    Credit for a post like that especially considering how big a fan of his you are, a lot of other fans of fighters could take note. I'm a Mosley fan, he was the boxer who I first liked as a kid, & he was fantastic last night, but I was so convinced that the only way for him to beat Margarito was to keep dancing away from him that I spent the first 7 rounds screaming not to trade. I have to say the shots that Margarito took last night, any other guy I would have been wondering how he was staying up, but I was still disbelieving when Margarito went down, I was in shock for about an hour after the fight. I still think Margarito has enough to beat Cotto purely because he's done it once before & that will bolster him, although I fear both are now done at the top level after having their own fight beat them respectively. I'm still not completely convinced about the hand-wrap issue, purely because of how both he & Mosley were with each other both during & after the fight. I'm hoping it turns out to be false. Fantastic fight nevertheless

    I had my company book a suite at the Staples center, just so I could witness this grand event first hand. we got there early to watch all the fights. Guerrero looks pretty impressive! 1st round KO. Mat Olevay (Russian fighter) looked really good.

    From the opening bell for the main event something was wrong, Tony was not firing shots, he was moving to slow. I wrote it off and said well lets wait till the 6th, thats when he gets started. Although, I also noticed that he was taking big big shots, while he kept on smiling in the early parts of the fight the difference was that he wasnt going forward, he was getting stopped by the shots and was not firing back. Mosley didnt seem to be moving around alot so the chances of him tiring out didnt look too good.

    When the end came I was stunned, while I had reserved a prediction on this fight because I knew that it could happen, Mosley is a great fighter with alot of experiance so I knew that could ultimately lead to a decision victory, the manner in which it happened is what left me feeling like crap. I had a feeling that Mosley would be tougher fight than Cotto, Cotto showed everyone what you have to do to beat Margarito and Mosley's experiance let him execute the plan flawlessly.

    My disappointment was double when I got home, allegations of cheating. No excuse for Margarito. I can understand why after many years of obscurity he wanted to make sure he got the win against anyone who this happened against, but its still unexcusable. I take back every compliment about his punching power I ever made.

    The only thing that I will never take away from Margarito is his heart. While cheating is a dispicable act, it was brought on by a misplaced determination to win, and no amount of plaster, cement, or iron that was placed in his gloves made any difference when it came to the shots he took on the chin by the likes of Cotto, Cintron, and now Mosley.
    i completely disagree, the way cotto and mosley fought tony are very different. Cotto back up and tried to stay away but mosley bullied the bull.

    None credit goes to cotto at all this is all shane mosley. cotto's punches didn't hurt tony but shanes punches completely took him a apart.
