Last night's fight between "Sugar" Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito will not be easily forgotten.

Mosley entered ring as the 4-1 underdog and almost no one believed he could pull off the upset. His only real chance of winning was to use his speed and boxing skills to outbox his opponent and neutralize WBA Welterweight Champion Margarito's constant punching output.

Perhaps the biggest reason as to why Mosley was the underdog was because he had lost against Miguel Cotto, whom Margarito made quit last year.

But this logic didn’t apply because Mosley came in a ring with a wining strategy while Cotto didn’t. More...

In a matchup I'm personally looking forward to, Mexico's Antonio Margarito makes the first defence of his WBA Welterweight Championship against three weight world champion Shane Mosley tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Whilst the likes of Mayweather, Hatton, Cotto, Judah and Mosley were engaged in big money fights, the Tijuana resident often found himself on the outside looking in. More...

Last night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, WBO Light Welterweight Champion Kendall Holt swept back the challenge posed by late replacement opponent Demetrius Hopkins, posting a split decision victory in a bout that went the distance.

Holt negated the height and reach advantage of his previously undefeated challenger by slipping the jab and getting on the inside to go to the body but was helped along more often than not by the inactivity of Hopkins.

While the Philadelphia based nephew of former world middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins was generally kept from forming a cohesive offense by the constant movement and footwork of the champion, he also didn't throw enough punches when the opportunities to do so arose and was outworked by Holt.
