    Did you watch this with American commentary? I'm not being a snot, serious question, because I saw it with British commentary night of the fight off a live stream. Those who saw it on American HBO didn't see the fight the way we saw with the British commentary. The American viewer had a much more comfortable lead for Mosley.

    Commentary has never gotten in the way of me scoring a fight based on what I'm seeing with my own eyes. Mosley landed cleaner, landed more, landed at a higher percentage. the sixth or the seventh was a 10-8 round for Mosley in which he gave Mayorga a terrible beating. Mayorga grabbed four rounds. That would mean even if Mayorga had gotten up from the second KD he would have lost by something like 115-109. Going into the 12th I probably had Mosley up by three points. I actually recall the HBO commentary being very kind to Mayorga.

    I don't think Berto winning would be a major upset. Shane should win, but Berto is more than capable.

    Can he? Yes. If Shane starts slow, gives him too much respect, and lets him gain a footing, and if his stamina holds up, it could be a close, ugly to score fight.

    But I don't believe Nazim is going to let those things happen. Berto is too flat footed to use movement against Shane, and his jab isn't special either. He's going to have to outfight Shane toe to toe or just grab him all night like he did with Urango, and neither of those approaches is going to get the job done.

    Mosley makes love also i dont think this will be as exciting as yall think berto may get frustrated mosley might hit him clean and wrap him up which will drive berto crazy because he cant retaliate

    Anybody can, hence the word UPSET, but he won't don't worry, this will be a championship tune-up for sugar shane, bad news is after this fight if Mayweather loses Pac will retire, and Mayweather will be bitching about a rematch that won't happen, and he will continue to cherry-pick until his fuse fades. If Mayweather wins he will cherry-pick for money until his fuse fades lol Then the only step next for Shane will be Williams, which he won't want to take, but he probably will. and will probably win. Then for the next 20 years we will be talking about what if Shane had fought pac, mayweather??????????????????..............

    No way :nono shane is way too experienced for Berto,mark my words Shane will knock Berto out,Berto have no advantage against mosley not by height,weight,power and speed because Mosley have it all as well even better than Berto and talking about youth?Mosley is old school and will drown berto in the deep sea.
