely. Not buckle his legs type hurt, but stunned him enough to get his attention and make him worry about getting planted later in the fight.

But I've only seen the fight once, so I'm just guessing.

guaranteed.

 

I have no idea why people say he was tired. Shane looked and fought way worst against winky. It's a look of befuddlement and frustration. That's why he tried to throw Floyd against the ropes at one point. He was getting countered and the counters had pop on them. It's the same reason why Oscar stopped throwing the Jab... Floyd was countering over it and his body began to react to it, it's simple.

 

It was both IMO.

 

Well, he was much more active against Winky, much more active. I know Winky stands there and lets you take a shot at him more than Mayweather, but still. Different Shane

 

When people mention counters they are talking about the power, strength, and regularity of them. Floyd makes the people he fights get confused and they really don't know what to do.
