As an experiment, I'm setting up a poll to see who the forum feels won the Mosley-Mora fight. There's a catch however.......In the poll you must specify which version of the television feed you watched...... .....did you watch the HBO version with Jim Lampley calling the fight.... .....or did you watch the International feed with Dave Bontempo calling the action???? Vote on the poll who won and specify whether you saw the HBO version or the International feed. I'm very curious as to how this poll will turn out.
Mora won 117-112 I watched the international but with the sound of as I do for most fights. Mora won by doing lots of good, legal work on the inside, that if he had more poweer, woulda maybe knocked Mosely out.
I had Mora winning a close boring decision. HBO commentors were absolutely terrible. They had Moseley winning every round and kept talking what a warrior he is. He didn't throw or land any punches the whole fight. Also, I think Mosely was the one doing the holding and not Mora!
This poll is different. If people are honest as to what telecast they watched, this poll may show if the broadcasters influence how people score. This is an exellent fight to make this experiment with......as each telecast called a one sided fight for a different fighter. The HBO telecast had it wide for Mosley......the International telecast had it wide for Mora. Its going to be very interesting to see what percentage of the people that had Mosley winning viewed the HBO telecast...... .....the same with Mora, what Percentage who had him winning viewed the international feed.....
It was just a terrible fight to watch, and I dont believe Mosley was to blame, he usually delivers good fights unless he's fighting a defensive fighter who either holds or runs. .....I had it even after 7 rounds, and from my view Mora did'nt connect with enough clean counters to nullify Mosley's aggression the last 5 rounds. Mosley just plain outhustled Mora the last 5 rounds. It was sloppy and ugly, but Mosley outhustled him imo.
I watched a non English version so the commentating wasn't a factor. I thought Mora won. I don't even recall many clean shots that Mosley landed before the 10th round.
assume it was an international feed, but regardless I had the sound down. Shane looked very very average missing lots and throwing wildly. I also did nothink his "rally" in the later rounds achieved much. Mora also ran too much and should have known he would not get any favours.
I don't always agree with Lederman's card, but for the most part he does get it right. Mora did catch Mosley acouple of times late in the fight, but Mosley was landing way too many shots on Mora for them to not be considered. Once Mosley gassed in the middle rounds, it was obvious that was Mora's chance to stop running and start punching. The crowd was booing for a reason. I had Mosley easily winning 8 rounds to 4. No ****ing way Mora should of even gotten a draw. No ****ing way.
No, I had the volume down and concentrated on the fight. I thought Mora was slightly more effective. Mosley was pressing but Mora was making him miss while landing some jabs, and also some clean shots on the inside. The most I can give Mosley is five rounds, some of the first few and the last few. I thought Mora had all the middle rounds.
