Paul Williams Says Shane Mosley Must Be Smart To Win

[Spicoli]

Well Ive officially worn a path in the living room carpet pacing and waiting for the opening Bell

Shane is pretty flat footed.Bottom line.....he will not win this moving and boxing all night.I dont think hes able to any longer and I dont think its his mindset.I think within 3 rounds there will be fire works and Shane Must 'fight' Tony in spots,turn him in close and work that body,keep him honest and off balance or Tony will steamroll him.Margarito does nothing But get stronger and better as the rounds mount......and yes,Mosley should steel himself and be prepared to take some hits in return.VIVA MARGARITO

Well if you cant beat the chin, take to the temple; jab on the move just for measure and counter hook and cross as he comes for it about the only hope to slow up someone like that.
Shanes got a chance early if he catches him comming forwards right on target off some of his early angles.
I doubt it'll happen, but be great to see.
Go Shane.

I think if Shane wants to beat Margarito he's going to need to find a way to get some concrete in his gloves, literally.

Its funny that Margarito is the one who tried to pull that off. And Mosley didnt even need any concrete to ko Tony. So much for tonys granite chin

He moved and boxed 12 rounds against Mayorga. He isn't that flat footed, he is just doesn't have smooth footwork and thats why Cotto and others were able to catch him. I mean he doesn't need to move a whole lot, but when he isn't moving he has to be punching or tying Marg up. Also if he can keep off the ropes, Margarito is terrible at throwing punches at range, he needs to be on the inside, if Mosley can keep the distance I think he is still fast enough and good enough defensively not to get hit by huge punches.

Also Magarito has a weak body, and maybe Mosley can hurt him downstairs.

Sorry bro but I didn't see him pulling no vintage boxing display with Mayorga .He was loading up,making a statement and standing in with Mayorga.He was fighting Mayorgas elbows,head and shoulders as well as his fist lol.Shane needs to get inside of Tonys range,hard rights when Tony paws that jab out and launching long uppercuts.I dont know if he has the legs to dart in and be walked around in the clinches,Call me nuts but I think he has to jump Tony in spots and early.Wouldnt say Tony has a weak body....hes been cracked and dropped there many,many moons ago but he also got up to win.I think both are suseptable to Body damage.I mean...who isn't?

Bro, I just watched the fight, it wasn't shot for shot type fight at all. Mayorga was barely landing anything.

No,not a shot for shot foreman/lyle type affair but Mosley was not putting on a boxing 101 clinic.That was a very ugly fight and Mosley wanted to put hurt on him,he was loading up quite a bit.

He was loading up, but my point is that he wasn't just sticking around to get hit. He was moving a lot, keep out of range.
