Margarito vs Mosley

[tdti1]

Live on HBO 01/24/09 10pm eastern time.

A resident of Tijuana, Mexico, Antonio Margarito (37-5, 27 KOs) makes his triumphant return to the ring after the dramatic 11th-round knockout of Miguel Cotto that brought him his second welterweight title last July. Ranked among the sport's most explosive performers, he hopes to maintain his momentum in this 12-round, 147-pound showdown.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley (45-5, 38 KOs), a native of Pomona, Cal., will need all his ring smarts and physical skills to spring the first surprise of the new year. One of the most decorated fighters of the past decade, the veteran is coming off a 12th-round KO of Ricardo Mayorga last September, and has won six of his last seven bouts.

IF Mosley is smart, he will use hi speed to go to the body...because going to the head will do NOTHING as Cotto proved. Cotto landed massive bombs on Margarito that would have normally knocked out any other welterweight. These Mexican box can take a pounding to the head....you have to work to the body.

No body work, no win for Mosley. Simple as that.....

WOW!! Who would have thought that using pressure AGAINST Margarito would be his OWN downfall. BUT, he did goto the body...and I knew you HAD to go to the body to be affective.

What now....Mosley might want to fight Cotto AGAIN to avenge his early loss to him. Or does Mayweather have the balls to come out of "retirement" and fight either Mosley or Cotto?

 

[ripnbigc]

Awesome fight.

When I took this shot at the start of the fight...I was hoping...

Mosley is simply FAST! How can you defend against lightning?

And strong when he drops to the welterweight division. I doubt the coward will come out to fight either, Mosley, Cotto or Margarito.

If the money is right i am sure he would. I really don't think he wants Mosley. Speed kills and mosely might be as fast as Floyd!?
