PACQUIAO vs. MOSLEY

** In-Depth Preview and Analysis **

By Tony Penecale

There is an old song in the Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun titled “Anything You Can Do” in which the lyrics go “Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you.” Since 2008, the marquee matchup that everybody wants to see matches two warriors with legitimate claims of being the #1 boxer in the world, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Since negotiations have broken down numerous times between them, they each have participated in the game of trying to outdo the other. Pacquiao destroyed and retired Oscar de la Hoya after Mayweather struggled with him. Mayweather dominated Juan Manuel Marquez, who fought Pacquiao in two close matches. Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton in two rounds, eight less than it took Mayweather.

Now in steps “Sugar” Shane Mosley, once regarded as the best boxer in the sport. Mosley had revitalized his career in January ’09 with an impressive knockout over highly-regarded Antonio Margarito, which he parlayed into a bout with Mayweather. After shaking Mayweather badly in the 2nd round, Mosley was beaten to the punch throughout and ended up losing a unanimous decision. Now Pacquiao is out to prove “Anything you can do, I can do better” as he tries to become the first man to defeat the sure-fire Hall-of-Famer, Mosley, by stoppage. Mosley is out to show the world that he can still pull the rabbit out of his hat and recreate the magic of his prime. We will certainly find out on May 7.

Ring Magazine #1 Rated Pound-4-Pound Boxer (’00-‘02)

STYLE

Pacquiao:

Pacquiao boxes from a southpaw stance, moving forward bobbing and feinting his way in. Once in close, he uses his right hand to find the range and then unleashes his powerful left, either straight or looping, and will often double and triple it to the body and head. Uses quick head shifts to slip punches while moving forward. Has soundly developed under the tutelage of Freddie Roach, developing a decent right hook, either as a lead punch or thrown behind the left. Uses quick head shifts to slip punches while moving forward.

Mosley:

A well-schooled boxer with exceptional speed and power in both hands, Mosley boxes well from the outside, employing a strategy called “power boxing”. Is very effective with combinations and employs a solid body attack when in close. Is adept at controlling the pace, using angles and feints, forcing opponents into mistakes but will sometimes wait too long looking for the perfect shot. Will roll his shoulders and use upper body movement to slip punches and freeze opponents. For most of his career, Mosley was trained by his father, Jack. They have since parted and veteran Philadelphia trainer, Nazim Richardson, most known for his work with Bernard Hopkins, is now manning the reigns in Mosley’s corner.

STRENGTHS

Pacquiao:

* Unorthodox Style – Pacquiao is very unorthodox, even for a southpaw. He moves straight in but is hard to time with his bobbing and head feints. Before most opponents can time his onrushes, he is throwing whirlwind punches from a variety of angles.

* Speed – Pacquiao is quick and agile and his hands are deceptively fast. He throws rapid one-two combinations or multiple left hands and will force opponents on the defensive.

* Stamina – Pacquiao fights just as hard in the last round as he does in the beginning. He applies a lot of pressure and is constantly punching, wearing opponents down in the process.

Mosley:

* Experience – Mosley has been a championship caliber boxer for a decade now, tangling with top names such as Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De la Hoya, Winky Wright, Vernon Forrest, among others. He’s fought guys who are bigger, younger, and harder punchers before. There isn’t a style that he hasn’t faced.

* Versatility – Mosley can switch gears and make adjustments in the ring, being the aggressor and fighting inside or boxing and counterpunching from the outside.

* Durability – Mosley is a solid durable fighter with a good chin. He has been down once in his career and hurt only on a handful of occasions, even though he has faced several heavy-handed punchers.

WEAKNESSES

Pacquiao:

* Trouble with Boxers – Pacquiao is at his best when in against opponents who stand in front of him and try to trade as he usually overwhelms them. But he has had difficulties against good boxers, especially Juan Manuel Marquez, who was able to clearly outbox Pacquiao for extended periods in their two encounters.

* Tender Skin – Pacquiao has contended with cuts and scar tissue throughout his career. He was cut badly by headbutts in his fight with Agapito Sanchez and also in his first fight with Erik Morales. Even in some of his dominant wins, he has shown bruising around his eyes. His fragile skin is always a potential liability.

