[OumaFan]

I didn't even give the 7th to Margo, granted like Lampley said he did better in comparison but I don't think he won the round.

So where are those people who insist on saying SSM can't box...
Those who insist on saying SSM has no power...
SSM has no footwork...

I keep reading those comments time and time again. I read them sometime ago and I keep reading them everytime SSM fights.
I personally have always felt SSM got power hes always shown it.
I also feel he's a good boxer, he might not be a technician in the ring but this performance clearly shows that with experience you can do it.

He boxed brilliant, his shots were vicious and he used great footwork.
Using up the entire ring.


Margarito,
Echele ganas cabron y no se desanime.
Pa' delante y con la cabeza en alto porque no tienes nada de que avergonzar. SSM fue mejor que tu esa noche asi como tu lo fuistes contra Cotto.

You can NEVER count an old Lion out...

I give Mosley a chance to win here... slim one but a chance all the same!

I'm with you on this one.

You can NEVER count on old Lion out like SSM.
The guy has taken good care of himself and he's always in shape to fight
(Please don't give me the .2 lb talk OK it's .2 not 20.00 )

I think fighters like him always have a chance because they've seen it all.
Lost to Vernon cameback and won, lost to Winkus cameback and won.

Fucken Shane man...
I sware I got love for Margarito but when you see a performance like that from an ATG you just can't help it but smile.
He fought the perfect fight and just made the fight go his way from round 1 'til the end. Without ever losing sight of the task that was at hand.

Let's hear it one time for the Old Lion "SSM"...

[DaxxKahn]

Shane is certainly the man of the hour...Really what can you say but good for him...He came back when all practically wrote him off...

VD called it last night when he said don't be surprisewd if we see a Hopkins like performance.....

Too Bad Danny G can't be as good a sport about it like everyone else including Margarito fans..

Instead he makes up threads about Cotto being cheated...then a fake screen name to go along with everything he said...the sends me things in my PM, Profile and rep comments about being a bitch...Callling me a C***...talking about Lewis being a B**** and other things...

Ruins the sport and the want to post

You made me learn a new spanish expression - I had to look up "echele ganas." Good expression to know, and very true sentiments for Tony. Dust yourself off and come back better.

Well, I have to say, as a Margarito fan, I was absolutely stunned speechless last night. I had a suspicion that Shane might pull a decision, but never did I imagine this outcome. Hats off the Shane, that was a performance of a lifetime. Let's be fair though, to those saying that Margarito's chin was exposed, give me a break, he still showed that chin in eating huge shots for 8 rounds, it just finally caught up with him. No one is invincible, but I bet any other fighter would have been out of there long before that. I also find it funny how so many jumped on Tony's bandwagon after the cotto fight, now that he lost, it's all "he never was shit." I was a Tony fan before this, and remain one now, despite my disappointment.

As for the handwraps thing, this is indeed troubling and if true, I have indeed lost some respect. I just have to say though to those questioning his other wins, of course this brings him into doubt but let's put it in perspective. At least in theory, don't they have someone checking the fighters wraps before EVERY fight? If so, i find it hard to believe that he could get away with this on a regular basis. I see no reason to suggest that this was a factor in the Cotto fight either. Let's face it, Cotto doesn't have the best chin in the world, and Tony hit him with a lot of shots, much more than he did Mosley, so I see no reason to suspect that anything other than Tony's natural punches beat Cotto. It could be, and I'm not defending the move, that margarito tried it against Shane because he knows that Shane has such a good chin. of course this doesn't make it right, but there is a certain logic to it.

Man i got tell i been watching Shane Mosley my whole life and i am glad he won i just had the feeling that this was a bad fight for Margarito because you cant break Mosley in the way he wanted to do it the sad part is that Teath although i like some of what he says can give Shane Mosley any credit and thats what pisses me off the most about that shit and Danny G making all these exuses for Cotto they are not sure about the wraps yet and also Cotto could not hurt Margarito and also he has a stamina problems so i really dont get why Danny is complaining all and all Shane Mosley showed why he has the name Sugar and his domination of Margarito was one of the best performances i have ever seenn in while.

[DaxxKahn]

I can not say I was so much surprised that Shane won because truth be told it is not like Shane has been beat down lately and just came back from the grave....Mosley has always been in top shape and to my recall other then Forrest when Forrest was DAMN! good he has neverhit the canvas.....So the chin was always there...

I did though think he would be worn out by trading with Tony and end up on the bad end of some punsihment.....Losing via UD

Yet there was always the thought of him outboxing Tony...Scoring with the trademark Mosley quick flurries in and out and getting the decision himself....

The thought of Margarito being knocked out by anyone at this point let alone Mosley at 37 nevber entered my mind once....

I was shocked on that one.....

I did say though in the beginning that I would be rooting for Shane over anyone but Margarito....So I am not too disappointed that Tony lost

[leftylee]

Shane's speed was the main difference. What a fight. I never thought I would witness Margarito being put down again, not least twice So much for the iron chin. But yeah....Shane was awesome. Huge probs to him. Maragrito has always been one dimensional (I've said this before), I just didnt think Mosely could exploit him like that. He won every round on my card. What a performance.

[boozeboxer]

Man I think this is great for the sport to have someone as marketable as Shane to have such a good performance. He is a superstar, like Jones, but also the real deal still!

This division is so tough! And it just keeps getting better. I think I know the rankings and how the chips are going to fall and someone stuns me in another great welterweight fight!

[THE THIRD MAN]

Correct me if i'm wrong here but what i noticed most in this fight was Margarito on returning to his corner at the end of round 1 looked shot!
Have a look at the end of Round one with the close up on Margarito, he definitely wanted to be somewhere else other than in the same ring as Suger Shane Mosley who bullied the bully the whole fight.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

That's because mosley hurt him in the opening round. Margarito hardly threw a body punch in the first half of the fight because mosley's hard punches took away most of his steam.

I'll put it down to that then, never have i seen a champion have the look of defeat on his face so early as i saw Margarito against Mosley.
Shane Mosley you are a deadset legend! Now call out that sucker Mayweather or get back into with Cotto!!

[Mr140]

Man i love Shane he is what a fighter should be i mean when he lost to Forrest he did not take a soft oppent he jump right back in there and then he fights a guy in Wright who is way bigger and pound for pound 10 guy in his own right and even when he lost he come back right at the guy. Cotto loses and takes on a Jennings i dont remeber Mosley ever doing that and thats what is amazing about the man and after his dismantling of Margarito the next guy while proably be even tougher challange.
