Finally awake after last night. Went to watch the fight at a sports bar. My thoughts:
Before the fight I knew something was up with Mosley. He looked timid, was just sitting around not taking time to get warmed up. It almost looked like he was scared.
The first round started with both Mosley and Mayweather looking timid...shadow boxing in the middle of the ring, flinching, without throwing punches.
Second round, both fighters let loose and Mosley catches Mayweather clean twice and Mayweather is hurt, but Mosley fails to even really try to finish Mayweather off.
From then on, Mayweather gained his composure and used his superior boxing skills and defense to frustrate Mosley and outpoint him.
I wonder what was up with Mosley; after the second round, it look like he stopped trying to fight and spent the whole night flinching and not throwing punches. Then after round 5, it looked like he just got finished running a marathon and was out of breath. I've never seen that from Mosley; maybe the age monkey finally jumped on his back.
Regardless, it was a good win for Mayweather. He showed that he can survive from a big hit and still get the job done.
As for Mayweather/Pacquiao, I'm still up in the air with this one. I don't see Pacquiao tiring and not throwing punches like Mosley did. And if Pac ever hurts Mayweather like Mosley did in the second round, he knows how to finish the job. I just don't know if Mayweather's defense will allow it to happen. I cold easily see another 12 round unanimous decision for Mayweather.
