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

For those who say it was vintage Mosely, I say they are wrong. Mosely was better tonight than he has been in the past. He threw more and was much more aggressive until he softened Margie up (which he did unlike anyone I've ever seen.) Good job Shane!

Yes and no. You're right about his jab. I can't remember the last time I saw Mosley use his jab that effectively. It was one of the huge factors tonight. On the other hand. Shane pummeling Tony with right hands, going upstairs and downstairs, and snapping off vicious hooks is vintage Mosley. He brawled in spots (vintage Mosley) and used his feet and clinches to control distance (also vintage Mosley.)

To all those who said Cotto hits harder than Shane...how you like them apples?

Ag6-9reed. Vintage Shane showed up 6-9.

Watch the Cotto-Mosley fight. Cotto was punching off his back foot against Margarito still landed harder shots, but he was beating Margarito up mentally, he wasn't stopping Margarito from landing punches, and he wasn't tiring Margarito out.

Want another example like this
MAyweather-Corrales vs Corrales-Castillo: Castillo landed probably 3x as many punches against Corrales, because Corrales was able to find Castillo it changes your mindset in there. Being able to hit your opponent makes you tougher, it your strength doesn't get sapped as much knowing the other guy is going through what you are. That's why Holyfield could survive against bigger heavyweights, thats why Leonard survived against Duran in their first fight.

Look at Cotto/Margie and look at Mosley/Margie. The size difference is remerkable...in the ring!!
