Let's re-examine Mayweather vs. Mosley for a sec.....

[Cressa121]

I saw a good video that broke down the adjustments Mayweather made after the 2nd round. Mosley hurt Mayweather with the left to the body followed by a right hand to the head, as Mayweather was open to that combination through his normal defensive stance. After Mayweather was hurt, Mosley shot his load trying to follow up and Mayweather landed some sneaky bodyshots to further take the wind out of him. Every time Mosley went for that same left to the body right to the head combination again, Mayweather would counter Mosley's left with a left hook, which stopped Mosley throwing/landing the right hand again. Couple that with Mosley's age (i.e being shot) and that's why he didn't follow up. Nothing really suspicious about it imo.

I hope Mosley does well against Pacquiao, I really don't want to see him take a one sided beating and possibly get stopped. At the minute that's how I see it going, but I would love to be wrong so we get a competitive fight.

I'm glad someone else noticed this. I remember Mosley trying to jab down stairs in round three and getting hit with a three punch combination.

Truth be told, I actually thought Floyd was being cashed in, I mean Floyd was getting punked in his dressing room and his entrance was a disastrous flop. I figured HBO were giving him the cold shoulder

Mayweather also fought inside at times. Throwing Mosley off just a little to make him adjust. Then he jab him for about a while.
Losing to Mayweather, do anyone think that Naz will be a bigger and better factor in this fight against Pacman? It seems to me that Naz wanted Shane's speed to throw Mayweather's speed off. Then it was obvious that he wanted Shane to be more active. But against Pacman, he's going to need a gameplan. And a backup plan! And that's what Naz do. He come up with a gameplan for a victory. Shane also said he didn't listen to Naz. I'd always picked Shane to defeat Pacman. But gave him no chance against Mayweather. Style makes fights.

BTW, for the poster that said Shane hurt Floyd to the body, wrong!!! The idea was to make Floyd drop his hands. The same gameplan Floyd uses on his opponents.

That's actually a great assessment of what happened. Mosley didn't hurt Mayweather to the body, he simply shot a left jab to the body to bring Floyd's guard down (which happened) and then went over the top with a right hand that Floyd wasn't taking too seriously. Floyd actually was wanting to fight that fight and wasn't moving like usual when he got caught. Once Floyd shook off the stun, he recognized that he needed to take Shane seriously as a boxer and corrected his mistakes. Also, great catch on the bodywork. Mayweather put in some SERIOUS bodywork on Shane, it's just that he's not a flashy body puncher like Cotto, he's a very effective and UNDERRATED body puncher. Shane was gassed by the fifth due to his age coupled with the bodywork and he started focusing on his stamina instead of trying to figure out another way in.

I worded the above part of my original post poorly. I didn't mean to suggest the body shot hurt Mayweather, I meant to say what I've emboldened from your post, that the right hand that hurt Mayweather was set up by the left to the body, as it brought his guard down.
