That round 2...

[JazMerkin]

It was a really good fight. I thought Shane really landed twice with shots that would have finished a lesser fighter. The right he caught Floyd with later on was just as good a punch as the left hook that wrecked Mayorga. Floys was definitely hurt (and didnt try to deny it at the post fight interview)

The crux of the fight, I thought, was that Shane just couldnt belive the speed and accuracy of Floyd's counterpunching. When you are fighting a guy that punishes you every time you make a tiny mistake, you get nervous pulling the trigger. Shane resorted to over-feinting to try and get a reaction from Floyd, but his reflexes were uncanny and Shane ended up stiff and awkward (who would have ever thought that?) He ran out of gas because of that and was in survival mode from the 8th onward.

This. Shane wasn't old and I picked him to win before the fight (although my initial instinct was a close PBF decision), but he was not shot. He was just confused and beaten by the better man on the night.

Mayweather didn't pretend that he wasn't hurt, he said he was, but what he showed in that round was the great heart he displayed in plenty of other fights (albeit at lower weights where no doubt his haters never saw him fight), to come back and actually win the end of the round having taken the kind of shots that levelled Vargas, Mayorga and Margarito and had Cotto playing run-away at the end of their fight. He had really sat down on both of them, and not only did Floyd stay standing he came back to batter him, and were it not for the face Mosley has probably the best chin and one of the best hearts in the sport, he would almost certainly have gone.

have you ever gone out running one day when you're feeling fine and its a nice sunny day and you ate your wheaties. Your mind is totally up for the task but all of a sudden you hit a wall, now you know you can go faster because you've done it before but for some reason the body just isn't responding. That's what happened to Shane. Had nothing to do with floyd because he didn't do anything to cause it he just exploited it. This "it" whatever it was just zapped shane of everything after the 2 round he looked gassed and spent the rest of the fight searching for his energy.

give me a fucking break, everytime shane tried to get off he was either countered or beaten to the punch thats why he looked lost, he couldn't get anything off.

Also Mayweather was stunned, but not that badly. People making way too big of a deal out of this. IMO Corley stunned him just as badly, but Oscar who hit Floyd flush with a left hook at the end of their fight didn't even phase Floyd. Sure Floyd covered up, but once that barrage was done Floyd adapted like he did against Judah and dominated.

What fight did you watch? That fight was filled with faints... (I'm going to hit you and then, nothing by mouth like school kids in the playground but old) it was nearing the point of being pathetic. Not that far off from Jones/Hopkins.

The fight I went to. Mayweather did far more than Hopkins did against Jones and he landed way more effective punches than he even did against Juan Manuel Marquez. Floyd really gave a beating to Mosley and him a lot of times with punches that looked like they bothered Mosley.

Floyd nearly went down after the second big shot, just managed to gather himself before his legs gave way. Unreal heart though, I couldn't believe he started firing back at Mosley while he was backed up against the ropes and hurt. Fair play to him, I think he crushed Shane's spirit by coming out so aggressive in the 3rd round.

Fuck, I never noticed how bad that 2nd shot was, it was right clean on the temple, how did he stay up from that?

[Spicoli]

Thats all Ive seen of the fight.Guess I need to get up to speed.What do you know,Floyds human after all.

Thought Mosley should just aim for his temple as he comes wide but suprised that was that clean.All credit to Mayweather for soaking it up...he was shook and stepping off curbs that didnt exist for a minute.Mosley should have jumped him but not sure it would have mattered really.

You have your head so far up floyd's ass you have nothing but shit coming out of your pores. Everything you say is Floyd is god this and that...Maybe you can go watch the fight in slow motion, jerk off to floyd and ellerbe in the corner, then maybe once you get the baby batter off your brain you can see that shane was gassed before floyd started to do anything of significance..

superb conditioning and underated toughness.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

he was hurt more by the 2nd shot and didn't deny it (nor confirm it ) in the interview but jesus, Shane looked like he'd shot his load at the end of the round and never recovered. It takes nothing away from Floyd he held on, got through it adjusted and took back control of the fight.

That couldn't be more right lol.

After having a great second round, everything went down hill for Mosley and he lost the last 10 rounds clearly.

Props to Floyd for taking control of the fight after the tough 2nd round/

I don't think Mosley was tired that early to be honest, he may of been but give Floyd his props.

Alot of fighters would of folded under those shots, or would of at least took a few rounds to get going again but not Floyd.

He took it to Shane in the 3rd and it shocked him imo.

Mosley almost had him, if only he could have stepped back and avoided the constant grappling from Floyd and let the hands really go. Ah well, wasn't to be.

You have to give credit to Floyd for that. He took them and came right back, he never looked to get away, he walked straight back towards Shane and fired back at him. I was just watching the replay, and you could actually see the shock on Shane's face when he was punching him back in the last 30 seconds of that round.
