ESPN.com just posted that Shane Mosley's fight with Sergio Mora fell through and Shane will now be taking on Ricardo Mayora at Junior Middleweight.
I don't know how I feel about this fight...
Anyone excited about this? I would've much rather seen Shane fight Mora.
I am always excited to watch Shane. I am always excited to watch Mayorga.
It is a worthless fight in the big scheme of things, but I would not miss it for the world.
I had no idea Mosley/Mora was even being discussed.
I guess this means the Pavlik/Mayorga rumors amounted to not a whole lot.
I have to wonder how long Mosley's planning on going on. Is he trying to work his way to a title at 147? Without Floyd there's not a huge fight there except for maybe Cotto. A Cotto rematch wouldn't be bad but I didn't think the decision was that controversial and I don't see the fight going another way in a rematch.
awesome......all i kno is after the vargas fight, mayorga is fighting alot smarter then he did before, not sticking his chin out like an asshole....lol
but mosley has the brains and talent, mayorga is just crazy
i wondering what round mayorga is going to say he'll KO mosley???lol
As an entertainment action fight it would be nice,Sounds like Mosley is determined to fit in at 154 lbs.?.Better for Mayorga than getting crushed in a Pavlik Fight but how much does it really do for a still marketable & respected threat at Welter in Mosley?
when i was first looking at this i only seen that the fight was off, but now that he is fighting mayorga im as happy as hell, this will be a great fight
mosley will probbaly school him but you never know with mayorga
comming of a big win over vargas. great great news to here!!
Maybe Shane is trying to stay active while fighting a somewhat popular name...
shane has a few more fight left in him i was dissapointed the judah fight fell trough, i think this is a good fight for him, and befor he retires id love to see a third showdown with oscarQuote:

I dont want to see a Mayorga-Mosley fight. I'm a fan of both.
But Mosley's willingness to fight would make this an interesting one. Both guys have had taken their share of punishment in the past and I dont want to see either of them take what the other can give out. Mosley could easily take this by fighting smart but he will probably make it interesting by fighting Mayorga's fight at times.
Would have rather seen Mosley-Mora or Mayorga-Mora. Either guy would tear Mora a new one. But I havent watched Mora-Forrest. So maybe Mora would do better then I would expect. Especially with Mayorga.
interesting. Mosley-Mora is more exciting though.
I wish Mosley could have secured a better fight for his legacy. It isn't his fault, it's just the circumstances. I'm not excited about this fight, but I bet Mosley has no other option.
I want to see Shane get a Title fast.
Boxing politics have never favored Shane and I hope he hasn't just missed his final shot.
Mosley and Mayorga... better be free.
I guess Mora is fighting Oscar?

Are you crazy? This is going to be Shanes first KO win at junior middle. Mayorga is far too outclassed to beat Shane. He is going to look sloppy and slow and all his power will mean nothing to a faster fighter with an IRON chin in Mosley.Quote:

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight. Mayorga is always entertaining to watch and although he is not exactly elite, he is a tough fight for anybody. Judah is not exactly cream of the crop these days either so I don't see how he would be any better for Shane's legacy. Nevertheless, I think Shane would have been better off just giving Zab an extra month or whatever and they would have been fighting within the next month or so. Now he has to wait several more months and it will be almost a year layoff by the time he gets back in the ring. That's bad enough as it is and Shane ain't getting any younger....
