Holy crap I watched this fight around 4am GMT and I've never seen anything like it. Mosley looked pretty ordinary and got man handled quite a bit by the bigger man. At his age he shouldn't be moving up a weight from welter to fight naturally bigger guys at light middle, esp Mayorga who is v rough and a real inside brawler. Anyways Mayorga dictated the fight and Mosley couldn't really get anything going until the 6th when he showed off some really classy combinations. Other than that though he didn't do enough to win lots of the other rounds and was only catching Mayorga with the odd single counter here and there.

Going in to the 12th the commentators felt Mayorga was well ahead, I had him up by 4 and he was taunting Mosley during the 11th/12th, raising his hands all the time and swaggering about the ring. Well in the 12th Mosley came out firing and knocked him down with about 20 seconds left. Mayorga got up and Mosley came running forward and landed a huge left hook which flattened Mayorga. With literally 1 second left on the clock Mayorga failed to beat the count and it was over. On the undercard Andre Berto looked really really good beating Steve Forbes on points. He has incredible hand speed and like to mix it up inside so I'm looking forward to watching him fight some big names, I don't think it'l be long unless Mayweather snr wraps him up in cotton wool.

Poker wise I just played a 1200 hand session of 2/4 and made 3 buyins. I'm getting in to a better sleep pattern now which is good since i'm starting running again in the coming week and also doing this zone thing. I also got Madden 09 the other day. It's pretty funny to see them try and better it each year with more and more features. The gameplay seems to be comparatively different from other Maddens though so it might take a little practice till I'm crushing All Madden. At the mo I'm 4-2-0 with the skins on all pro. I've made some great deals trading and am confident of a superbowl by the end of next season. I might disclose some of my trade secrets in my next blog.

Later,
Rob.
