I think maybe there was a judge who has a similar philosophy as I have when it comes to scoring fights...I never reward RUNNING (Fighting Backwards)!!!! Mora stayed away from Shane in several rounds, If Mosley wasn't coming forward there would not have been ANY ACTION AT ALL!!! I still thought Mora won, but I can understand how Mosley received Rounds. The difference in the Mayweather Fight was Floyd stayed "IN THE POCKET" and outboxed Shane...While Mora ELUDED Shane for 9 of the 12 rounds. Fight Fans know that you'll never win by Running (fighting Backwards). Mosley PRESSED THE ACTION!!! Imagined if Mosley wasn't coming forward...it would have been a Baseball Game: A NO HITTER!!!! Again, I had Mora winning on my scorecard 115-114, But I understand how some judges give rounds to the fighter "PRESSING THE ACTION".
:good In a fight like this anything between 116-112 and 112-116 is a fair score. There are arguments to see it anywhere within that range depending on what you as a judge favor.
I'm with ya'. Any more or less dedicated boxing fan knew that the fun was gonna' be in the undercard. If you are disappointed, you are either ignorant, too broke to be purchasing video entertainment anyway, or just plain stoopid.
I didn't watch the fight, but Mora lost because he was a dickhead on The Contender. I'll spare the poll of my vitriol.
Draw was the right decision Approximately 50% think Mora won Approximately 35% think Mosley won Approximately 15% believed it to be a draw
I scored it 116-113 for Shane. I don't give a **** what anyone said, doing what Mora did, wasn't how you win a fight, ecspecially on a big stage. Sugar looked like garbage but he at least was landing more garbage punches than Mora was. Sorry ESB I guess I'm in the small minority on this one.
Mora, clearly. Mosley barely landed despite the manipulated Compubox numbers and the disgraceful commentary. I wonder if they are so fond of Mayweather's style, why didn't they appretiate Mora's clinic over the old man?
