Touissant v Mosley

Post by Grant »

Great fight very hard to score. I had it even and have no problem with the decision. Mosley didn't do enough in my opinion.

Was tough one to score. I didn't score it round by round and thought it could go either way when I was waiting for the decision. No dramas which way it went. Touissant can fight.

Mosley Jr. is clearly a tough young kid himself, but he definitely has to work on some head movement. He had no head movement at all. He was just walking straight in and firing away, but even the rounds he got the better of he took a lot of clean hits because of the lack of head movement. You can't teach toughness, and he's got that, but you can teach head movement. Hopefully somebody works with him and fixes that hole in his game.

That would have been a terrible decision if Touissant didn't get the nod :bag:

Not likely.
This kid entered the sport with inherited name recognition and money backing him up.............and yet here he is fighting on overseas undercards.

Yeah I know. Plus the way the sports works these days, if you have 2 losses out of 13 fights you're treated as a journeymen or a bum or something. It's bullsh*t really, but that's the way it is these days. You're either an undefeated prospect or you're not a prospect at all.

Far too much emphasis placed on that "0" these days.
