Well it seems they will fight. Poor Shane. I make Tony M. a 3-1 chalk here. Between the height advantage and Margarito's iron chin and punching power, Shane will probably retire after this. I know there will be lots of detractors thinking Mosley's speed will be effective. If a decent line opens up in Vegas I am going to hammer the shit out of it, on Margarito. This one is months away, but with all the bank failures, this is better than a CD. I'll be my own FDIC on this one!

Yikes. A public execution.

My bank account will grow from this one, but as a boxing fan I don't like this fight.

Shane has zero chance of winning and 100% chance of getting badly beaten up.

This will be as hard to watch as Angulo-Tsurkan.

I think Shane will lose as well, but I also think he'll look better than he did vs Mayorga.

The difference between Mayo and Margo is speed. Mayo was quick enough to be physically on top of Mosley all night, using his strength to wear him down and keep the fight at his distance. Margarito is too slow to get this close to Mosley. The distance will favour Mosley, who also has more experience than Cotto, and should have the IQ to clinch and separate if it gets close. I see Mosley looking good through 6, doing the Cotto strategy better than Cotto, and not getting caught up in exchanges, and controlling the distance.

But like you guys, I see Margarito eventually wearing him down, and stopping him late in the bout. I don't this will be the wipeout that you guys do. I think Mayorga was just a bad match-up for him, coming off a long layoff, and he used a bad gameplan. This bout the gameplan is simple, he's active, his opponent is extremely slow and plays to Mosley's strengths. A prime Mosley beats him, this Mosley puts out a strong effort, but gradually fades and gets stopped.

Mosley's power is far too little to discourage Margo, I'm not suggesting he'd do any damage, just bank early rounds.

The cat is out of the bag on this one...I wouldn't expect even remotely decnt odds. Personally I think Margo will be about -450 if not wider. The question in this one is not who wins, but whenit will end. I give Margo a decent chance at being the 1st fighter to get Mose out of there. I like Margo in about 9 rds.

So hard to bet Margarito in any fight in my opinion. He just gets hit to darn much for my liking. How the heck long can that jaw hold up?

i'd prolly want to bet at least 1k on margarito by KO

he'll be the first to stop shane, i hope shane gets injured or something and can't do this fight, he's too courageous for his own good

i rather see Margarito beat Jin Mosley's ass :scared
