Scar- Mayorga was what 174lbs at fight time. Plus he has a GREAT chin. Those kinda guys take time to take out. Mayorga claimed after the fight, that Shane was the hardest puncher he has faced. When asked how he came to that conclusion, since he has fought guys like Oscar,Trinidad,Vargas,Forrest, he said "Because Shane was missing most of the night, then WHAM!!" Only Mayorga could say he was missing all night Lol.
Anyone picking Pacquiao inside the distance is on Crack :!: Mosley's chin is granite and Pacquiao cant bring what it would take to even drop Mosley Mosley KO8
Agreed. Mosley has to be one of the 3 smartest and best prepared fighters in the world, and EVERYONE is forgetting the X- Factor in ALL this. Nazeem Richardson. He will Def. find Mannys weakness, and sorry to say Manny has Many!!
Still I'm talking about it technically, if Mayorga seemed to confuse Mosley at times with his wild swings and punches from odd angles imagine the accurate extra active with SERIOUS power Pacquiao would do? He's just too much for Mosley at this stage.
Nazeem is definitely a huge factor in this fight, and I agree, he will dissect Manny's tendencies and provide Shane with a solid game plan. Pacquiao has more technical deficiencies than Mosley. :good
But thats just it. He was confused because there really is NOT a "Gameplan" to fight a guy like that. I mean you put manny in there and I KNOW 2 things happen. He does NOT KO Mayorga, and he himself is JUST as confused. Alot of fighters have struggled with him. Vargas(shell i know but still had a better pedigree)....Trinidad did for most of the fight till the KO....Forrest well we know what happened there. Just sayin...basing something off of a fight with Mayorga is like basing your Football "Gameplan" from a Basketball coach.
I'd also like to add that Mayorga runs hot and cold, and he seemed really motivated for the Mosley fight. In fact, dare I say, as motivated as I'd seen him since his controversial loss to Spinks.
One thing about Mosley though is I never liked where he keeps his hands, Cotto was tagging him all night and I think Pacquaio would to as long as it last. That's alll Pac's got though, Mosley is way too strong, big, and fast for Pacquiao. I think Roach knows this as well.
Exactly!! Manny still leaves himself WIDE OPEN when he throws that new Right Hook. I mean I was seeing it and wondering why Oscar didnt throw the Left Hook...BOW!!! But it is because Roach was right, Oscar could not pull the trigger, and with Ricky well LMAO....he was NEVER in that fight. It looked like he was going for the KO right off the dick. Shane WILL find that OBVIOUS opening by round 2, and have it Fully exposed/used by 4.
