It was obvious since the opening bell that Mosley is not really trusting himself against Pacquiao, he was very cautious since the beginning, he was not in his usual fighting style; he did not readily engage in exchanging of solid punches with Pacquioa. Many observed that it seems that Mosley is just intent in preserving his record of not having been knocked out by an opponent.
Pacquiao on the other hand wanted to push on, make Mosley engage him in a good fight but a mucle cramp in the leg in the 4th round prevented him from making a full assault of Mosley.
Mosley was always running away from Pacquiao; every time he receives a punch that hurts he gets away quickly so that he won't get more. But Pacquiao got him in the third round and landed a solid punch on his face that cause him to drop in a sitting position on the canvas, very stunned.
Despite the pressure Pacquiao gave Mosley through the whole game, Mosley managed to finish the 12 rounds without getting knocked out. In the last rounds of the match the audience were booing Mosley because they wanted to see more action and Mosley prevented real action by running away from Pacquiao all the time.
Here's a video that shows the highlights of the match:
