    Is this really for a shot at Thurman/Porter

    My gut feeling is that Mosley has some gear to compensate for how off he actually is Still looks quick enough and has some legs but he can't pull the trigger or put anything together, think he's a few rounds behind now.

    Yes the power doesn't seem to be there or the timing like you said.

    Fairly close fight from what I watched before the recording cut off after 8. He was def losing though and his opponent deserved the decision I'm sure.

    I really was hoping he could beat this guy n look good, but it wasn't meant to be.

    Man it is like no one ever looks at the greats that did not call it a day at the right time. Jones is fighting in a circus tent is that not enough to tell a fighter that could be you if you keep on going. I am just glad Holyfeild said pretty much no way he comeback because he was close to that as well.

    Can't fault Mosley for this fight if he needed the money I guess, he had a good chance and stayed in the fight. His timing is gone and he can't throw a combination to save his life anymore, but he had a very beatable opponent in front of him who wasn't a puncher. Hopefully Shane retires now, he'd get clobbered and probably suffer the first real stoppage of his career against anyone a bit better.

    In this case spoiler is a good thing. No need to watch a great look gone.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    it was for the interim wba title so whether or not it is actually for a shot at the winner of THURMAN v porter is unclear :S the wba really do like having as many champions as possible, I wouldnt be surprised to see this fellow stay interim champ for ages :S

    I wouldn't be that surprised to see Porter beat Thurman. He's easy to hit and without any fundamentals, but I don't see Thurman as a guy who controls distance or conserves his energy to well. For a guy billed as a KO puncher, he's gone the distance against basically every good fighter he's been in with and has looked wanting in the late rounds a couple times. I'm sure he'll win since I'm saying this, but I give Porter a decent chance to weather an early storm and overpower him.

    Think the name and fellow promotion would have trumped it up as obvious full champion match to come but Avenasyan with a trinket is also a disposable champ match for Porte-Thurman. Zero ranking by another group so he'll do what Haymon and wba barks just to pass the copper along and consider himself a player. Porters physicality will test Thurman like never before while we're at it. Thurman has been rocked across the ring by far lesser punchers. Hope Mosley gets out but no doubt he'll will keep this "close" call as means to plug on as self promoter.

    The WBA was quite clear that the winner of this fight would fight the winner of Thurman/Porter. Whether they follow through or not is another story.

    Either way it was a joke.

    Am watching this now and fast forwarding it to be honest. Mosley's legs have gone, he's looking like a white man dancing compared to how he used to move. Typical shot fighter legs. Sugar Shane is now all herky jerky body movement too. Oh dear. If this Armenian bloke is struggling to beat 2016 Shane he's not going to be pulling up any trees in this weight division.

    I read that Shane is close to Porter and therefore he would not fight him anyway.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Close fight, but thought Mosley was outworked as the fight went on. He gave a good showing despite being semi shot. Should retire really as he has nowhere to go.

    So who won the fight between these guys does anybody know because i have not been able find the result to the fight. Either way it is really going to be a sad thing to see him fight because he is so old. I hate that he has gone down the Jones and Holyfeild route because it never a good thing.
