I was really intrigued about the late night running and training segments from Floyd. He keeps his body working around the clock. These fights usually go on around 10PM at night and since Floyd puts in work all hours of the night, his body, his muscles, and most importantly, his mind are used to performing at a high level late at night during fight time. Oscar seems to only train until dinner time and such from the footage shown. This will be a problem for Oscar because while waking up in the morning early and training is good, his adrenaline will only take him so far in the fight before his body naturally starts to shut down and he tires. Just like when we all get used to going to sleep and waking up at a certain time and being tired at night, fighters are the same way. Their bodies and minds are used to shutting down around fight time. So after the adrenaline fuels them for half the fight, they can't help but get tired. It's a perfect explanation why his stamina and conditioning is top notch and why he never really tires that badly. This is a really cool show from HBO, I would have never known about that late night training crap.

BTW, did yall notice anything during the little snippets of Mosley sparring De La Hoya? I don't know if De La Hoya was resting during the segments or is trying to throw off Mayweather's camp, but I've noticed from the little bit they've showed the past two weeks, Mosley's hands and footwork look MUCH faster than Oscar's. It's great to do all this talking about what you're gonna do but I don't really see Oscar doing anything out of the ordinary or putting in extra work to win this fight. I mean he's waking up and doing roadwork, then sparring and training during the day, then throwing birthday parties and going on TV shows at night. It all seems a bit too ordinary. It seems like he's training to fight Fernando Vargas a second time not the pound for pound king. Floyd's training at crazy hours and most importantly, he's not losing any weight. He's working on timing, technique, and gameplan right now. Roach said that Oscar was at 154 or something like that two months ago but when Oscar weighed in at the 30 day weight test, he was like in the mid 160s. I'm not saying that Oscar isn't working hard because we all don't see all the footage from camp and we don't know, but I think Oscar is overestimating how important weight is in this match. I think he thinks that him being the natural bigger man gives him an advantage that will put him on a level playing field with Mayweather. But Mayweather has been used to being the smaller guy all the way down at 135. If Oscar could keep his same stamina level throughout the fight, I would favor him to win, but De La Hoya gassing out is as predictable as the sun rising.
