It mostly involved Mosley moving away or standing at distance and loading up on shots, Margarito needs you on the ropes before he can be truly effective, and Mosley due to clinching was allowed to reduce his output in order to never get caught on the ropes, Margarito is like a train, and he needs to build momentum, but because of clinching he could never get that momentum going, I love that Mosley did it. Margarito is maybe the only guy at the top of the sport that I hate and nobody is happier that he lost than me. I am just saying refs can change fights.
A lot of things can change how a fight looks but Margarito was going to lose. It was one sided, man. Please listen to yourself my friend. This is a trivial topic. Mosley landed that right hand all night and going to the body early and often is what kept Margarito honest in his bull charging tactic. He had to bring his elbows down and this delays the timing on his headshots. How about we talk about what really could've changed the fight significantly, the plaster in his handwraps. I'm sure the punches would've been more significant and Tony would've threw his 100 any kind of punches just so he could land as many as he would know he just needs to land punches. And his confidence would've been much more solid coming into the fight and throughout trouble in the fight.
