~ SSM vs. Margartio ~ Let's talk here!

[killersheep]

Surprised there's no thread about this.. at time of posting.

Anyone think Mosley can win? I don't.

If the same Mosley turns up that fought Mayorga last time, then I think he'll definitely be stopped late-ish.. probably by the corner.

Thoughts?

I don't really think Shane Mosley has much of a chance in this one, i thought he looked half asleep for majority of the Ricardo Mayorga fight. He isn't a pure boxer he doesn't use his footwork much, so i don't think he can outbox Antonio Margarito.

Shane Mosley has always been a boxer/puncher i've seen quite alot of his fights, and as i've said before i've never really seen him outbox a fighter using his technical skills/boxing skills. He normally overwhelms opponents with his speed/power/stamina ETC.

Plus Shane Mosley's output lately has been way low so i think he's gonna find it hard. To keep Antonio Margarito off him and i don't think Shane Mosley, really hits that hard at Welterweight.

I think Shane Mosley might get a bit of pasting in this one, i think he will survive 12 rounds because he's a warrior and tough as nails. But overall i see him just getting outworked and losing a UD, he may have some success counter punching like he did at times with Ricardo Mayorga.

But lets be honest if someone as limited as Ricardo Mayorga was able to close the distance. And give Shane Mosley a tough fight, it doesn't bode well for his next fight against someone tougher, and even more physical than Ricardo Mayorga, with a higher output and a better array of punches.

That is the key there, even if Shane toughs it out til the end no way does it look like he's doing more in the judges eyes. I wouldn't be suprised if Margarito averages four times as many landed and thrown punches per round over Mosley.
