Mosley needs to start strong in this one. He started way too slowly against Cotto and Mayorga and it was only when Cotto started to gas that Mosley really began to impose himself in that one. I think the first 4 rounds are crucial. Mosley can get disheartened if things are not going his way, so he really needs a good start here. Floyd is a slow starter himself so I don't think it is an unreasonble expectation and it will lead to a very interesting fight as the rounds build up.

Mosley really needs to use his reach advantage in this one and use the jab better than he has in the past. There is no point just rushing in with the hooks because we know Floyd will be able to pick them off or avoid them. Mosley was able to use the jab quite well against Margarito, but Margarito is a whole different ball game. Later on Mosley can take more risks with the wild hooks as Floyd will hopefully need to open up more himself by then, but I really think he needs to be careful early on and just make sure that he banks some rounds because it is most likely going to the cards. A good effective jab and combinations off of that is the way to do it. It's not too hard to be busier than Floyd so he really needs to hustle those early rounds and make it his fight.