* Distractions – Pacquiao is a popular celebrity in his native Philippines, involved in the country’s political agenda. He will sometimes leave training camp to appear at fundraisers and other political events. Also looming is the constant talk about superfight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mosley:

* Sizzle – At times, Mosley’s offense will contain more sizzle than steak. As he has aged, he has adopted a style with more moving and feinting, and while his moves are slick and eye-catching; there is more style than substance which doesn’t score points.

* Age – Mosley is 39 years old and is several years past his prime. Aside from his impressive win over Margarito in ’09, Mosley has been exposed as having lost a few steps over the last several years.

* Inactivity – Along with the fact that Mosley is older is the compelling issue that he has not fought in nearly nine months. It might keep him fresher or could make him rusty against one of the fastest and sharpest fighters in the game today.

PREVIOUS BOUT

Pacquiao:

(11-13-10) Pacquiao pulverized Antonio Margarito over 12 one-sided rounds, dominating the larger but slower fighter with speed and combinations. Had the referee ready to stop the fight on several occasions and sent his opponent to the hospital with a fractured orbital bone and other various facial injuries en route to winning a unanimous decision.

Mosley:

(09-18-10) Mosley fought to a lackluster 12-round draw with defensive-minded Sergio Mora. In a bout with few solid punches and multiple clinches, Mosley landed more punches but was thwarted by Mora’s constant movement. In a difficult fight to score, all three judges disagreed with the final verdict being a split decision draw.

3 BEST PERFORMANCES

Pacquiao:

* Oscar De la Hoya (12/06/08) – It’s hard to imagine now but the consensus at the time was that De la Hoya would destroy the smaller Pacquiao in a landslide. It was a landslide but it was Pacquiao dishing out the beating, ripping De la Hoya apart with both hands. After eight one-sided and brutal rounds, a swollen and bloodied De la Hoya was beaten into permanent retirement.

* Miguel Cotto (11/14/09) – Pacquiao impressively dismantled the larger and physically imposing Cotto. Pacquiao dropped the Puerto Rican superstar twice early and from the 6th round on, had him in a defensive shell, battering him until the referee stopped the bout in the 12th round.

* Ricky Hatton (05/02/09) – Pacquio ran through Hatton in fast and destructive fashion. Hatton, while still an underdog, was expected to provide a challenge with his strength and mauling tactics. Pacquiao unveiled an improved right hook and had Hatton down twice in the 1st round before crushing him with a devastating knockout in the 2nd.

Mosley:

* Oscar De la Hoya (6-17-00) – Mosley had moved up from lightweight only nine months prior, skipping over the junior welterweight division, and challenged on of the sports top boxers. In a thrilling encounter, Mosley rallied down the stretch, out-punching the bigger champion in winning an exciting split decision.

* Fernando Vargas (7-15-06) – The first bout between these two warriors saw Mosley win when Vargas was unable to continue due to damage around his eyes. It was competitive enough to warrant a rematch. Mosley rendered the rematch a mismatch, keeping Vargas off balance, before flattening him with a homerun left hook in the 6th round, setting up the stoppage moments later

* Antonio Margarito (1/24/09) – Margarito was coming off a brutal demolishing of Miguel Cotto who had previously scored a close win over Mosley. Conventional wisdom favored Margarito but Mosley’s speed and ability negated Margarito’s offense and Mosley’s power left him battered and beaten in nine one-sided rounds.

QUESTIONS

Pacquiao:
* How will he react if Mosley stuns him?

* Can he remain focused amid all the outside distractions?

* Will his recent successes leave him overconfident?

Mosley:
* Can he fight a hard, fast-paced fight at his age?

* Will he be intimidated by Pacquiao’s speed?

* Can he recapture the magic of his top-notch performances?

PENECALE PREDICTION

Mosley has traditionally struggled larger, defensive fighters who use movement and limit offensive opportunities like Vernon Forest, Winky Wright, and Sergio Mora. He also struggled the rare time he met a fighter with faster hands and sharper reflexes in Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao will fight in a very aggressive style and there will be counterpunch opportunities for Mosley. But Pacquiao’s combination of lightning speed and destructive power could be devastating if Mosley has truly lost a few steps turning the bout into a carbon copy of Pacquiao’s brutalization of De la Hoya.

