    I just had the opportunity to score Mosley vs. Mora. I don't see where all of the controversy came from regarding how Mora may have actually won that. Though there were some relatively "close" rounds, Mora's only clear and defined round was Round 10. It was a very ugly performance by Mora and a very disappointing decision on the cards.

    Mosley cleared up any notions that he's shot or washed up in this fight. Mora fought a "spoiler" type fight and Mosley was able to take it to him from Round 1 to the very end of Round 12. Mosley didn't run out of steam despite being in against a guy who fought an elusive fight.

    Class post-fight interview by Mosley and I hope to see him in big fights in the future. I still regard him as a credible fight for Pacquiao, assuming the fight were to happen at a minimum of 147lbs.

    Bring on Mosley vs. Berto, the classic we never got to see.

    Also, I never care to see Mora ever again. I love watching slick boxers. He's not a slick boxer. He's a spoiler.

    I watched the fight again today when I was running, Mora came to survive/backpedal/box... he showed no desire to fight or win.

    Little mosley had to chase him down and fight out of clinches. It was a shitty fight, but Mosley won.

    Exactly. Piece of **** of a fight, but I just do not see how in the hell you find six rounds (or more...) to give to Mora. They just weren't there. Mosley brought the fight, landed the cleaner, more effective punches, and won the fight flat out.

    mosley is washed up, doesnt need to fight slicksters anymore just fight guys that he can match nowadays or retire, i scored it 7-5 with the sound off for mora by the way.

    Mosley won clearly.


    Dumbass *******s like gander tesco were just waiting to say Mosley was shot no matter how the fight went. Everyone knew this fight was risky, that Mosley struggles with boxers and that Mora was the naturally bigger man. It was almost a 50/50 fight I thought. Hell if Mora fought Cotto I'd have it 50/50.

    But Mosley did enough to win and should have got the W.

    Couldn't agree more. I can "accept" close scorecards with Mosley winning.

    regardless how you scored it, it was a controversial fight against Sergio Mora. Mora kind of sucks and on top of that he is severely weight drained at 154. I think he weighed in at 157 and then had to cut 3 more pounds.

    I think Mosley is past it. I don't think he's an interesting opponent for Pac. I'd much rather Berto.

    For the record I had picked Berto to beat Mosley when they were scheduled to fight in January 2010

    I really can't understand that scorecard. Mosley landed the clean effective shots round after round.

    aww what a shame you actually agree with me :smoke:smoke

    pre-fght i thought mora would win. anyone who knows who mora knows you do not look good against him. t was always going to be scrappy.

    but mora did jack **** in the fight. clear mosley victory.

    its interesting because back then i DID think mosley was shot, i picked berto to stop him. but against floyd and mora he was the same mosley he has been for a whle now. he cant adapt for ****.

    like he said, in his prime mora would stll have been a stylistic nightmare.

    Why is it the the *****S with a brain the size of a pea like Michigay, Marnoff, Lufcrazy have it as convincing win for Mosley?

    For once, can we agree that Mosley is not past it so that they can have their sense of sanity? Afterall, the Mosley fight is the pinnacle of the Foulmouthweather resume.
