Ring Magazine's Pac/Mosley Prediction

I'd say Pacquiao UD is the sensible call when you take into account that a) he's the superior fighter and b) Mosley hasn't been stopped.

However, I'm going to bet on a Pacquiao TKO 10 - specifically, a corner stoppage. Nazim will throw in the towel if Mosley starts taking a beating late in the fight.

I'd love to see an upset but I can't see it coming from a 40 year old Shane Mosley.

 

Speed kills. It may look similar to Pac-Cotto.

 

I hate it when people try to make punch specific predictions like that. It's pure fantasy more than a prediction.

You can break a fight down and make predictions according to each fighters physical strengths/weaknesses, skills and probable game plan - that's fine. You can even summise something along the lines of 'Pac's quick right hook will be Hatton's undoing in this fight'. But to start guessing at certain exchanges of punches, the round in which they occur and the physical reaction they produce from each fighter is just pathetic to me.

 

:good
I never read those.

 

This is very true.

 

I'm with this scenario, although i have predicted it will happen in the 9th

 

I hope his prediction is true and we get a good fight...but in all honesty Doug is a huge Shane fan, so his opinion is a bit biased.

 

I'm not going to go that far into detail because I'm not a psychic, but I will tell you that Shane is going to try to fight this on the outside.

Shane is going to try and run Pac into straight right hands and take on the role as a counterpuncher; however, Pac likely anticipates this and will give his angles, movement, and speed will likely be too much for Shane.

Shane will look good for 2-4 rounds tops (4 is being generous) before Manny hits him with something big and we see same old Shane, getting aggressive and Manny counterpunching the **** outta him.

I expect Shane to get knocked down or at least absorb the type of beating a fighter isn't supposed to and for his corner to throw in the towel maybe around round 8 or so.

Where Mayweather decided not to finish Mosley, Pac will...

Naz is going to tell Shane to fight Pac like Bernard would...problem is...Shane isn't Bernard.

 

Bull****. At precisely 1:49 into the second round, Pacquiao will throw a 1-1-2-3-6 combination that rocks Mosley back on his heels. Al Bernstein will exclaim, verbatim, "What a combination!" The camera angle will shift to behind Shane Mosley on the ropes, with a clear view of Pacquiao's face. Pacquiao will come in quickly, blinking once, and unleash a combination of hooks to Mosley's midsection. Naazim will be heard faintly in the background urging Shane off the ropes. Those watching in HD will catch a glimpse of Bob Arum scratching his nose on the left edges of their screens as the camera angle changes again.

 

I see Nazim stopping this fight. Mosley will be competitive for about 6 rounds then Pacquiao will turn up the heat, and Mosley will be forced to back up in the end. I can't see Mosley pulling through in this, accumulation punching will stop this fight.

 

Unlike Floyd, Mosley will have more opportunities to land some big shots against Pacman.

 

Pac UD is the most logical outcome. Why is everyone pretending otherwise?