Pacquiao will start the bout using his quick feet, moving forward and probing with his jab and looking for openings for his left. Mosley will bounce and feint, using upper body movement to try and set up the perfect shot.

Pacquiao’s workrate will carry the first three rounds. Mosley will try to stand his ground and slow Pacquiao down throwing hard single body punches but will be met with blistering counter punches forcing him to become more tentative.

As the bout drags on through the mid-to-late rounds, Mosley will show signs of fatigue. Clinches will become more frequent as Pacquiao continues to advance. From the 9th round on, Mosley will appear ready to fold, only surviving with his toughness and pride.

When the final bell rings, Pacquiao will be smiling his 1000-watt smile with a few bruises on his face while Mosley is beaten and frustrated, but his pride still intact. The scores will be wide and the winner by unanimous decision is Manny Pacquiao.

In the end, Pacquiao will not have outdone Mayweather on this night. The only way they can settle it for sure is to see who can do better than the other when they meet one-on-one in the ring in the ultimate game of one-upmanship!!!

Conyers-Molina Friday Night Fights Prediction

Posted on | April 28, 2011 | No Comments

by FIGHT PICK EXPERTS on APRIL 28, 2011   Stylistically, this may be one of ESPN’s most exciting bouts, as a dynamic puncher will test out the punch resistance of an iron chinned opponent. Against the defensively flawed Molina, Conyers should have no problem landing punches. The issue at hand for the New Yorker will be his conditioning and durability. Molina has gone the distance in most of his fights, while Conyers’ bouts don’t tend to go past a few rounds. Although supporters would argue that his last bout went the full ten round distance, Molina’s gone ten or more rounds six times and is 5-0-1 in those bouts.   Click HERE to read more by Fightpickexperts.com.

CALZAGHE PERFORMS PRIZEFIGHTER INTERNATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHTS DRAW ON RINGSIDE

Posted on | April 28, 2011 | No Comments

Perez opens against Oquendo on May 7, Sprott faces Fields

Welsh legend Joe Calzaghe performed the draw for Prizefighter International Heavyweights on Ringside on Sky Sports – as eight men with over 160 knockouts between them fight to become the first ever International Prizefighter Champion on May 7 at London’s Alexandra Palace.

It’s the 18^th edition of Matchroom Sport’s eight-man, one night tournaments live on Sky Sports and Irish-based Cuban Mike Perez kicks off the night and the hard-hitting unbeaten 25 year-old faces a real test against Fres Oquendo, David Haye’s Puerto Rican sparring partner.

The explosive Perez has won all of his 13 pro fights – 10 by knockout – and won the World Junior Amateur title at Light-Heavyweight before joining the pro ranks. Haye contacted promoters Matchroom Sport to recommend Oquendo, and the Hayemaker reckons the 38 year-old has the class and experience to claim the £32,000 winner’s cheque having mixed it with Evander Holyfield, John Ruiz, David Tua and Oliver McCall in his 39 fight career.

The winner of that bout will face a semi-final against Kevin ‘Kingpin’ Johnson, the American who took Vitali Klitschko the distance in a World title fight in December 2009, his only defeat in 25 fights or Gregory Tony, the French Heavyweight champion who fought for the European title in August. Johnson fights outside America for only the second time, after losing to Klitschko in Switzerland, and Kingpin – with 10 KOs from 23 wins – is eager to win the tournament for a chance to get back into title contention. Tony is a live opponent for the American though, as the 32 year-old can really bang – he won his first seven fights inside three rounds and holds 12 KO wins from 14 victories.

UK Prizefighter champion Michael Sprott features in the third quarter-final against KO King Tye Fields, the 6ft 8in American with 41 knockouts from 45 wins. Sprott will be determined to win back-to-back Prizefighter tournaments after success in October and the Reading man is back in the venue where the European title was snatched from him by Audley Harrison’s 12^th round knockout last April. Fields will be a major test for the 36 year-old and warned that he plans to get his fights over quickly – and he boasts an incredible 25 first round knockouts to his name.

