It was fixed

[JonesJrMayweather]

To reply to the title I just don't know. I did feel it was a bit funny that Shane Mosley who usually is well known for getting his man out of there quickly when they are hurt and for finishing very strong down the stretch couldn't do either. I mean I have never seen Mayweather get hit like that. His legs completely gone and him simply being out of it for well over a half a round. Then for him to sweep every single round after that? What the hell happened to Mosley ? He didn't get hit with anything to not make him think twice about coming in for the kill. He simply held on to Mayweather after he tagged him almost like he was holding him up and then his excuse was "I tightened up". Larry Merchant said "Shane you have been fighting for sixteen years and you tightened up?".

When I watched it the first time I seen Shane lackadazicul and out of gas in about the fourth round. Mouth wide open and slouched in his corner. The only thing that came to my mind was them damn blood tests and surprise UT's. I kept wrapping my mind around it.How the hell could someone who was so good at getting his man out of there just suddenly give up. So I asked a few people what they thought about the fight. Granted these are not the brilliant Saddo posters but fighters. When I asked these 3 people. They all said the same thing. "This fight seemed funny probably fixed". Truth is I don't know myself but when millions of dollars are at stake and the potential all-time grossing fight is waiting in the background one could just never know. I would never rule out a fix.

You can't state these obvious facts because it means you're not giving floyd credit and you have to give him credit because he's been crying about not getting credit.

Shane looked as tired as Roy Jones in the first tarver fight and it was before Floyd did anything of significance...

The fact that even after the second big blow and the ref broke them, Floyd stumbled across the ring and Shane didn't finish him? I was convinced then that he was too tired to even throw punches and possibly overtrained, which is when I knew the fight was over....I stood up and said "he's about to lose ten rounds in a row.."

Yeah, well... I paid for the fight and watched it. The fix was in. Some of you need to calm down. People are entitled to their opponions. This fight was fixed plain and simple. You all want to kick me off the forum too?

Honestly Pride, Why do you say that...

I say that due to me thinking it. Look, I'm not going to argue the point nor was I going to start a thread about it because I'm just going to get cut to ribbons and I don't care to argue a point I can't prove... I also don't care to argue against a others' points I can't prove... but it seemed blatantly apparent to me the other night. Shane caught Floyd with a buck deisel shot and feinted for the rest of the fight. Fought with presure for two rounds and gave the rest to Mayweather barring a few decent shots. It was all a big show to me. It's becoming more and more irritating as time goes on. Feel free to cut me up now, but know I don't care to argue the point because none of you are going to change my mind. The fix was in on Saturday night.

You really shouldn't be giving these kind of radical "fight was fixed" opinions if you didn't see the fight. Pretty irresponsible. Enough said.

So if it was fixed, why not give Mosely a more active role? Maybe he could landed some other well placed shots later on. If the ultimate result was to let Mayweather win, then what was the purpose of Mosely coming so close to possible victory in the 2nd which would have upset the whole "fix"? It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Maybe Mosely had his glory/fortune moment at that one point and afterward it had simply passed.

That's why Mosley never got any closer after round 2 cuz he nearly KOd him "by mistake" IMO. Whatever. It's a moot point.

So after the 1st well landed Mosely punch, why was Mosely on Mayweather as quickly as he could get over there to try for the finish?? If he wanted Mayweather to win he wouldnt try for the finish.. and try he did.

But opinions have to be based on as much logic as possible or else they may become detached from reality. The events that occured in the fight happened for a reason. One cannot ignore that which doesn't fit the hypothesis.

For your part, you could say "Maybe Mosley forgot the script for a moment. Lost in the instant, he tried to go for the kill."

Just so you know POB, my above post was aimed at the OP, not you. While I completely disagree with your opinion, at least you watched the fight to form it.

I got that...

I understand why some would be pissed.

In fact, I'd be pissed because I hate the inclination that money weighs a fight to one side and I really hope I'm wrong. We'll never know, though.

I think that Mosley went in to land a solid punch and caught him a bit too hard and then made it look good and let off the gas for the rest of the fight.

Just an oppinion. I even dispise the fact that it's in my head but I'm just being honest. Feinting and allowing Mayweather is for the rest of the fight was ridiculous.

I have, nor will I ever take away from Floyd's gifts. I, in fact, though not a fan, never dog him.

But my oppinion is my own to have.
