Also Mosley above all was determined to stay off the ropes, totally unlike Cotto. Margo is at his best when he traps you on the ropes.
Plus by not moving as much he was able to physically impose himself more (partly this was just cause he's physically stronger than Cotto and as it turns out Margo too) and gain respect, moving away from Margo constantly just gets his blood moving. He likes that.
Even in prefight interviews you could hear Shane talking about conserving energy, he did that by staying in the pocket and strategically holding instead of throwing punches and then moving, retreating to the ropes like Cotto did which wasted a lot of energy.
