Pac ******s are Pac ******s. Mosley lose the fight in the same 2 round that he hurt Floyd. And he does not lose the fight because he was reluctant to throw jabs or because he was reluctant to do something. Mosley do the same he does with Margarito and the same thing that he has done all life. The only difference was that it does not work in the same way. After the second hard right Floyd goes to the ropes, Mosley deliver and Floyd start to throw his own bombs. left hooks, body shots and took the fight to Mosley. Then Floyd throw a right and his legs woble again, this time Mosley threw his stronger bombs, without technique with the full body as he does with margo and ko him. But Floyd continue his path toward him and give him a terrible right hand a very strong left hook, miss a hook, put a right then a clinch, some more punches and the round end and the fight ends to Mosley because he knew that he can't ko Floyd. He was punching with all his might and Floyd continue towards him. He have ko margo and vargas, but Floyd was still coming and taking his best shots??? Mosley believe that it was a nightmare, but it was right it was a nightmare, but he was not SLEEP!!!!!. In the third the world collapses to Mosley when the bell ring and Floyd was over him, punching him slipping punches like nothing has happened in the last round. At that time Mosley froze, his face changed and his stare was lost in space. He knows that he can't win the fight , he realized that he was not stronger than Floyd and much less faster, and worst of all, Floyd punches were hurting him and for the very first time in his life he taught that he can lost by KO. That's the reason why he go in survival mode in the last rounds, because he was afraid of hell to lose by ko to Floyd. Floyd punches were hurting Mosley badly. And he has no answer for nothing.
Mosley came to fight and win! Problem is he was grossly over trained! Having spent 7 weeks in camp for Berto, he had nothing left! He spent his bullet early and was very close to scoring a unexpected KO over Money in round 2! Mosley has never come to fight just for a payday! Anyone who knows anything about boxing or sports in general, could see he reflexes were shot! It was like someone took the plug out of Sugar after round two? All credit to Floyd! He adjusted well and survived the second round near disaster! He will be too much for Pac Mac! But I will pay to see it!
As impressed as I was with Mayweather, I was disappointed with Mosley. Maybe he had over-trained but he was making basic mistakes - no head movement, hands too low and pulling straight back from punches which made Floyd's counter right over the jab so easy to land. Nazim was right to tell Mosley he had to MAKE opportunities and that waiting for something to present itself would make for a long night, which it did! Apart from landing some good punches in the 2nd round round, Mosley made it pretty easy for Floyd. Mentally he seemed confused and discouraged as others here have identified but he had none of the energy or enthusiasm that he had 10 years ago when he faced De La Hoya for the first time. That Mosley would have kept at it with vigor and determination but the one we saw last Saturday seemed content to ljust it all slip by. Shame. . .
Shane's always like that. All sportsmanlike with his glove touching and then a few seconds later he's trying to break your ribs. I've seen him touch gloves a couple times after the guy gets up from a knockdown.
I hate to say it but Mosley had the look that Marquez had after a few rounds, that Hatton had after a few (even though he kept fighting hard) Delahoya had, Judah etc. go back and look at all floyds fights and look at the expressions on these guys faces in between rounds towards the middle of the fight THEY ALL HAVE THE EXACT SAME LOOK, that 1000 yard stare, shell-shock look, the coach is telling them what to do and they sound like the charlie brown mom cartoon voice to these guys Ive watched fights where guys where getting there ass kicked and couldnt wait untill the next round to start because they feel they are still in the fight or what ever, Ive seen fights where the guys are so shook that it is over before the bell rings ala mike tyson or Hearns but how often do see it where you see that a pro relizes he is in way over his head
just goes to show how amazing Margarito's chin is. It took about 800 Mosley power shots before he buckled.
He did this while beating the **** out of Margarito. He is a gentleman though so its no surprise. He thought he could win, hell the look in his eyes and him talking about Pac after that fight coupled with a round 2 assult that almost put down Floyd almost convinced me he could win.
shae underestimated Floyd like everyone else...Shane thought he was faster or as fast and was wrong...he didnt respect Floyds power and found it his power is not something he could just take...shyt goes down hill when they actually get in the ring with Floyd. Soon as you have an assumption that i can take his punch and find out you dont want to just take his punch now and have to find another way to land..shyt changes. When you find out his defense is harder to get through then you thought shyt changes. When you find out his speed and reflexes are faster then you thought shyt changes... If you cant adapt to that shyt....your fukked. Its the same with Pac...people dont fully understand how fast he actually is...how hard he actually hits...punches from angles...its hard to grasp that shyt by just watching tape or listening....u have to experience it....BUT u have to adjust to that shyt quick....JMM did it however he did not come out ontop he produced very close decisions. if you cant adjust in boxing especially at this level....you are in for huge problems!
