What a disappointment this was. I knew this wasn't going to be great, but in the end it wasn't Pacquiaos fault, it was Mosleys. As I stated once before, Mosley wouldn't trade with Mayweather, so he sure as hell wouldn't trade with Pacquiao no matter how much he said he would. He basically forgot how to throw any punch besides his jab. He landed 1 glancing right in the first round that snapped Pacquiaos head back, then every other round he threw about 2 or 3 right hands and the rest were jabs. The only purpose of that jab after Pacquiao KD'd Mosley was to keep distance while Mosley ran. After the "KD" of Pacquiao I thought he was going to end this fight as he looked mad and was basically running at Shane as he backed off. Shane was able to run through the rest of the round, and in the next few rounds Mosley was just walking in to hold even though no punches were thrown. Pacquiao got two 120 cards that he deserved and won an obvious mismatch of a fight. Bad first fight for Pacquiao on Shotime. This might do 1-1.1Mil. Dont expect any following fights of Pacquiao to do more than 1mil from now on unless its with Mayweather. So much for this being a "better" Mosley than Mayweather fought. It wasn't. It was actually a worse Mosley than the one Mora fought.
Good post. Mosley is just old who can't pull the trigger anymore. I am disappointed Pac couldn't finish him after that bogus KD.
Hopefully he loses popularity because the only reason he got this fight is because he was a big name. He should just take his undeserved 5mil+ and retire. Time for the younger guys get a shot at these big fights. Hopefully Arum doesn't sign him to TR.
I don't think the fans will agree to see Pac fight another overmatched opponent again. Pac didn't look as good as usual, but I guess he didn't have to. Really dissapointed with Shane, he just shouldn't have taken the fight. He did the sport a lot of damage tonight. Pacfans can bask in their win tonight, but this was a sad spectacle. First superfight in a long time I left feeling sad.
What hindsight renyo? You gonna start with that "nobody believed he could do it" ****? Everyone, even the *******s, knew this was a **** fight.
I can't help but to think what a prime leanard or duran would have done to tonight's version of Mosley.
Not hindsight at all. Only *******s thought this was going to be a good fight. Many have questioned this farce since it was announced. *******s are the ones with excuses. Even Manny is making excuses now going as far back to JMM saying his legs were tired/cramped as the reason for close fights. My take is someone in the backroom listened to the commentary where an announcer said Mosley was doing what JMM did. (sky announcers) Dumb Manny crossed his words when he fabricated an excuse by mentioning JMM. The excuses never stop flowing.
