Mosley vs Margarito Jan. 31!!!

Mosley is a warrior, but I think he takes a beating in this one. He's a lot easier to hit than he used to be and Margo just keeps coming. I think Tony wins this by wide UD.

 

Shane officially surpassed DLH in the balls department.:good

 

WOW Mosley got allot of heart but Margarito is going to stop him late.atsch I dont think Mosley has the power to back Margarito off.

 

Good ****. I can't wait for that fight.

 

Mosley just not active enough anymore to win this fight. I'll be going for Mosley though. I'm hoping for an upset :yep Once again though, Margo quick to fighting much smaller guys. If he wants to really prove himself to me and boxing fans, he needs to move up and fight at 154 or 160. Fighters his size :yep

 

well mosley got an iron chin i dont think hes gonna get ko

margarito by ud outworking mosley

 

props to mosley for taking this. even though i like margo as a fighter, i would be rooting for mosley on this one.

 

We really do not understand how rough and tough Shane is. He is not much smaller than Margarito and is willing to stand in front of him. I think Shane is too much for Margarito. When Shane is tired, he clinches and makes his opponent tired. If Margarito gets past Shane with a KO that will be unique. Even Forest could not do it. How man years has it been since Shane has hit the canvas?

 

:good Mosley is a shell of his former self he looked bad against Cotto when he was getting beat to the punch and outworked. Against Mayorga who was also shot he was getting hit way to much the true signs of a shot fighter. Prime for prime Mosley by UD because he wouldn't be hurt by Margo and still put his punches together into combos thus scoring the harder and more meaningful blows. Now he'll get outworked and look completly shot and lets be honest Mosley was never considered the smartest fighter and will have no plan B when his power boxing doesn't work.

 

true hope mosley hit and move

 

It seems everyone will take a fight against Margarito, but Paul Williams is left in the cold I wonder why!!! :think

 

This is a bad matchup for Shane. Really bad. His tools have been falling apart on him over the years, he doesn't go to the body anymore, he gassed out so bad against Mayorga that when he opened up in the 6th he needed two rounds to recover, his lateral movement was also virtually nonexistant in that fight. He's still a sharp and precise puncher, but I doubt he can KO Margarito who walked through so many tough clean shots from Cotto.

Reminds me of Barrera signing the rematch with Pacquiao. A very brave old champion signing a fight he probably can't win against a younger guy with a lot of physical advantages. And it worries me too because I've always liked Shane. :-(

My prediction: Margo by mid or late round KO. If Shane can put it together and put in a throwback performance he'll go 12 on his heart, but unless he can turn the clock back about 10 years, he's going to lose. Margo's workrate will overwhelm him on the cards.
