    nope.

    Mosley is being tested (OSDT) for EPO, and wont be able to "juice up"

    funny thing is, Pac WONT be tested. Only Mosley will.:lol:

    besides, the fight is FIXED in pac's favor, anyways.

    I think Mosely has to do something BIG early in the fight. He has to hurt pac bad enough to make Pac hesitant. He has to do that inside the first 4 rounds. If it gets past 6 rounds, I think it will be all Pac.

    I had the same feeling going Into the Margarito fight,I felt Antonio had a good chance of hurting Pac and stopping him.

    I expected him to have at least a good 20 pound weight advantage,and with his nonstop pressure coming forward style and Iron Chin and motivation/hunger to prove hes legit.

    I felt Marg had a good shot.

    I agree that having seen the last few fights from both fighters that the likely result is Manny becoming the first man to stop Mosley, but I still get this feeling that this could be one of those fights that has an unexpected result. Mosley will be a lot more compfortable in there than he was against Mayweather cause he has nothing to lose. Because of that he may take more chances and instead of looking to land one punch and maybe he will try to set traps and disrupt Mannys rythm.

    Clottey, ODLH, Cotto, Hatton, Margarito all have one thing in common. All of them are right in front of you when they are done punching. When Cotto got right back behind his jab after throwing his punches, he was sucessful but he only fought smart for 3 rounds. Mosley does fall into the same category as all those guys, but he doesnt need to. He is a bit more dynamic and knows how to step around his opponents. If he can put it all toghether for one last night, he can win. If he cant, well then hes just another of Mannys victims.

    You mean because of the lack of a long layoff and such?

    I agree, if he can hit Pac early and keep him honest, he will have a chance as the fight goes on.

    As someone else said, I also thought Tony may be a problem for Manny, but in the end his hands were simply too slow. Shane still has good hand speed and is a better craftsman than Tony.

    Ok cheers mate, I'd agree without the inactivity he may be a little better, also there will be no silly trash talking which ain't Shanes game at all. Respect all round and a recent streak of activity might allow Shane to focus much more.

    No one is being tested. Manny is clean so stop implying you know differently.

    Day of the fight and I still got this feeling. I cant stop thinking that Mosley is a very different animal than all the guys Pac beat from Hoya to Marg. Not one of those guys had a good right hand or confidence in their right hand, also none of those guys were mentally 100% imo with the exception of Margarito and Clottey, both guys who just didnt have the tools to beat Manny. I think Shane has all the tools necessary to beat Manny, or at least he did. So, to me this is more a question if Shane still has access to those tools or is there to much rust and wear on them for them to be useful.

    Also, something about Manny seems different to me. We all know Mosley is old, but we never consider Manny losing a step. This is a guy that has been in a lot of wars and has has a lot of fights. Most smaller guys dont have that much sucess into there 30s. Manny is no longer a little guy, but how long he can continue to beat the odds is not known. Shane is a very different fighter from Cotto but of all the guys manny has fought, he is as live as Cotto was. but the most significant difference is that he has a trainer in his corner that can guide him through the fight, something that Cotto didnt have. Plus Shane wasnt made to come down to 145 like Cotto was so that gives him a mental edge too. If last night showed anything in the Concepcion fight, its that Arums matchmaking is not flawless. Shane has two hands, and I expect him to use them well.
