The clip shows the combination of punches Mosley landed on Mayweather on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, Inoue seems to be enacting the same move that made Fulton taste the canvas.
The move began with a left jab to confuse the opponent. And, to complement that, the two firmly landed their right cross to cause damage to the opponents. This similarity has caused a stir among the fans, who can’t believe the exact details in both clips.

@StandardjohnyB can’t comprehend how Mayweather withstood Mosley’s attack. And how Mayweather had him on the back foot for the rest of the round.
Crazy that Floyd had Shane on the back foot again by the end of that round. People overlook it, but Floyd had a granite chin and was as tough as nails.

@Jammieesl believes that Inoue’s attack on Fulton was just a lot stronger than Mosley’s.