The winner of Sprott and Fields’ will feature in the second semi-final and will take on either Cuba’s Juan Carlos Gomez or German Konstantin Airich. Gomez is the former WBC Cruiserweight and International Heavyweight champion with 49 wins from 52 fights in a colourful career that saw him defend his Cruiserweight title ten times before moving up to heavyweight defeat Oliver McCall for the International Heavyweight title and– troubling Vitali Klitschko when he challenged for his WBC belt two years ago, before falling in the seventh round. Big hitting Kazakh-born Airich has 13 knockouts from 16 wins and has tasted defeat just twice – including a crazy fight with Danny Williams that put him firmly in the public eye.

Tickets for Prizefighter International Heavyweights at London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday 7 May are available from Matchroom Sport priced £35 unreserved, £50 and £60 ringside and £120 VIP – to buy call Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900.

 

Williams, Coleman, Barthelemy, Unbeaten Russians and Cubans in Tough Tests on Cosmopolitan Undercard

Posted on | April 28, 2011 | No Comments

The undercard has been finalized for this Friday (April 29) ESPN2 Friday Night Fights broadcast from the deck of the Boulevard Pool at ultra-luxurious The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.   In support of the excellent Carlos Molina vs. Allen Conyers main event will be several stiff tests for undefeated prospects looking to climb boxing’s ladder to stardom against tough opponents looking for an upset.   In the televised opener, Houston, Texas-based prospect Hylon Williams Jr. (13-0, 3 KO’s) will face Colorado’s Marcos Herrera (6-4-1, 2 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight bout. Williams was generating future star buzz before he took more than a year off in 2009 due to burnout. This will be his second fight since returning and that buzz is already starting to return. Don’t miss this sensational prospect.   Looking to keep sharp as he prepares to fight for a mandatory position in the rankings in the future, relentless #5-rated IBF super lightweight contender Tim “Pitbull” Coleman (18-1-1, 5 KO’s) of Baltimore will face a surprisingly tough opponent in Sonora, Mexico’s Sergio Rivera (16-6-2, 10 KOs) over eight rounds. Credit due to Coleman who could be coasting his way into a big fight, but chooses instead to keep busy in good fights.   Undefeated Cuban super featherweight power puncher Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy (11-0, 9 KO’s) will take on Las Vegas’ Rynell Griffin (6-4-11, 2 KOs) in a super featherweight eight rounder.   Chelyabwsk, Russia’s Sergey Kovalev (13-0, 11 KOs) will take a potentially difficult test when he squares off with Bay City, Texas, native Terrance Woods (8-1, 6 KOs) in a light heavyweight eight rounder and Kovalev’s countryman, Evgeny Gradovich (9-0, 6 KOs) of Igrim, Russia, will face East Los Angeles’ capable Aalan Martinez (9-0-1, 5 KOs) in a six-round battle of undefeated featherweights.   Undefeated Cuban heavyweight Glendy Hernandez (6-0, 3 KO`s) will go against Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada’s Ken Frank (4-1-1, 2 KOs) in a solid six-round heavyweight match-up and to open the night, Havana, Cubas’s Yunieski Gonzalez (4-0, 3 KOs) will face Phoenix, Arizona’s Carlos Reyes (4-3-1, 2 KOs).   “This top-quality undercard reflects the elite surroundings of this venue,” said event promoter Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing. “Friday night at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, boxing fans will be swimming in non-stop action.”   On fight night, doors will open at 4:30 pm. The first fight is at 5:00 pm and the main event will begin promptly at 6:00 pm. The Cosmopolitan proudly presents another uniquely glamorous evening of world-class professional boxing; and this time, overlooking the heart of The Strip on the open-air multilevel deck of the city’s most fabulous luxury pool, The Boulevard Pool. Tickets are on sale now and are priced at $50, $150 and $250 for the VIP experience, which includes a private section with comfortable seating and complimentary cocktails. Special Cabana packages also are available. Tickets are available for purchase at www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or by calling 877-551-7776 or 702-698-6880.
