I pick Clottey by decision.
Good fight! tough call but I think Clottey has a reach disadvantage here even though he fights tall. The only thing for Mosley is he might get tired in the later rounds. I think Mosley has to stay busy so Clottey can't get off but pace himself so he doesn't run out of gas. Mosley by UD if it goes the distance, Clottey could get lucky in the later rounds and win by KO.
Well I see a very tough fight for Mosley. Clottey's style is all wrong for a guy like Mosley. Clottey has a great jab and a nice ghanan defense and some speed too. The last time Shane fought someone with a defense like that and a good jab he got beat. And that was a younger Mosley. Clottey is younger and stronger then Mosley at this point and I do think he has what it takes to win a decision.
Personally I like this fight more then the Berto fight. Berto is nowhere near ready to fight Mosley and would be smashed rather easily, I much rather like Mosley giving a guy with tough breaks but obviously skill like Clottey a shot rather then taking the easy fight with Berto
I go for Mosley by KO/TKO
I really hope this fight comes off, definitely a nice way to end the year for us fans.
Being a big fan of Clottey I really hope he capitalizes on this opportunity and wins this one. He's only gonna get so many title shots he needs to win one of these.
Mosley isn't getting any younger and its been awhile since the Margo fight. I'm saying Split decision win for Clottey.
I like this match-up! I think it will be a grueling fight but Mosley will do enough to take a decision.
Anyone know if this is for The Ring championship?
You've got to hand it to shane for taking on tough competiton. Berto is a good fighter but i think clottey poses more of a threat for shane. This is a dangerous fight for shane's carer a loss at this point could ruin potential matchups with the winner of pacquiao cotto or marquez mayweather. I think clottey could pull the upset in this one but shane is a veteran and should never be counted out epecially after the way he looked in his last fight.
IF this fight happen I think Clottey has it, he really impressed me with his performance against Cotto, and if Cotto can't land effectively on him, I don't think MOsley who likes to load up will be able to. I think CLottey is the more effective of these two with straight punches.
Really excited for this one!
I see Clottey winning by UD he'll block the majority of Shane's punches wiyth his tight guard and will come back with straight counters. Maragrito was psychologically beat before he got into the ring with Shane.
I think the style is bad for Mosely too and see Clottey winning a close decision.
I don't believe either guy can knock the other. I'm happy as hell this match got made though :) It's should be a great fight.
