Rewatching Mosley vs Margarito on HBO

[armin]

Well it made perfect sense against margarito, throw your fast combos and then hold so marg can't really come back with much...I don't think he'll fight anything like that against mayweather because as you said it wouldn't make any sense at all...

You have to wonder if at 38/39 Mosley still has the legs to fight 12 hard rounds. He does seem to engage in the clinch more in recent fights. I was watching the Cotto fight earlier and though it was Mosley coming on down the stretch, he sure did look somewhat gassed throughout a lot of the fight. That was a very close fight IMO.

I agree, he must bank rounds in the first half of the fight otherwise he will be in trouble.

I just watched Mosley/Margarito again and it was a nice performance from Mosley. He was very measured and calm, could probably have gone 15 if he wanted to. No, I don't have any worries about him going 12 rounds hard. The Cotto fight was a strange one.

Holding mayweather would be effective because shane's stronger and will bully him...Castillo did it to perfection in the first fight.
