    It really surprised me. I saw him get hit maybe once or twice flush by Mosley, but nothing too vicious which he shook off with ease anyway.

    But they really have been improving this kid big time. From the Hatton fight, to this point where he was an untouchable shell, has been a huge improvement. No money mayweather defense, but it was still impressive.

    Great chin, great power, decently quick and now great defense. GBP hit the lottery.

    Yea, they'll bring up that one time when cotto shook him up for a second forgetting he was only months removed from literally being just a teenager.

    The kid is steadily improving I have no doubt in my mind that he batters Vanes and Kirkland

    What defense? You mean his Winky Wright impression? And even that came at the expense of his one real asset, his offense.

    At what part of the fight did SSM unleashed a vicious punch? :huh

    Canelo was just standing in front of him and SSM did nothing spectacular.. I know he can do more but he chose not to because he was scared of gassing up and being stopped.. :deal

    Mosely did land a lot of Jabs... But I never saw him land that Many big shots ... only 1 right hand that Canelo ate with no problem which surprised me cause canelo was rushing in, and Mosely threw a big right out of nowhere and it landed flush on Canelo.

    he landed a big right hand at some point in the later rounds that canelo didn't acknowledge in the slightest bit.

    You saw it too.. that was a huge right that landed flush and Mosely was well planted on the ropes and caught him by surprise, Canelo walked threw it like it was nothing,it surprised me.. It didn't faze him at all not even a reaction just kept his assault.

    I mean, we all know he's conserving his energy because he don't want to be stopped.. But at least, he could have thrown a

    During the first minute of the fight Canelo was so tentative he doesn't let his hands go.. He was just standing in front of SSM, SSM could have knocked him out cold if he started doing the same thing he did against Margarito..

    Canelo have no decent footwork and just standing with his arms on his face.. That's nothing compared to how durable Margarito is.. :bart

    Mosley should have risked it all.. He should have went all out in the first round and gamble to KO Canelo.. :ko
