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.
For the 30 year old Margarito, the big fights are finally coming. A pro since 1994, the WBA Champion has long been the 'avoid at all costs' man in the 147 pound division.
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.

Tonight, Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City hosts a WBO Light Welter title showdown between champ Kendall Holt and challenger Demetrius Hopkins in what should be a good, competitive battle.
Holt, 24-2 (13), was due to face Ricardo Torres in a third bout but the Colombian bomber was forced to pull out with an injury and in stepped former USBA titlist Hopkins, 28-0-1 (11).
The New Jersey based champion has always been a mercurial boxers, as wins over Mike Arnaoutis and Isaac Hlatshwayo but tough fights against Ben Tackie and Vladimir Khodokovski attest to. More...
