On January 24 at the Staples Center in California, Shane Mosley will make what may be his last stand against the number one welterweight in the sport, WBA champion Antonio Margarito. Margarito has the size and power, and Mosley has the speed and experience. Margarito has been training around the clock in Montebello, California. He views Mosley as a very tough fight and will not make any mistakes by head-hunting. [details]

If Marg can get to SSM's body in the 1st 4 rds, the fight ain't goin past 9. Attackin the body is smart against SSM cuz he got a sick chin of his own. -
Going to the body is a smart move from any fighter really but Margarito's defensive flaws will still be there and if Mosley can keep up his movement, Margarito may not be able to go to the body, Mosley neutralized Cotto's body attack quite well.Comment

To me honestly this is a toss up!!!Comment

I've gotta say Shane is a lot more durable than Cotto. Hopefully Marg gets the KO if not it'll be a close decision.Comment

I'm not talking about the result of the fight, which was really close, but Cotto couldn't get to Mosley's body all night, Cotto showed his versatility by outjabbing Mosley when he couldn't get to the body, I wonder if Margarito can switch it up like Cotto did.Originally posted by pistol whip View PostComment

Margarito is a lot more intense. He's in your face all throughout the fight. He'll find openings to Shane's body. What worries me is Shane's durability. Like a Clottey almost.Originally posted by Silencers View PostComment

Yes, he is, but movement can counter that intense pressure, I'm picking Margarito to win but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mosley pulls this out, styles make fights.Originally posted by EL HANDSOME View PostComment
