POB I think you have gone insane.
I had to go rewatch at least that part in round 2. Mosely would of if he could of. He wanted it. Mayweather did all the tying up he could to keep it from happening.
Note: Mayweather had (prior to the hard shots) been keeping his left hand extremly low for extended periods of time. After getting hit, he only dropped the left hand for very short momments. (at least when he was in range of Mosley)
Ie: Mayweather learned his lesson. He hadnt fully respected Moselys ability till then. (so it appeared to me)
Not going to argue with you or try to change your mind, but rather bring up a few things.. We've seen Floyd do this to people in the past, he's left them gun shy because of his counters.. Shane also through hard punches later in the fight and missed.. he loaded up on a few, and you can't really miss that close on purpose if he wasn't really trying to KO mayweather..
besides all of the physical stuff in the ring.. i can't see shane taking such a smaller % of money, and talking the trash that he did publicly about how mayweather won't beat him, and then throwing the fight? There are too many parties involved, and shane didn't get an absolute enormous amount of money to throw one of the biggest fights of his career. There was a rematch clause in the fight, if Floyd DID get KO'd in that second round, i'd see an immediate rematch of the fight, which would do HUGE money, then if mayweather wins the rematch and even possibly a third fight, also, the Pac fight would still be huge a year or two from now.. plus it's not like pac is undefeated and it would be undefeated vs undefeated.
i just think there was too much involved in a mega fight like this for it to be fixed.. again, not arguing, but just understanding where you're coming from and trying to make light of it.
Wobbling mayweather is a sure sign thats the moment to pull the trigger. Your never going to beat this guy on points he is just too fast and busy for that.
Same thing happened with hatton, he had him in the 1st round and wobbled him bad, he took the "i can build from that" approach instead of finishing it there and then
Also there's more than Mosley's rep at stake if he throws the fight. You have Golden Boy on the hook and Nazim's reputation as a trainer. Nobody wants to be the trainer of the guy who threw the fight, especially if you're on the top 5 best trainers' list. No, I think Oscar dislikes Floyd too much to have anyone in his stable throw a fight for him. You're likely to see the opposite; Oscar having Floyd knee-capped before throwing a fight for him.
He was wobbled, he got caught on the chin and his knees went underneath him
The clearest sign of this is when he nodded his head to indicate he wasnt hurt, a sure sign with fighters that they indeed were hurt and were trying to convince their opponent they werent!!
One of the things we are taught to do, and I still get wrong, is to never nod (or smile) after receiving a good shot. It is like telling the judges and the fighter across from you..."nice 1, you got me." And could end up losing you a pt in the amateur scoring system at least.
