    Should Mosley have thrown an uppercut or a hook? What did he do wrong?

    If you’re talking about the same round, I think he did almost everything except drop him, Floyd was pretty much out on his feet but his supreme conditioning and embedded survival instincts and incredible will to win saw him through along with holding on for dear life, understandably so. He nailed him twice, the second one was brutal yet he still couldn’t sit him down. He expended so much energy smelling blood and trying to get him out of there. Once Floyd is hit by something big it usually never happens again. Richardson his trainer I recall said something like that’s the worst thing he could have done because it woke up the dragon in Floyd and the fight was over. The funniest thing was seeing Oscar laughing his *** off in the background.

    One of the other times Floyd came close to getting in serious **** was when Maidana excellently anticipated and countered the pull counter and rocked him in the rematch resulting in him stumbling to his seat, luckily it happened at the end of the round or it may have been another Mosley situation.
