Anyone exited about saturday? This **** is going down. Here are some things to think about: >Both men have a high tolerance for enduring shots but Margo is expectacular >Mosley has some speed at 147 but deffinitely not what it used to be more or less a bit slower than Cotto >Margarito has incredible stamina, Sugar is good but the only reason he could not take out Cotto is because he was gassing out the last two rounds when Cotto was vulnerable. >Mosley perhaps has the advantage one hit power but again it wasnt enought to take out Cotto Simply put Margarito will do what he does and it will be enought imo and it will look somewhat like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQsyqVESHY
No im comparing the style in which Forrest took out Mosley, he didnt respect his power and cought him with some sweet hooks and upper cuts. Mosley didnt know how to handle the pressure
Yes Vernon had a better jab than Margarito and moved better as well but do you guys think Mosley will avoid Margos shots after 130+ power shots and having to avoid them all? Mosley will gas out and will be an open target
it wasn't the pressure that mosley couldn't handle. it was vernon's handspeed, and deadly accuracy that got him first. the only reason mosley fell twice is because he had the balls to trade with forrest when he was hurt.
Yea I know that, but like you saw in the Cotto fight, Margo was deadly accurrate in his punches in the 10/11 round and everything he threw was landing. Thats the strategy murder the body take your prize
the collusion of heads shook mosley up and then right afterwards Forrest landed a bit right hand and this set him up for the uppercut. Forrest has a really really really powerful uppercut, it is quite underrated. He had Ike wobbling up and down from his uppercut, he had mayo saying this black guy hits hard from his uppercut. Margo doesn't have the same power in his uppercut like Forrest does. Not to say that Margo doesn't have a good one, he does and he used it well against cotto, but it was a accumulation of punches that made cotto submit -- Forrest can put an Elite fighter on ***** street with just one Uppercut but its just he was a terrible finisher.
I agree this thread kinda sux, there is no way you can really promote this fight, in my eyes its the last hurrah for and old fighter who had done just enough to excite the sport between the DLH and Mayweather era, and we are seeing Shane going from being one of the very best P4P to becomming the sacrificial lamb to jump start a new kind of super star in the sport come saturday night.
SSM will lose because he can't fight for 12 rounds, not because he isn't a good boxer. When he tires, his team better be ready to throw that towel in or he's going to get his ass handed to him. He was gassing against Mayorga, the cigarette smoking, health addicted tomato can.
I'm excited, I really hope Shane pulls it of, I think this may be his last hurrah and I think he pulls it of by UD.
Let a a 170 iber hold you every chance he gets. Mosleys stamina is fantastic for a man his age although I would certainly give Margarito an advantage there or anyone probablly.
