Mosley Wants To Repeat Oscar Magic With Margarito

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

When Shane Mosley challenges Antonio Margarito for the WBA welterweight title on January 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, he plans to repeat the same magic that he showed in 2000 when he decisioned a prime Oscar De La Hoya at the very same venue for the WBC title. [details]

shane sounds overconfident, but im not surprised.

i hope he's fast enough and doesn't tire out or slow down against marg, he can't afford to

[boksingero]

an easy unanimous win by mosley on this one, margarito is an overrated boxer, he was losing against cotto and the only reason he won that match was cotto's glass chin, mosley is not, he can give and take punches from you, maybe mosley couldn't knock him out but he will be well ahead on points against marg.

margarito may be too hard for mosley to handle. but let's see how mosley's "magic" work against a fighter with margarito's skills.

SSM's bravado will make this a fun fight, but it's gonna do him in. I think Marg stops him.

That Magic was 9 years ago Shane. He can't turn back the clock that much.

I cannot believe this is on regular HBO, to be honest I would have paid money for this one. You know Margo is coming forward and Shane is not going to try and dance all night, he is going to try and trade punches with Margo and then hopefully get out of there and box his ears off. Though I've always considered Mosely a brawler rather than a pure boxer.

With the two different styles, I would imagine that either 1. Mosely gets stopped before the 9th round because he elected to trade more than box, 2. Mosely makes it to the decision but he is badly beat up like in the first vernon forrest fight, or 3. Mosley mixes it up, both brawling and boxing with Margo and winning a close to mid decision against Margarito.

With this said, I do not see Mosely stopping Margo, and I hope he thinks he can knock him out, but merely plans on going the distance and hurting him. If he does that maybe he wins the fight, however, I cannout count Margo out, this guy loves getting hit and coming forward, and to be honest, I don't think Mosely has the power at 147 to hurt, nonetheless stop Margo. A great fight is realized January 24th!
