Mosley Sees Victory Over Pacquiao, With Genuine Confidence

Watch Pacquiao vs Mosley Fight - “I don’t see myself being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao on May 7”. It will be the other way around, that’s according to the radar of the 39-year old five-time champion of the ring. “Yeah, I think I’m going to knock him out”, with a knowing grin and genuine confidence, Mosley confirms this. He sees himself basking in the glory that is round one, if and if he could catch the Filipino fighter squarely on his weak chin. And surely, definitely, it’s clear on his mind that at the end of the day, his will be the hand that will be raised at the end of the Royal Rumble.

He also says that they are both fighters, and fighters do nothing but keep an eye on their opponent, guard their every move, and catch the other’s knuckles candid and off-guard. “Both of us are born to fight, he may come at me and definitely, I will make him fall. I will knock him out.” Mosley is as confident and glorious as a silverback when he was interviewed recently by Boxscorenews.

We can understand and truly accept Mosley’s positive thinking, determination, as well as genuine optimism. Of course anyone who’s facing an opponent and sees waning glory and fame if he gets defeated has this coping mechanism, in order for him to have that coveted spirit to win. The adrenaline rush Mosley possesses has something to do with the fact that he needs to boost up confidence, body and soul, to win; now or never against Pacquiao. Why wouldn’t he? After all, he himself is a boxing icon and still looked up by other fighters despite the fact that he is past his prime. Albeit the fact that he fought against Mayweather which went lackluster, and a draw against Mora, he is still revved up for victory against Pacquaio.

For the record, he needed to break away from his partnership with Golden Boy Promotions to have this fight as his gem on a golden platter. He is a ruthless underdog against Antonio Margarito in 2009, he dropped jaws of boxing fans all over the world when he knocked out Margarito in the 9th round. But no one knows what will happen on May 7. So it’s for us to find out when we watch Pacquiao vs Mosley Fight Live.

Pacquiao vs. Mosley Fight Covered by Fight Camp 360 Premiers Saturday

Infamous Pacquiao vs Mosley: Fight Camp 360 will premier Saturday at noon Eastern Time on CBS, which will mark the comeback of boxing to network television. Just like HBO’s 24/7, the documentary series will cover footages by Manny Pacquiao and Sugar Shane Mosley weeks, days, and hours into their May 7 face-off at MGM Grand in Sin City, Las Vegas.

USA Today released reports that the last time CBS premiered a live boxing event was during a match between Bernard Hopkins vs. Glen Johnson back in 1997, surprisingly, both men are still fighting, and the last time live boxing aired on a major network TV was in NBC’s 2005, The Contender.

Showtime Sports Executive Vice President Ken Hershman is awed saying Fight Camp 360 is as unique as it is compelling. “The key to the success of this series is the inherent truth to it. There’s no script, no voiceover. The provocative and intriguing personalities of the larger-than-life characters in the boxing world are what tells the story. From the promos in NCAA basketball to broadcasts of Fight Camp on the network in Saturday afternoon and prime time, the overall company support for the Fight Camp 360 series and the May 7 Pacquiao vs. Mosley pay-per-view event has been overwhelming. And we’re just getting started.”

So much for live video coverage, the match Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley will definitely be a big, scorching one, and the whole world will once again be all eyes to it once and for all.
