I'm not counting Shane out & saying he's super old until I see him fight one more time at 147, and without a big gap in between fights.
i like that avatar. But I'm rolling with Mosley by UD. If its a real close fight again, I look for Cotto to get the edge
Shane ain't no more gonna get stopped than BHop. It ain't happenin! Shane will kick Cotto's ass in a rematch. I think those last rounds were very telling. Cotto was able to hit Shane with a couple of good shots, but never really hurt him one bit. Shane needs to put the pressure on Cotto early and he'll put his ass to sleep.
Mosley took just under 36 minutes to put any decent pressure on an open shot Mayorga. He was taking full rounds off at a time, i think he is definitely declining and i wouldn't expect a better performance than his first fight with Cotto. Unless of course Cotto shows some serious negative effects from the Margo fight.
Thats how I felt at first too, but I gotta give him another chance before I completely count him out! He's SSM!
This one would be very hard to pick. On one hand Mosley was coming on strong late as Cotto seemed to tire, while on the other hand Mosley is just getting older.... The longer they wait to rematch, the worse Mosley's odds must be. Also depends how Cotto rebounds from the Margarito fight.
It's 50/50 for me. He watched the fight and saw what he should have done earlier. Then seeing the Margo fight. So he has a game plan for Cotto. I give him a 50/50 still.
id have to go with cotto. mosley didnt look impressive in his last fight against mayorga. maybe it was an off name for shane, or maybe it was due to age catching up to him. the only way well know is the nect time he steps back into the ring. i think cotto could possilby win a clearer decision second time around.
During Cotto/Mosley fight, Mosley's father asked Shane "why aren't you throwing your jab"? Shane said, "I don't know." Ever since the fight I've been puzzled as to why Shane didn't throw his jab. Throwing his jab could have made the difference.
Yeah, I remember that part too. Shane will never be capable of having the good stamina he used to have
Is this a joke 15 people voted for Shane. The Mayorga bout tells me Cotto would win more clearly if they met again.
A young SSM beats him handily. I think an old SSM already did about the best he's capable of in the first fight, no need for a rematch.
