HBO Fight night:Berto/Forbes & Mosley/Mayorga

[Spicoli]

Oct 4th is insane...Angulo/Tsurkan Nice match up.

Im betting Mosley fights Berto.I like Mosley,styles make fights.

No offense but anyone who had Mayorga winning this fight is crazy IMO, Mayorga was missing majority of his punches, where as Mosley was landing effective clean punches. The fight was close at one point but Mosley pulled away in the later rounds, to have a comfortable lead going into the 12th round.

How was that close fight Margay was not hitting anything miss so amny shots it was not even funney. Shane wone that fight hands down with or with out the knock out hate the huging fuck Margay complains to much.

wait so ur telling me that all the three judges has eyes everywhere and was able to see allthe punches that landed......HMMMMNO

it was who won the round at a perspective of an human eye and it sure as hell was pretty freakin close at the naked eye, but since u have ur hd tv on thats another thing it wasnt an easy fight for mosley, i;ve never seen him hold that much in my life

Totally disagree buddy. Mayorga was thowing alot more shots and at times Shane was barely doing any work. You could tell by his facial expression he didn't think he was winning it. It was close, but I thought Mayorga was ahead. The finish was beautiful, but if I were Shane I'd be questioning how long I had left because apart from the finish, he looked poor to me tonight.

Shane i dont think wanted to hold but Morgay kept tackling the guy.

[Mr140]

Morgay was missing ever shot he throw and Shane was hitting him way cleaner and he was rocking him in the mid round fight was not close.

that was awesome. even some of my kids who dont normally watch the fights were watching the later rounds. For Shane to KO a guy 10lbs heavier is great. Go the old guys - hes about the same age as me.

I agree that some rounds Shane Mosley totally went to sleep, but he started to up his work in the later rounds. I think Mayorga fooled you mate with his wild flurries, none of those punches were landing. Where as Shane Mosley was landing nice crisp counter shots. I think Mosley did perform poor at times but Mayorga has an awkward style so it turned into messy fight at times.

It was a very close fight. As to Mayorga missing punches he caught Mosely flush several times, the HBO team just refused to even comment when he landed.

One of the most biased telecasts I've ever seen imo.

I have no problem with Mosely winning had it needed to go to the cards, but no way did he win that by more than a couple rounds.

He seemed to gas from the 7th to the 9th rounds and it was close over the final rounds until Mayorga got KO'd at the end.

Mayorga won the first 2 as well imo.

You could make a case for Mayorga being ahead imo, it was one of those fights that could have gone either way.

Mosely clearly landed the crisper punches over the course of the fight but its scored on a rbr basis and there were many rounds where Shane did nothing.

I'm interested to hear how the official judges, who didn't have the benefit of the HBO commentary scored it.

Ditto that; I was hoping Forbes could have done the same thing tonight; but there was never much chance in it happening.

[Mr140]

Really like Shane to fight Cotto again i thought Shane could of won the first time they fought but it was so close that it did not matter.

First off, Congrats to Berto and Mosley on big wins.

Berto's handspeed impresses me every fight, and it's still there at the end. I think he's in the wrong place at the wrong time to be undisputed at 147, but time may tell if Williams sticks to higher weights and Margarito moves up, and Mayweather stays retired, he may have a shot.

Brilliant KO by Mosley to finish off the fight, gotta be honest though, he's getting Hopkinsitis on the lack of activity and he looked genuinely tired in many of the rounds. I think Shane's years are starting to show up on him, maybe a fight with Forrest would be good, but retirement should be considered soon.

Yeah but was a much bigger difference in the Berto fight.

Sorry Bilbo i did not think it was close at all but thats just me you can disagree i have no problem with that Shane hands down was winning.
