Pacquiao vs. Mosley - Fight Night talk!

[Manju]

The fight was actaully very entertaining after Mosely's non-KD in the 10th.

Pac then went all-out for the KO and this provided some manufactured drama. It wasn't real drama, like SRL chasing Hearns while behind on all scorcards, but Pac at least had a purpose. Mosley certainly proceeded to Usain Bolt all over the place, but Pac reached him at times.

Pac deserves credit for taking that risk. Moselyu may be old but power is last to go. So that is danger. Frankly, he took risks earlier in the fight. I mean, he alomst KOed Mosely, who has never been stopped and on top of that was runnning since round 1. Thats no small feat. In the last 3 rounds he just picked up the pace.

The tight leg sounds real and explains why Pac looked a littel off. He wasn't as rythmic and appeared to resort back to a straigthforward approach, dropping his more unorthodox angles and movement. But at the end of the day he dominated a HOFer, Kded him, and came close to KOing. Thats a hell of an off-night.

The 10th round was also the highlight of the fight for me too.

Pacquiao got so pissed off with the bad KD call... and Mosely knew it was a shitty call too! lmfao.

Man, all of this hating on Mosely is unpleasent to watch. I think many of you are exaggerating. There are other recently past fights where we got to witness much better examples of not trying by fighters who were not already nearly 40 years old.

Let's see... Audley Harrison.... Kevin Johnson... stuff like that.

But in this case, people have said it again and again before this fight regarding Mosley's performance against Mayweather and Mora.
Obviously many of you are just disappointed that Pac did not get the KO/TKO for which you had been hoping.

As for me, I'm perfectly ok with seeing Shane, tossed to the lion, make it out without serious damage in a fight hardly anyone figured he would win anyway.

Against Mayweather, Mosley landed 92 of 452 and against Pacquiao he landed 66 of 330. Quite comparable actually. Horrible showing in both cases. Against Mosley, Mayweather landed 208 of 477 and Pacquiao landed 244 of 727.

Can't beleive Shane was that inactive against Floyd from memory but he was coasting against Manny.

[Rantcatrat]

Shane didn't let his hands go against Floyd but he ran in fear from Pacquiao (and as a result he didn't throw either). That was the difference in Shane's performance in the two fights.

See I think he COULDN'T let them go. Frozen hands, the mark of a shot fighter.

Of course my guess is worth exactly what you paid for it.

[Mr140]

Are you guys being serious the man fucking 40 and has not won a fight in fucking 2 years. I mean they made this fight with a shot Mosley and Pac could not put him away. Pac to me seems to be slowing and i think Mayweather might come out of retirement after that shit showing.
