Sergio Mora v. Shane Mosley

[Rantcatrat]

Mora beating Forrest was one of the more flukey things to happen in boxing recently and it wasn't even that Mora looked very good, Forrest was just that bad. The rematch went how the first should have gone. Mora is not that good of a fighter. He has this reputation of being 'slick' but that's such bullshit. Watch Mora's last fight, he had to dig real deep to win that one and it was against a club guy with like 5 losses. The dude tired out against him. Forrest just didn't want to work for that fight and Mora used his feet, that's all he did.

Shane is faster then Forrest or Mora, he won't have any sort of weight issues and Mora. Mora isn't top 10 at this weight. This guy lost to Peter Fucken Manfredo and he hasn't fought but one fight in 2 years. He's got this fight because he fought a smart fight against a Forrest who barely even showed up. I'm all for giving a guy credit when he wins but go back in that fight and all Mora did was make Forrest miss with the jab and there was absolutely nothing following it up. That was 'off night' in boxing typified and in the second fight you could see the separation of class.

He's just not that talented of a fighter and his only advantage will be height, which he doesn't even use. I'll change my name to the Latin Snake if this guy wins, there aren't many sure things in boxing but in my mind this is one of them.

And again, there is no way he's top 10 at 154. Sergei, Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Angulo, Mosley, Foreman, Vanes and a few more all beat Mora comfortably imo. That's even if he's active, which he's not even close to being.

I mean I'm not saying I disagree with you all that much, maybe just to the extent you think Mora is a bad fighter. Shane should be favored, of course. I guess my main point is that Shane does better against pressure fighters and Mora isn't that. Mora can fight at middleweight though. He'll probably walk in 15 pounds heavier than Shane (Don't also forget that he dodged Jermain Taylor although that was probably a smart move). The betting line isn't that far apart either right now albeit clearly favoring Shane. Shane loses here though and that spells trouble for his career.

Where's Diane to defend him?

SSM's gonna maul Mora.

Too much experience and just a well seasoned boxer who can still mix it up with the young guns..

More than anything else this is finally a fight where we can see if mora is a real fighter or is the contender show sticking us with just another so so fighter. Just a couple of months ago like every other fighter floyd has ever faced everyone thought shane was the man and capable of beating the guy and i still kinda think shane is on the same level he was before that fight. I still think the margacheato fight meant nothing and the dude that damn near lost to mayorga is the guy i expect to show up saturday. I know there are some mora fans on here so i hate to give my opinon (although i'm only on a one fight prediciton streak) but i think even that form of mosely will beat able to beat down mora. I mean it's sergio mora....if i'm wrong i'll give him his props and be glad for yall that like him. But i don't think so. I don't think anyone is watching this ppv for that fight though it's the undercard that's important. I see vic ortiz ko'ing harris, and redhead beating baldomir.

Shane should outpoint Mora.

[Rantcatrat]

Mora couldn't make weight and if fined 20% of his purse.

Sergio Mora three pounds over weight limit for bout against Sugar Shane Mosley - ESPN Los Angeles

Was it me or did he look a little drained at the weigh in?

[Master]

Shane will batter his body and probably stop him now.

[Spicoli]

Hate it. Can't really explain it. I cant get away from it but cant lie. I have that feeling...the throw up in my mouth feeling and its not even night yet. I think and see Mora-of-less Sergio just out tap dancing and moving Mosley for dec 12 .Want and hope to be wrong...its just that horrible hunch. Size,momentum and not afraid to stink out the arena style moving and slapping for Mora-of-less.

If Harris gets injured given recent history heads should roll legally...maybe beginning with his camp.

Did they agree to 157 + and penalty or did he shed it ?? Read two diffrent things two threads?

[HattonTheHammer]

an absolute no brainer

mosley will smash him in 6, will be getting up for this because of my love for sugar and the fact this is an absolute gimme for one of the best 147/154pounders of this generation

[fan johnny]

Even though Mosley is old.... the skill difference will be overly apparent in this fight but not as bad as watch old George Forman do away with the young'ns.

[rjj tszyu]

Shane will take this via some kind of KO!

[killersheep]

Should we get a sticky on this?

Should we get a sticky on this?

Come on mate, we all love Shane but no way I am getting Sticky over this fight.

[Kev]

has the HBO broadcast started yet? Killer said the undercard was already underway?

[CFH]

Should we get a sticky on this?

Let no one say I am not a man of the people.

[:::PSL:::]

I heard the fight only generated 100,000 ppv buy.

Is this true?
