Margarito - Mosely? -hell yeah.

[GAME]

Once again Shane proves he is the most gutsy fighter out there . If only Floyd and Oscar were more like him .

Anyways I have the feeling this is the wrong fight stylistically for Shane . Its not the 1st time hes met the wrong guy at the wrong time but Im sure he will give a good account of himself but come a way with a points defeat

[intoccabile]

What I find funny though, is Shane admittedly ducked a fight with Berto. Saying he wouldn't want to fight Berto because Berto reminds him of himself in his day and it wouldn't be a good fight for him.

THEN goes and signs for a fight that's not a potential loss like Berto would be, but a potential end to his career. This is why you have to commend Mosely. He loves the tough fights.. he's so good for boxing. We need more like him.

Mosley is the man. Always has been. That said, can Mosley employ the strategy Cotto employed the first 5 rounds for a full 12? At this stage in his career?

Mosley deserves praise, but give Margarito his daps too. If this fight comes off, he'll have fought Cintron, Cotto, and Mosley in three fights.

Yeah and he fought Paul Williams b3 Golden Johnson

Props to Margarito too . They are both warriors.

Dont think Shane has the legs or the reflexes for Margarito at this satge of his life.


Even in his prime Shane would have his work cut out for him due to Margarito's relentlessnes and also his hight would be a nightmare for Shane.

I think Mosley has a good chance to win this actually.. He can brawl with the best of them, and those clubbing right hands will do their damage.. we already know they will land after seeing Cotto fire at will, even though Mosley isn't as fast, let's face it, Tony's D isn't that great.. This will be a BATTLE, and for some reason i see the Vet Mosley taking it..

I like Margarito but he can be out boxed and Shane could out box him as long as his old legs don't pack up on him i don't know who i will be rooting for yet im split 50/50.

Mosley is class.I favor Tony here in a grueling long fight.I think Mosley's moxie will get the better of him,sort of like he did vs.Mayorga.He found him so easy to hit that he got away from boxing....which I think he can still do well....and was loading up.Margarito is an entirly different animal.I think he push's Mosley's stamina to the limit and should go for the body...Shane has a quality chin.Not a wreckless puncher as some suggest,sheer volume and varied selection carries him through.Should be an outstanding fight.

[Pugilistic]

Margarito will win this in my mind no doubt.

He might even get a stoppage win.

Nope... mosley retreating is not possible.
He's always been a brawler.

Right, that is my point, I think the key to beating Margarito is moving around the ring and using your jab. Standing and trading with him hasn't worked. My point is that Mosley can't/won't employ that strategy and I don't see him hurting Margarito.

I see.
Margi has god awful defense though.. so Margi will land atleast.
I just can't wait to see what happends.. I know no matter what this is going to be a great fight. I just hope Mosley can pull it off man.
