Mosley-clottey

Mosley just needs to let his hands go, Clottey will go into a shell and not fire off, an easy night for Shane. /thread

 

Agreed 100%.

Clottey would have occasional success, but he doesn't have the power to bother or push Mosley back as he did with Cotto. I believe Clottey would be careful and would use that tight defense to block most of Shane's punches, but Mosley would take the decision being the faster, better boxer, while having the power to hurt Clottey.

 

but the question is, does the currrent mosley have the stamina to keep a high workrate, knowing that clottey is always in his shell and occasionally pops a good straight jab? the answer here is probaaly no. i want shane to retire now, but would not lose sleep if this fight gets made so we can see how much mosley really has left.

 

But Mosley won't need a high workrate throughout the entire fight to beat Clottey.

Clottey never throws many punches and does a good job of staying in his shell when he knows his opponent possesses the power to hurt him. In addition, Clottey is not faster than Shane, and when Mosley is the faster man in the ring, he can do wonders. Let's not forget that Clottey has proved time and time again that when he needs to step it up, he always comes short. I don't see how Clottey would be able to step it up vs Mosley, when he has repeatedly failed to do so in the past.

 

get a life.:hi:

 

obsession... atsch

clottey vs shane... you still manage to put *******s here.

 

mosley's shots would be mostly blocked by clottey. could he sustain this grueling fight knowing how his gas failed him in his last fight? as i say, mosley probably has 6 rounds to impress on clottey and the judges and we are not sure that he takes them all. it has to be effective aggression and clottey would fire back once in a while at worst. this fight will all defend on how aggressive clottey would be.

 

SSM takes the UD but i do feel Clotty could give so much more if he was a little more agressive when eh finds an opening , the fight against PacMan flustrated me , watching Clotty work an opening for one or two little upercuts when he could have had so much more.

 

i think its a good fit...could anser a lot of questions as far as where these fighters are or was it the their previous fighters which made them look so bad just a lot of insight could come out of this fight...would love to see it...NOT PPV though.

 

Are people talking about Shane gassing forgetting that he threw more punches and power punches in the last 6 rounds than the first six? He wasn't gassed, Floyd adapted, he was still bouncing around. And getting hit is tiring.

Are they also forgetting that Clottey has terrible stamina and an awful punch output?

 

Draw.

And i'm serious too. Clottey wins 6 rounds based on his superior boxing skills at this point in time and Mosley wins the other 6 when Clottey shells up and lets his hands go.

 

This is a good idea. Clottey will be dying to backlash his next opponent due to the criticism he has been receiving, and if Shane's stamina levels are really as feeble as they looked vs PBF, this could be Clottey's fight as the Grand Master's poor workrate wouldn't be such a handicap as it was vs Pac and to a lesser extent Cotto. I'd back Clottey by SD/MD. The guy is a talented fighter who is being a bit underrated now purely because he was dominated by an ATG who was all wrong for him. I honestly think Shane is done now. Still, Shane has been written off before and came back. I'd like to see this fight.

 

Please. How is Mosley a better boxer than Clottey? Mosley's boxing skills are so overrated it's not even funny. He fights right in front of you and gets hit. He never gives you any angles and his punches come from predictable places. He has almost no lateral movement nor can he sidestep guys. Anytime he faces any boxers with some skill, he has trouble.

And right now, the difference in hand speed in minimal. Clottey's hand speed is underrated.

 

Shane landed 13 power shots in round 2, and landed only 29 for the rest of the fight. 13 in 1 round, 29 over the next 10. What does that say to you? Maybe that he had the energy to get close to Floyd, impose his physicality on the contest, have the strength to be accurate and fast? He clearly lost this zip over the next 10 sessions.

Wearily plodding around PBF and flinging out feeble, inaccurate punches in tired defiance does NOT prove his stamina didn't falter, it very obviously did. Nazim kept saying to him "You're fading on me man", because he could see how exhausted Shane was fighting. I think you have let Compubox bamboozle your mind, watch the fight again instead.
