IMO, Pacquiao wasn't taking Mosley seriously until Bailey's called a false KD. "Legs" come on he chased Mosley after he got KD.
Why would that matter? My complaint was about reactions to boxing, so if anything I would have to only start reading boxing forums last week.
Here come the bull**** excuses. :verysad Became past his prime overnight. He was past his prime when he fought Morales 1 too then. What hapened to Pac was that Mosley actually used some angles, a little head movements, and other things that Pac hasn't seen in a while. Pac looks ordinary everytime he fights someone that can actually box and use intelligence.
I think he over trained. Roach and Ariza had to tell MP to slow down in training. I think this is the end for Mosley. His last 3 fights was really sad to watch.
Pacquiao looked a bit slower, but I wouldn't say he put on a C level performance...he couldn't take Mosley out because Mosely desperately wanted to make it to the final bell, and wasn't the least bit concerned with winning... ...saying Pacquiao put on a C level performance is saying that there were opportunities there that he couldn't take advantage of, and that wasn't the case. There wasn't a whole lot more Pac could have done with such a docile opponent.
Yea but did you see how easy it was for shane to slip.punches and create counter opportunities if he had pulled the trigger, did u see how manny times manny jumped in looking off balance and having range problems, or are telling me Shane Mosley is that elusive?
Niether. Mosley didnt come to fight so it made Pac look bad. plus Pacquiaos last 2 fights were guys that just stand still and make Pac look good. Mosley actually moves around so Pac was missing punches beause Mosley is not a punching bag like Margaritos sry ass. Pac is still more prime then ever.
**** mosley, i was too pumped up to this fight knowing shane will be there to exchange. but ****, i lost my respect to him.
He met a fighter that was not coming at him... he didn't do a Marquez show where he would counter and throw combos... but who knows why Mosely Didn't throw many shots at all? why? only he knows. He did know how to hold his ground like Marquez but didn't have the stamina to throw like him... or do combos and counters. Also Over rated might be a better term Props to ARUM for building him up but he is not the killer they make him out to be he has just been matched well. Put him with a master counter puncher like Marquez and Mayweather and you shall see... Marquez outboxes him yet again. Can't wait for novemember.
HOW CAN MOSley counter when he was backpedalling when pac attacks. when pac is able to close in, he clinches..
I point to overtraining. He was looking great early in camp, usually that's not a good sign. He probably peaked way too early . Shane made the fight look ugly too, but there's no doubt that Pacquiao from a 1-2 years back would have finished him off at some point. That was the most restrained I've seen Pacquiao look in a long time.
Larry Holmes said recently that the only thing that he dislikes about Pac is that he trains too hard. You have to be careful not to leave everything in the gym.
