the kid, canelo was holding back,as if he didn’t want to hurt the old man, sugar shane has nothing to prove any more,he just ought to call it quits,retire,it was a friendlyfight
What was Mosley thinking fighting flat-footed against Alvarez? Thanks, allthebestfights.
I was a good fight
I was a good fight
great fight canelo is a pretty good fighter nice.
Shane looks slow and out of timing/shape. Saul has a lot to probe if he wants to be remembered as the best Mexican fighter of all times, JC Chavez in his prime would have destroyed Shane is less then 4 rds
Canelo way better than jack and Mosley. Mosley nev been beat like that and he is someone who was caught using roads
anyone knows the background music on Part 1/2 7:30 it always comes up on every ppv after a round when the fighters go to there corners
shane mosley little too old great performance from alvarez. shane mosley had his spells but by 7th round ran out of gas. I respect shane mosley even at 40 what he has done against a top quality young fighter who has power and strength. Shane mosley Legend and alvarez wish him all the best as well great fight.
Arm jabs by mosley. No turning or extension
I enjoyed mosley career but it’s time to hang up the gloves, He doen’t have that speed like he had in recent years. Big up to Shane for a great career.
Mosley is one of the greatest ever. Great fight! He can hold his head up on this one. Canelo is young and hungry. Canelo is what Mosley was at that age. At 40, Mosley looks great and can hang but!, not with a young buck like Canelo. Good luck for both warriors. Mosley needs to stop. Mosley has left his mark and no one can do what he has done for boxing.
the best
