Another boxing history has created as Floyd Mayweather vs. Sugar Shane Mosley Who R U Picking fight ended successfully. Floyd Mayweather maintained his undefeated record and win his 41th win via Unanimous decision. Both fighters were prepared to the opening of the fight. Shane Mosley shock the MGM Grand with his two right-straight to Floyd Mayweather. Fans and everyone was shouting out loud but things favor to Floyd after that round. Floyd Mayweather showed more speed, quickness, boxing play and accuracy punches to Shane Mosley.
The fight was sparked by excitement as these 2 great boxing fighters threw punches to each other during the first few rounds of the game. There was a time where the crowd shouted for Mosley since he aggressively threw punches to Mayweather consecutively. However, excitement slowed down and boredom started to grow during the rest of the game as these two boxing fighters began hugging each other without bringing much action in the boxing ring for their spectators worldwide.
Boxing fans never thought this fight was going to be huge. The reason being was that Shane Mosley, as great as he is, never was a huge PPV draw on his own against other fighters not named Oscar De La Hoya. Shane Mosley did well in his fights against De La Hoya, but he failed to bring in the huge numbers in other fights. There was something missing from him. It didn’t help matters that he was beaten twice by both Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright in the prime of his career.
Those defeats really took a lot of the air out of making Shane Mosley a huge PPV attraction, in my estimation. It obviously wasn’t a good idea on his part to fight rematches with both fighters after being soundly beaten in his first fights with them. Nothing much changed in his rematches, and it now seems like a bad decision on his part to fight them again.
The fans knew the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight wasn’t going to be as popular as that fight, because that bout was talked about for months. There was huge excitement about that fight. It didn’t matter that De La Hoya was seen as on the downside of his career, there was still a lot of interest in that fight going into it. In the case of the Mayweather-Mosley fight, a lot of people saw Mosley as too old, not active enough and not a good enough boxer to beat a skilled fighter like Mayweather.
It turned out to be the exact case, as Mayweather totally dominated Mosley, beating him by an easy 12 round decision. But the lack of excitement about the fight going into it was really telling. Mosley didn’t have anything really special about him to grab onto in recent years.
Floyd Mayweather punched 208 of 477 punches and Shane Mosley has 92 of 452 during the match. Two out of three ringside judges scored it 119-109 and the third had it 118-110 all in favor of Mayweather. Well, not so surprising to see this result as before the fight it was been concluded that Mayweather will won this bout.
