Mosely-Mayorga,Who do you think was winning?

[Kev]

I wouldn't have had Mayorga well ahead but I certainly felt it was a really close fight.

Mayorga suprised me with his activity level and was throwing mutliple combinations. There's no doubt he was more up for this fight than any fight in a long time, and he looked massive for the weight.

I thought it was a really close competitive fight and disagree totally with anyone who had either Mosely or Mayorga comfortably ahead.

To me it was one of those fights that could have gone either way on the cards.

But it's all irellevent now as Mosely proved why he's one of the greatest with a superb KO at the end.

I had Mosley ahead but not by much.

Thought Mayorga was missing a lot, hard to score of the TV mind it always is. it was close.

[ICB]

To be honest i thought most of the rounds were pretty easy to score, i had it 7-4 to Mosley going into the 12th round.

Mosley landed the cleaner effective punches especially with the counter shots, as he was catching Mayorga coming in all the time.

Mayorga threw more punches but they were mostly wild ineffective punches, which were missing especially his flurries, which he tried to fool the judges with.

Quite suprised some people had it that close, i thought it was close in the middle rounds, then Mosley pulled away in the later rounds.

As Mayorga was landing at a lower and lower percentage.

That was exactly my scorecard. Once Mosley got used to the wild angles and a little steam came off Mayorga's punches, Mosley took over. In the beginning, he was very cautious and rightfully wary of Mayorga's power, but Mayorga was landing very little. Shane was just peppering him with clean straight rights.

So from what everybody has said on here it was very close and could have gone ethier way which is what the oficial judges had it.

WOW! not often you praise the judges of a top fight.

[Von Milash]

in my eyes, an easy fight to score. SSM took a round off here and there, but by and large, was well ahead going into 12. mayorga is nothing more than an amateurish brawler with bull strength. he has no skill whatsoever, and that's why he loses against top fighters.

the better man won. justice was served.

[kingfrnk]

i had mosley winning by 2 rounds but everybody was scoring it differently espn had ssm winning by 2, when they showed the scorecard during the fight they had mayorga by like 3 rounds. but it was not a good performance by mosley i hope he doesnt fight like that if he fights tony.

[Trainer Monkey]

I had it as a pick em going in to that last round

[ross]

Im just going to sound bitter beause I was so damn sure Mayorga would steamroll Mosley, he was bigger, he was stronger he just seems to have lost the fire that made his name, a style like Mayorgas needs to be fighting more often, like a tiocking metronome with its momentum.

Credit to Shane, the finish couldnt have been more conclusive, no arguments there but as for the scoring, what did Shane do? Fuuck all.

Mayorga was outboxing him and I was dumbfounded when he got hurt in the last, I couldnt believe that he would go down after doig so well and then just stay on his back!!!

Ok he may not have realised how long was left in the bout but to just lay there and accept defeat was a bit odd, even get up and hold, anything, im pretty sure he had his facultys still.

I was o sure hed knock Shnane out I put £10 on each round for Mayorga and also £10 for a Mayorga and Forbes double, so £130 quid down the fuuckin drain!!

Mayorga deserved at the very least to have been ahead on the cards, Mosley got outhustled and out jabbed by Mayorga

Mayorga got owned, and so did you, for being so cock-sure he was going to destroy Shane. Maybe you'll start to understand that matchup make fights now. You thought Mayorga was winning that fight, especially towards the end when Mosley was peppering him with right hands and Mayorga was landing nothing effective? You really are a fanboy. If Mayorga was so much bigger, he would have been KTFO much earlier.

I had SSM up by 3 points going into the 12th round...
He won a couple of the early rounds and swept all of the middle rounds until the late rounds where he took off 1 or 2 rounds and then won again.

I keep reading all these posts about how bad SSM looked. Well yeah did you see that Mayorga was a Light Heavyweight last night?

Not only that but Mayorga minus his little show of letting SSM hit him fought well for him.

Why don't we aske better how many of you after seeing Mayorga take flush shots think SSM would stop him?
Exactly...

SMM knocked out a guy who outweighed him drastically.

I agree with you pretty much Mick, Mosely beat a huge and very determined Mayorga in a weight class that he never really belonged in anyway.

It was by no means a bad performance by Mosely. I thought Mayorga fought a superb fight given his limitations and although it was scrappy and even comical at times I really enjoyed it.

And the knockout was sweet

Mick i also had the same score when i was doing RBR, 7-4 to Mosley.

And Ross what the hell are you talking about ? Mayorga outboxed Mosley are you blind ?

Mayorga was being aggressive and throwing more punches, but he was the one getting outboxed. By Mosley's quick/sharp counter shots. Mosley made Mayorga miss a ton of punches especially when Mayorga flurried, he missed almost all of his punches.

And even though the fight was messy at times thanks to Mayorga's one punch and holding tactic. I think Mosley performed well once he got over the first 3 rounds, there were flashes of the old brillance from Mosley.

Especially when he beat Mayorga to a pulp in the 7th or 8th round i can't remember which.

But i don't see why people are being so hard on Mosley, yes he looked lazy at times. But i thought he fought a smart fight, and i liked the way he took few rounds off at the start of the fight. To figure out Mayorga's unorthodox style.

Once Mosley got his right hand leads working especially countering with it. I thought Mosley took over the fight, i think Mosley still has alot to give to boxing and i think he will still do well against most Welterweights.

Andre Berto vs Shane Mosley is a mouth watering fight to me.

[Tysonbruno]

I think Mosely was just edging it and that is a big JUST! but i dont think he should retire he just fought Mayorga's fight thats all. He could fight Forrest or Berto for a title and i think he could beat either.
