    I didn't think he was going to sign to fight him, then he did and I said.... Floyds gonna be in a world of **** and for about 1 round he was... But Floyd did better than I thought he would.. He walked Shane Down and I never thought he would do that..... If he beats pacman he is will be up there in the Atg list.
     
  2. I expected it to be similar, I thought Floyd would win at least 9 rounds but I expected Mosley to be competitive for more than 2.

    I didn't expect it to be quite as one-sided as it was, nor did I expect Mayweather to spent so much time on the front foot, walking Mosley down.

    It penned out the way I expected it! Unanimous decision for Floyd. What did not follow the script was the asthma attack of Mosley after 2 rounds! Although I expected him to gas out after 5-6 rounds, not 2 rounds.

    Of course, Mosley would have his moment as predicted!

    PBF should have known that Mosley's jab is just a diversion for his power shots. He never puts any snap into that jab its just a range finder. He adjusted to it really well

    No. I didn't expect Mayweather to mix it up with a high-guard and shoot from so close, and I didn't expect Mosley to simply gas after round two and twitch around unable to get off.

    I expected Mosley to surprised Floyd and be competitive for at least 5 rounds. The first part happened.

    I thought Mayweather would pull away in the end, but I thought Mosley would stay in the fight longer than he did.

    I as well thought a 10th round TKO would happen pre fight and received some of the same criticism. I knew Mayweather would be more offensive. He had to silence the critics that he can do it in many facets. I was surprised at how easy it was for him though. I thought it would be a more competitive fight.

    I didn't think it would be by TKO as I figured if Floyd wasn't going to go all out and try to KO Marquez, he's not going to take the chance with a faster and stronger Mosley.

    Still, I was impressed by Mosley's showing in the 2nd round. If he was 33 years old, it could have been the upset of the year.

    I predicted a wide UD with every round tough
    The week a the fight I started thinking Oscar was tough Moseley is like a faster Oscar who can punch this will be good

    To my surprise Moseley rocked him bad

    Lost almost every round and was hardly competitive

    Floyd stood in
