Mosely-Mayorga,Who do you think was winning?

[CutMeMick]

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.

May orga did his share of holding but he wasnt the one that was so eager to hold he (Mosley) litteraly jumped off the floor for a hug

Like I said before the fight, SHnae is small and too old to carry on, unfortunately for Mayorga he is accurate and has stayed in the gym, if Mayorga had taken a fight inbetween he would have been a lot sharper.

Shane looked his age and so did Ricardo and all of a sudden eevryone is shocked that the fight wasnt good, I though Mayorga would be too much, Mosley certainly wasnt as good as De La Hoya or Trinidad, he had big trouble with very underactive (by his own standards) Mayorga.

Now Mosley realises how silly he sounded when saying he can fight the top boyts for another 5 years and back tracked about a Margarito match.
