Pacquiao Embarrases Mosley!

Las Vegas- “You gotta stop the fight!” “I got a blister on my foot. I can’t move.” Those are the words of Shane Mosley, in his corner Saturday night, at the end of the tenth round against pound for pound King, many Pacquiao. Nazeem Richardson, Mosley’s trainer had to convince his fighter that he was great and able to finish the fight with a knockout. It was quite a shock to see a great fighter like Mosley reduced to such a feeble state but that’s what Pacquiao has been doing, lately, to his last six opponents. The fans are starting to get tired of it.

Throughout the last two rounds, the fans in the MGM Grand screamed for the “Pac Man” to end the match by knockout but Mosley used his jack rabbit defense to run away from Pacquiao and clinch, hold and complain his way to the decision. In the ring, Nazeem Richardson counseled his fighter, explaining to him why he let the fight continue, while Pacquiao walked around the ring with apologetic smiles to the fans for not getting the knock out.

Mosley’s face was covered with visible red bruises. Without question, it was the worst beating he has ever taken. For Pacquiao, this was just another big name on his resume and for Mosley, one last big payday. This fight also had another important factor: future opponents.  Now that Mosley is out the way, there are only two fighters left that really have a chance to beat Pacquiao: Marquez and Mayweather. Marquez fought Pacquiao in two close fights that ended in a draw and a split decision victory for Pacquiao.  Both could have gone either way. Mayweather beat Marquez in an one-sided affair.  Many people thought the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao would happen, after that but neither camp was able to negotiate a deal.

The boos that were raining down on Mosley and Pacquiao indicate that if Pacquiao chooses any other fighter beside the two the fans want to see the public will be in an uproar. So fans, hold tight because Marquez or Mayweather will be the pac-man’s next opponent. If not, it will be another blow to the sport and the fans, so let’s hope that the powers that be are listening.

Jabs- Team Pacquiao listened to the boos and have signed to fight Marquez in a November.
