Mosley has slipped obviously but he still has enough to beat the likes of Collazo. Mosley is the veteran now, he can no longer overwhelm his opponents with athleticism but now has gone the Bernard Hopkins route of beating his opponents with guile and occasional flashes of his old self.
I thought Mosley would knock out Collazo. Collazo was blasted out by Edwin Cassiani earlier in his career and I figured it was a matter of time before his chin was exposed again. But, defensively he has improved and he is a world class fighter.
Their styles didn’t mesh well. Put in Kermit Cintron against Mosley and you’ll have a much better bout.
Again, this was one of those fights that settled into a rhythm and I lost interest around the sixth round or so. No drama with these two, just a workman-like performance by “Sugar” Shane.
