    I'm taking shane by UD, movement will be key. hit margo and circle him, feints and catching margo's shots will be impoortant as well. if mosley boxes margo easy UD

    Shane better box smart. The more I think about it the better chance I give him. Margarito will put him through hell but it's nothing that Shane can't handle he just needs to stay sharp.

    If only outboxing Margarito was as simple as a lot of people make it out to be.

    I can see why Mosley would say that, Margarito's style isn't based on speed so much as Berto's.

    Anybody else feel like this fight has gone severely underhyped and under the radar? You'd think a fight THIS big would have a lot of hype behind it but alas it's kind of gone by the wayside.

    Styles wise Margarito IS an easier fight. You know what he's gonna do, you KNOW where he's gonna be and you KNOW he's not going to be difficult to hit. Styles wise it's a relatively easy fight.

    It's actually..ya know..FIGHTING HIM that makes it difficult.

    Based on styles, Margarito is going to viciously KO Sugar

    SHane can't "outbox" Margarito. He is not this kind of fighter. He is a brawler, premium edition. But he is too ****ing old and never was a big puncher above 135. Margarito wil brake him down.

    HELL YES!!!

    After thinking about it and watching margarito vs clottey this fight is SUPER under hyped...

    we have the hof veteran that has always been super talented is fading a little bit but may have what it takes to do the job...

    but the hungry prime up & comer that may be the first to stop the vet....

    2 style's suited to make fire works
    2 hungry great fighters
    2 fighters that genuinely believe they have what it takes...

    may even be a 2009 top fight of the year.... like top 2

    I hate to pick the winner in these kind of fights, because I always tend to choose wrong. By looking at statistics and their previous fights Margo should win by decision or even late stoppage, but theres always that heart factor witch I miscalculate, like for example I thought Cotto had enough heart/balls to survive 9-12 round Margo invasion but I was wrong, so I have a feeling I might be wrong in this one too, since Shane have nothing to lose.

    Im on the fence.

    I really hope your right, but one guy who's relentless and a non-stop puncher vs. an old vet who throws about a third of what the other guys does.... Remember Shane's output is a key factor here. Shane may have his spurts, but he's have WAY too many lulls I think.

    I mean just think about their style's... Margarito just comes foward and is there to be punched... shane will have no choice to FIGHT HIM and pick his points when to box.... it going to be an amazing matchup

    If you are going to talk of Shane's style, throwing 30-40 punches a round IS his style. His pawing jab IS his style.
