Mosley was definitely hurt, but other then the KD, this fight was fairly uneventful.

No kidding, notice how Shane wants to touch gloves when the action resumes after the KD, it's like he's saying, please don't hurt me Manny.

he's taking seconds off the clock - pro trick, nothing new about it :rolleyes:
Re: Pacquiao knocks down Mosley - in the 3rd round
The touching gloves plus the hug at the start of the 12th took about two minutes off of the scheduled 36. That is like a worker going out for a cigarette break every 30 minutes and still demanding regular breaks on top. You are earning millions of dollars between the two of you and you want to take time off to be friendly? A total mockery really. Have respect for each other by touching gloves at the start of the 12th and hug after the fight, but to touch gloves after every single landed punch is just ridiculous. And there is no reason for a 12th round hug, I am sure about 15 - 20 seconds were lost because of that alone.

Re: Pacquiao knocks down Mosley - in the 3rd round
All threads with Mosley name in it should be LOCKED!!! Better yet, CLOSE!!!
Re: Pacquiao knocks down Mosley - in the 3rd round
Mosley was the one who's been initiating the touch gloves and hugs. I remember when Roach advices Manny (I don't know which fight it was) to never touch glove with opponent.
Manny should've done what Floyd did to Shane. No time for patty cake, just punch.

One thing you can give she credit for, is experience told him to stay down and take the count before he got up, most guys would shoot up and face disaster(judah-tzzu)

I feel for anyone who bought this PPV, if you payed $55 to see this fight, you damn sure didn't want to see 2 guys playing grab-ass. I kinda guessed this would happen when Shane gave Manny a big hug after the weigh-in.
The more I think about it all the glove touching and hugging from Mosley was just a clever ploy to lull Pacquiao into a false sense of security, and then boom, lights out! It's all clear now.
