The crux of the fight, I thought, was that Shane just couldnt belive the speed and accuracy of Floyd's counterpunching. When you are fighting a guy that punishes you every time you make a tiny mistake, you get nervous pulling the trigger. Shane resorted to over-feinting to try and get a reaction from Floyd, but his reflexes were uncanny and Shane ended up stiff and awkward (who would have ever thought that?) He ran out of gas because of that and was in survival mode from the 8th onward.
could the gloves mattered in those 2 big shots? mosley was not able to wear his preferred gloves, the cleto reyes (puncher's gloves). team mayweather required mosley to wear the grant brand of gloves.

also after the fight, i didn't see any noticeable lumps or cuts on mosley's face even after absorbing several clean shots from mayweather. pillow gloves?
