    I think the majority of us not influenced by Mosley's brutal beatdown of Margarito, had it going the way it went. A spirited effort by Mosley but Mosley's age and power was not a match for Floyd's speed and technique.

    No. I got mocked for predicting 120-107 and it ended up 119-109.

    In some ways, yes. I sure as hell didn't expect what I saw in the 2nd round. I expected Mayweather to be stunned here and there but not that way, I honestly thought he is either hitting the canvas or getting stopped that round or the next.

    No. I predicted more rounds for Mosley.

    I did however expect a UD for floyd.

    I predicted 8-4 or 9-3 Mayweather. So I was 2 rounds off.

    I didn't expect Mosley to catch PBF so clean.

    Most of the rounds were as I expected.

    Yes I picked PBF to win by wide UD and said Mosley would start off strong. 10-2 or 9-3

    I called it to the tee and yet people thought I was crazy.

    I did long arms and throws a good overhand right which can get over his shoulder roll. I knew he would land that punch against PBF. I said this in my pre-fight analysis thread.

    good call. I thought Floyd would be able to see it coming every time because Mosley kind of telegraphs his shots.

    I thought he was going to give Floyd a tough fight, but still went with Floyd by UD. I didn't expect Shane to look so old. And I didn't expect PBF to be as strong as he was either.

    You're right but Shane set up the first one beautifully with a jab first then he came with the overhand right.

    More or less. Mosley at 39 without EPO isn't exactly a beast.
