That's on www.boxingtalk.com. Mora also invented paper. He is well known and very beatable so I guess its a good move by Dibella, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. Mora might actually be slightly underrated because of the contender thing, but he's not beating Taylor.

This would be a great fight no matter who wins. Taylor choosing to fight somebody that was on the show "the contender" is very smart!! Mora and the other fighters on the show, got more exposier to the general public then any of the other fighters in that weight class to include Taylor himself. What is sad but very true is the fact that more people out there heard of Sergio Mora then those who know who Taylor is. He is more of a name then Taylor for sure. Not to true boxing fans but to the general public.Fighters that have that kind of name can pretty much fight whoever they want because there is always high demand to see them preform. And of course there is always a champion out there that wants to make a quick buck. And to make things interesting this Mora kid can actually fight! This could actually be a entertaining fight. But no matter who wins Taylor will have made more money in this fight then in any other fight he possibly could of took in that weight class. Because there will be a lot of fans buying tickets that aren't really boxing fans at all. A lot of them will be "contender" fans. Reality show addicts....This all goes to show that the reality show "the Contender" has done so much for the sport of boxing. For the first time in years boxing is being put on display to the general public. If "the contender" continues like it has been doing, then look for boxing as a whole to become much more popular than it has been in a long time. Especially if one of these guys on the show actually becomes a super star.....
