I really want to bet on Shane winning but have a feeling if I did he would let me down. I do feel he has a great chance and you would make good money if he won and bet on him. This kid is so fresh and untested to go up and even make it competitive with a 70% shane. The question really is just how shot is shane? If he's not completely gone he will blast this kid. We're talkin about a ATG vs. a good, young fighter -- not some future ATG.
I don't really see the base of all these predictions, but I guess we'll see later on. I think it's a terribly one sided bout.
I would have agreed with you a couple months ago but I see that fire in his eyes again. He knows that this is his last chance and he's going to make the most of it. He's going for the win tonight, win or lose...WAR MOSLEY!
:-( There is not a chance Alvarez loses to Mosley. Let's entertain the idea that Mosley just beats Alvarez up from pillar to post. There is pretty much no way Mosley will get a decision. I don't see this fascination of picking Mosley. This is not a prime Mosley, or even a Mosley versus Margarito. (which is about 3 and a half years ago) This is a Mosley that lost every round to Pacquiao, and one that looked like crap versus Sergio Mora. If this is a prime Mosley? Then hell yeah, pick him against Canelo, but this just isn't a prime Mosley. I sure as hell hope Mosley, somehow, turns back the clock and makes it a bit entertaining winning a few rounds and fights like a warrior, but those days are long gone, I'm afraid.
Well said, Demolition Dan... Mosley has to shoot Alvarez to win, and even then, he won't win a decision against Golden Boy's new Golden Boy.
How do you figure? Maybe 10-15 years ago. Alvarez' high-output style is all WRONG for Mosley tonight. His swollen face will prove my point.
Alvarez has bad defense, habbit of dropping his hands while and after punching. Mosley has speed and power. Only problem is Mosleys age and condition. Upset chance is there, depends on how fit Mosley shows up. A younger Mosley would knock Alvarez out of the ring.
Props to Alvarez. He beat Mosley just as bad as either FLoyd or Pac. And more props to Mosley also who showed a lot of heart he could have packed it in but stuck it out.
