Mosley vs. Judah May 31st?

This is a great matchup for Zab. If he somehow pulls of the upset he could possibly put himself back in the welterweight contention. Especially if he wins in dominating fashion. Is this a likely scenario. Hell naw because we all know Zabs mental makeup. Great opportunity for Zab. We all bash Zab about him under acheiving as far as his skill level, but one thing we can't deny is that the dude is putting together an impressive resume as far as fighters he's been in the ring with.Now I'm a little disappointed in Mosley. Why take on this fight? Why not take the Cotto rematch especially the way that fight ended and how close that fight was. Hell I think that there is more intrigue in a Mosley/Cotto 2 fight then a Taylor/Pavlik 2 fight. Not to mention with a victory over Zab what does that do for his career at this current time. Nothing! Just my thoughts. I'll Holla 5000

 

Mosley needs a win though. Otherwise, he'll get screwed in negotiations for a Cotto rematch. By the way, I thought Mosley beat Cotto.

 

All the more reason for the rematch. Now I could see him not taking the rematch had his signed to fight Cotto which I would have bet big bucks was going to happen. But since that fight failed to materalize then he should have taken the rematch. Now when Mosley beats Zab then what? Cotto got gomez and Margarito on the horizon. What does Mosley have? I guess a fight with Paul Williams? To me the rematch makes more sense then any other rematch out there considering how close the first fight was and the way it ended. I'll Holla 5000

 

The last time I looked, Zab was shot. Physically as well as mentally.

In light of this, it's a good fight for both guys.

If Zab somehow manages to sort his head out and put in a good performance, then he'll be able to put himself forward for another people of well paid defeats.

If Shane wins, as he should, then he adds a 'name' to his resume, regains a little lustre after his close defeat last time out, and puts himself back in contention for another shot at a titlist before he bows out.

That said, there are much bigger fights at 147 than this right now. This is a 'filler', and no more...

 

What 7 rounds did Shane win?

 

What FIVE rounds did Mosley win? He lost that fight clearly, IMO.

 

Mosley won 4 rounds....and HE DOESN'T want a rematch agaisnt COTTO...:nono:

 

IMO, Mosley won at least 6 rounds. Cotto was back pedalling the whole last 4 because he gassed and Shane was coming on strong.

 

....

So if a guy is backpeddling he can't win rounds? Cotto won at least 2 of the last 4 rounds.

 

He did the 2007 version of DLH against Tito, so no:nono:

 

sometimes (not always) fights between two guys with blazing hand-speed can be boring and very tactical. i hope that won't be the case here, although i'm not overly worried given how aggressive Mosley is.

 

No, Cotto actually landed punches. Just because a guy who is usually agressive boxes, don't mean he don't win rounds. Cotto won 2 of the last 4 rounds at least. Mosley was getting outlanded a lot even when Cotto boxed. Pure agression without landing punches is not winning rounds. Sorry but comparing Cotto and ODLH is a HORRIBLE comparison. I would say Cotto fought like ODLH in round 12 but not the others.

 

you sound like harold ledderman. did you swallow him whole, fatboy?

 

Only after your mom swallowed something else.

 

Somehow?..:eeeek: ...:nono: ...why he's being snapped up for these fights is precisely my point, extremely low risk - extremely high reward, poles apart and oppurtunistically irrational, thanks to a lil hype generating technique called 'handspeed'... it makes him, the most overrated fighter since Mike Tyson.

Money in the bank. Mosley knows the spaz's routine.... hell everybody does. The spaz has a few good rounds, father of the spaz goes apeshit, the spaz gets a distant look in his eyes and shuts down.

Judah is the best gatekeeper in boxing.

 

Mosely can make a good show of this and make some decent coin. He should call out Cintron or Williams after.opcorn:

 

You've got to be kidding me. In the words of LOK, Shane will pull off Judah's trunks and sodomise him in the ring.

 

Correct. That and the chance that he may give us another rendition of the 5 knuckle shuffle.

 

:bears:

I agree Shane shoudl call out Cintron. That is a fight Shane would win and make some more loot for low risk

 

I agree with this. I had Shane winning 4 rds at the least. Shane fought well but Cotto's much more precise punches made the difference even in those rds were Cotto appeared to be hurt or gassed. It's obvious Shane was surprised by Cotto's tactics. I think Shane was expecting to be in a head to head brawl and underestimated Cotto's speed.

As far as Judah goes, all Shane has to do is walk him down and go after him and Judah will mentally break down again. It's a non-fight really.

 

How about what Zab throws back, can Mosely get out of the way? This will be a better fight than most think.

 

You mean like Zab did against Cotto? Zab panicked and threw some shots out of fear that landed and stunned Cotto. Once Cotto fought back, Zab didn't throw shit the rest of the fight because he was too scared.

I can't imagine what Judah's done to get his confidence back so I expect more of the same from him. Anyway if this fight was going to happen we would have heard it reported somewhere other than the 2 sentence anouncement from fightnews.
