Sergio Mora v. Shane Mosley

[JazMerkin]

Talking of which compubox numbers apparently had connects at 161-93 in Mosley's favour, granted if that was a late-round flurry I'd understand, but from what I've seen said elsewhere that was consistent throughout the fight. I usually don't draw on them too much, because they tell the story of the fight, not the individual rounds scoring, but that's an awfully high differential

Fightnews has a poll up and most people seem to feel Mora won the fight.

Horrible fight......even worse decision. I'm more and more starting to understand the appeal of mma. Thank god football season is here. Boxing get's more and more less appealing as the days go by

After some quick searching and reading, this fight really reminds me of Froch - Dirrell in that people seem pretty divided over the outcome. Some people think Mora was robbed, some think Mosley edged it, but almost everyone agree it was a horrible fight.

I was going to watch the fight today but after sifting through 18 pages of the evenings RNR this was the final nail in the coffin. Froch - Dirrell was terrible and there's no way I'll be putting myself through this snore-fest. Happy to read how it went on here and even happier to skip this one now...

Seems like Shane Mora fight was dog shit, maybe Golden Boy will push for Alvarez v Shane? One last hurrah for Mosley at 147?

Who'd you have winning?

Well look at the bright side guys. We have Marquez-Katsidis to look forward to, Khan-Maidana about a week after that, Pac-Margarito in early November, Lopez-Marquez also in early November, etc.

So all is not lost.

It's not like anyone was expecting this to be FOTY anyway. Yeah, patchy fight with Mora spoiling for a lot of it. Lot's of good stuff on the horizon.

Disappointing fight and disapointing outcome. I thought Shane was chasing most of the fight and Nazim was lining up the excuses in the corner making sure the mic heard him say " I got you in shape Shane I know you can do better " but tactically wasnt giving Mosley great advice on how to cut off the ring against a runner.

Thats all Mora did really. He never once tried to stamp his authority on the fight. I was susrprised to hear the punchstats that Shane was outlanding Mora 2 to 1 cuz to me it looked like Shane was the more frustrated whilst Mora was happy to keep running. If they are true then Shane was clearly robbed. Not only did he outland Mora by a massive margin but he went forward for every minute of every round whilst Sergio backed off all night. In that aspect it was a robbery but for some reason commentary thought it was a landslide for Mora. Merchant thought Shane should have won so it depends what you like. Either way Shane should not have been fighting a middleweight. He has always taken the wrong fights at the wrong time at the wrong weight and for the wrong reasons. He has proven he is a warrior. Now its time to be smart.
