Pacquiao vs. Mosley - Fight Night talk!

[DaxxKahn]

just broke down and bought it, my neighboor drinks beer so he bought a 12pk of Tecate so I can get back $25...So I guess $30 for the card is not too bad

[CFH]

Is Nahr any good?

"Sugar Ray"? Fuck off.

[Gandalf]

Alvarado just looks too much to me so far. Not a great fight so far.

[Gandalf]

Why did Narh even turn up? That was pathetic.

Stupid.

[Spicoli]

I'm going with Mosley tko. I'm sober. Just stuck on styles, no backfoot of Floyd and no huggy & clingy kittens in the chest like Mora I think he can drop and buzz Manny and Manny will only know to war back. For the record picked Cotto and Barrera to upend him too Maybe stuck on a little nostalgia also Seems to be a ripe year for upsets.

"Sugar Ray"? Fuck off.

Very weak resume...Was picked because the resume looks good on paper...Best win is over a 41 year old Freddie Norwood....BUT he just QUIT TARVER SAID IT DON'T PAY THIS GUY!!This was an opp to showcase yourself win or lose on the undercard of the biggest fight of 2011

Pacquiao vs. Mosely match finished with Manny's big winning.
Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao continued his dominance over the boxing world Saturday night, easily outpointing Shane 'Sugar' Mosley and retaining his WBO welterweight championship in a unanimous decision victory. Pacquiao won on scores of 119-108, 120-108, and 120-107, as Mosley retreated and simply couldn’t generate anything offensively.

Great job Pacquiao.

Well if you look at my thread pre fight you would see why Mosley never had a chance in this fight. Shane made $5mil and established a promo company, he was never going to be a force in the fight.

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.
