“Settle down Shane, you’re cut from a different cloth…”
“Baby, let’s go! He’s making you his fucking bitch!”
This fifth and final episode in Fight Camp’s coverage of Pacquiao vs. Mosley has stirred up a frenzy on the internet. The 15 minute installment features footage of a panicked Shane Mosley asking trainer Naazim Richardson to stop the fight after round 10. Naazim implores Shane not to destroy his legacy and convinces him to continue. In light of Mosley’s promise to make it a war before the bout, some fans have taken umbrage with Mosley seeking to get out of the fight due to a foot injury (blister). All fighters have at one point or another have thought of quitting. It takes a good trainer to know their fighter and what their limits are (much like Angelo Dundee when he ignored a young Muhammad Ali’s desire to quit after being blinded by Sonny Liston back in ’64). Still, it was sad to see a clearly past it Mosley go out like that. As you’ll see, everyone else from the commentators to his own sultry girlfriend, Bella Gonzalez, shared the same sentiments.
