Boxing - Shane wanted to quit
Mosley also said he blanked out and cant remember anything that happened after the knockdown upto round 8 .
Thats a shame.
BUT he didn't quit.
I saw this video this morning on youtube. I was actually a little shocked to see it. Never did I think Mosley would ever say that. Also on the flipside, Nazim must be one hell of a corner man. Judging from the things I heard him tell Mosley in the Mayweather and Pacquiao fights, he jacks me up! He knows how to say the right things but too bad Mosley lost belief in himself.
Ok so based on that footage, do you guys think Nazim Richardson did the right thing by his fighter as a trainer to let the fight continue?
I mean Shane did a pretty good job of running/surviving for the rest of the bout but he still got touched up and hit with some solid punches throughout the rest of the fight...
I can't help but think that the between rounds are as much Hollywood as anything else these days and they just say stuff to add drama.
If Mosley wanted out then Richardson should have pulled him. But I don't think he really did otherwise he wouldn't have got up for the next round.
WOW i didn't expect that from Shane. It's time to retire, the old Shane would have never said that.
That's shocking to see. Mosley really had better hang them up, when you are wanting out of your biggest fight you probably don't have the desire anymore. The body is faded and he doesn't even want in. Retire Mosley, there is nothing else to prove.
whatever. don't feel sorry for mosely. he did this to himself~!!! he coulda went out a hero.
what a way to go out!!! but instead he chose chickenshit running/defense tactics.
like a chump, not even friggin trying!
had it been me, i woulda got ko'ed and went out swinging with everything, and i would have got credit, respect, and kept my honor.
instead, the guy i respected so much years ago totally screwed us out of a good fight, and let me down for the last time.
I hope that was his last fight, i would hate to see Mosley getting beaten up by some guy not worthy to hold his robe. That's it Shane Mosley, you are 40 this year. Hang em' up!
That is really sad to see, Naazim probably should have stopped it. Amazing to see a guy who was once an absolute machine turned into this.
I guess I'm the only one who sees this different. Shane may have said he wanted to quit. But the fact is he didn't Quit. He could have at any time by simply telling the ref. What he said isn't important. What he did was.
:( thats sad, mosley cant help it though. He was out matched in every single way. If im put in there with a beast like pac and getting dominated like ive never been before (including being knocked down for the first time in yrs) im definitely going to have negative thoughts. Does anyone know what round this is?
Tough situation that night for Shane. Either people boo him all night, or rip people off by quitting.
If you listen to the video he says "I cant move" because of the blisters on his feet from wearing the new ring boots that is why he wanted to quit. Imagine how hard it would be to fight Pacquiao being 100% fit let alone having to do it with blisters on your feet.
I was gutted with Shanes performance but after seeing that I cut him a bit of slack. Most people have never been in the ring and do not know what it is like to fight, I had to fight 2 people at once for 3 rounds as part of my kickboxing Black belt exam on a wooden floor with blisters on both my feet and it was one of the hardest things ive ever had to do it was so painfull. I couldnt even walk afterwards and driving home after was a nightmare.

Apparently he had a torn ACL going into camp, and developed a huge blister on the opposite foot witch popped during the fight.
The footage is from a fight camp episode set to air on June 4th.. Some interesting things may come up, during that, I guess.

I don't think the old Shane ever experienced such things... Probably thought, "so this is what all my opponents have felt after i've knocked them the f out!"Quote:

Time to find a new passion though as the guy clearly still has a tonne of it... But getting in the ring should be a way of expressing it anymore. Just for the safety of well being of fighters, they should walk away from the sport on a high, and with all of their faculties still functioning well..

Thats true
#1FightFan, when you have won multiple world titles and fought some of the best of your time and it's coming to the end of your career and you step in against P4P the best boxer on the planet at close to 40 years old......I'm sure you would do exactly as you say. :rolleyes:
Any ordinary fighter can not do that to Mosley even at his age. He was against one of the best fighters of all time( and could probably become the GOAT).
Pacquaio is simply faster than anyone he had fought.
I think Mayweather hit him with more straight rights than pac hit him with straight lefts, so I dont think its fair to say it was just the speed that did it to him. He was obviously losing the fight and if he was injured than thats just going to kill any confidence you had in yourself to win the fight. Injured and losing, your not going to be in a good state of mind are you.Quote:

Not surprised to see this at all really.
If Mosley had quit on his stool the fans would have been pissed, it sounded like to me Mosley wanted to quit, "I can't move" but Nazim talked him out of it.
If Mosley had an injury that was hindering him then he shouldn't have fought. Money talks I guess, but it serves him right. Obviously it wasn't Pac that was making him want to stop it was the blister and leg trouble, but still I don't know why you would have blisters on your feet prior to a fight or be training injured. It's not fair on himself or the fans who might have put money on him.Quote:

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao really aren't that different.
Maximum reward for miniscule risk. It's sensible really.
Yes I passed my test and got my 1st dan and felt I got the better of the 2 fighters I was fighting but I was only fighting 3 rounds not 12 and the 2 fighters I was fighting where definetley not on the same level as Pac lol.Quote:

Thats all the fight was about to begin with = money, Mosley was chosen by Bob Arum because he was a big/recognizable name, who could help put butts in the seats and build up the PPV.Quote:

so having blisters is an acceptable alibi for shane but not for pac?
He's already fighting above his weight class. Who the fuk is he suppose to fight? Put up something that makes some fuk'n sense. Rather than just bitching.Quote:

Martinez couldn't make 150lbs and you'd just say a catch weight drain him and Pacquaio should fight him at 154lbs or hell why not 160lbs so why even mention him?
Your arguments are so pointless and your language so foul that you deserve nothing more than a face down smilie.Quote:
