Mosley-Mayorga Rematch Set: Shane Vows Brutal KO! - Boxing News

I know they're both past their best but this might be fun. Mayorga is always entertaining and the first fight was decent.

Hopefully they test Mosely for this fight

Mayorga wont do much here. He wont be fit.

who needs this fight?

No. Bad. It was bad enough when Mayorga was being shipped in as just a rebuild win for guys who mattered but this is an equal who cares Names alone..substance zero.

They do. There has been a trend lately of older boxers who want to come out of retirement and fight. I used to say don't let them fight for their health, but if they pass a medical and fight each other I don't see what the problem is because there is a market for legends to fight each other.

The fight is at 154lbs. It's refreshing to see 2 guys who haven't made weight in quite some time not request a catchweight fight.

They should both come to fight so there could be nice action. Both are decent gatekeepers for up-an-comers.

I dont think so. Mayorga has said that Mosleys ex told him Mosely was cheating at that point and you only have to look at the energy he had in the last round after being bullied, pushed round and punched for most of the fight.

This is a very strange fight. Mosley is getting punchy and I can see Mayorga winning this. Maybe even by stoppage.

If he does maybe we see Pacquiao v Mayorga

Or De La Hoya v Mayorga 2

They must be broke, I used to be up for any Mayorga fight now matter how outclassed you knew he was gonna get. Just for the trash talk. Now it's just not convincing enough, its like a old man in a wheelchair with no arms saying he's gonna whoop your ass.

Mayorga doesnt have the speed or snap on his punches anymore to really even trouble Mosely who looked shit against Mumdine but Mundine is much bigger. Or was Mosley being tested?

Has Mayorga stayed in shape since the two minor comeback fights last year? He wasnt even in shape for them, the second one in December he weighed 173lb.

It will be interesting still but I love Mayorga and would like to think hes going in giving himself a genuine chance rather than just happy to be there.

I don’t have a problem with this fight. If they were feeding either guy to a prospect id think they were coming back for the wrong reasons but this is a rematch of a good fight with a brilliant ending so let it be.
I’ll be surprised if Mayorga makes 154 though. Last time we saw him was years ago up at super middle weight vs Vargas. Last memory of Shane was when he quit vs Mundine which was out of character and signalled the end. Sounds like he’s abit bitter about something, with the no more mr nice guy talk and if he isn’t riled now he will be once the press conferences with Mayorga start who has been in some of the most memorable Ive seen.

Fight itself will be messy like the 1st was but in the end Shane managed to outslug the slugger and nailed him to the canvas. Theres no reason to believe why anything would be different this time round if they’ve each declined equally. If Mayorga eneters the ring with a massive weight advantage as I suspect he will then I could see him lasting the distance. Shanes already said he wants a brutal KO so I cant imagine him being on his toes trying to box this one when he knows already he can outfight Mayorga Another ending I can see is an injury stoppage as often happens when two guys this age come out of retirement. Shanes suffered with Ankle issues and Back problems in recent years

Mosley is claiming that he'll be setting a new world record by having father and son fighting on the same card for the first time, but Oliver McCall has done it, Macho Camacho has done it, Butterbean has done it, and Rocky Mosley has done it!
