Mosley Knows

Casual Talk from Hollywood, California – Try to contact Sugar Shane Mosley, and you would know that his deep thoughts may have just reached the quantum level, even in the deepest forest of Big

Bear City in California where his boot camp is centered. Of course, not even a statement of bragging can be had from his lips. Yes, nothing at all but silence instilled by his usual smile. And there’s that strange monstrosity of his silence.

Maybe he knows, silence kills!

Yes, Mosley’s critical thoughts are bent to neutralize and to exploit Manny Pacquiao’s weaknesses. Expect counter-punching and upper-cuts more from Mosley. He plays bowling in Big Bear’s barns and alleys to tighten his upper-cuts, thereby strengthening his posterior shoulder onto his forearms’ superficial muscles. What he is revitalizing at this time are his reflexes, to execute effective counter-punching and upper-cuts.

First five rounds can be troubling for Pacquiao if ever Mosley is able to establish his rythym effectively, the insider reporter intimates.

“Mosley would be very agile in the ring against Pacquiao. And I see Pacquiao would just become so predictable and will have trouble adjusting with Mosley’s style,” the same reporter says who rather wants to remain anonymous.

Pacquiao and Mosley are scheduled to exchange leathers with the former’s WBO welterweight title on the line this May 7 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
