I was at that fight and it certainly didn't look like that from ringside. He clearly landed the harder shots IMO but was still controlled by the jab and Winky's physicality.
Watching this fight makes me hesitant to pick Mosley for May1st, but im still gonna stick with the hometown fighter.
Let me tell you, there's a difference when watching a fight between Wright and Floyd. Those are two VERY different animals in there. And again, from my view Shane easily landed the harder shots and even hurt Winky a time or two. Winky was just too long and too big for Shane to really get him in trouble.
atsch He lost but its not like he got dominated, he won about 5 rounds and even hurt Wink in the 4th, the thing is Wink was just too big for him.
He done well in the first two minutes of round 1...to be fair. What struck me was the way Winky handled Sugar.
I'm hesitant due to age nothing else as Floyd would not have been very competitive with Wright, what can you do against a master boxer who is much bigger and stronger than you ?
I think alot of people really don't realize the size differnce between a Shane/Floyd and a Winky. Winky is clearly a MW that could make Junior Middle. He has freakishly long arms and he can take a punch. All with his turned around southpaw style makes for a long fight. A very underrated fighter that had a great amateur background. He was definitely a very talented fighter that just didn't make a great TV fighter.
If you think that was something re-watch the first one. with that said those fights have no bearing on what will happen May 1st.
Winky didnt look hurt in the 4th rnd to me. Shane was definetly getting frustrated because he couldnt land like he wanted to.
and you can bet Mayweather has watched this fight. This is why I think Mayweather wins the Mosley fight easily. Mosley cannot do much with a fighter who is quicker than him.
Winky beat Shane because he was much bigger, longer, and physical with Shane. He came forward with an authoratative jab and he could take Mosley's best shot. Floyd will fight Shane totally different. I don't think this is the fight to point out why Floyd wins.
