Sergio Mora v. Shane Mosley

[CFH]

Mora beating Forrest was one of the more flukey things to happen in boxing recently and it wasn't even that Mora looked very good, Forrest was just that bad. The rematch went how the first should have gone. Mora is not that good of a fighter. He has this reputation of being 'slick' but that's such bullshit. Watch Mora's last fight, he had to dig real deep to win that one and it was against a club guy with like 5 losses. The dude tired out against him. Forrest just didn't want to work for that fight and Mora used his feet, that's all he did.

Shane is faster then Forrest or Mora, he won't have any sort of weight issues and Mora. Mora isn't top 10 at this weight. This guy lost to Peter Fucken Manfredo and he hasn't fought but one fight in 2 years. He's got this fight because he fought a smart fight against a Forrest who barely even showed up. I'm all for giving a guy credit when he wins but go back in that fight and all Mora did was make Forrest miss with the jab and there was absolutely nothing following it up. That was 'off night' in boxing typified and in the second fight you could see the separation of class.

He's just not that talented of a fighter and his only advantage will be height, which he doesn't even use. I'll change my name to the Latin Snake if this guy wins, there aren't many sure things in boxing but in my mind this is one of them.

And again, there is no way he's top 10 at 154. Sergei, Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Angulo, Mosley, Foreman, Vanes and a few more all beat Mora comfortably imo. That's even if he's active, which he's not even close to being.

That's harsh, but it's probably pretty fair too.

I'm admittedly a fan of his, but Mora is a limited fighter. He's quick and awkward, and he has a very good chin, but he's not slick at all and he never has been. He gets hit regularly and he's struggled to make even journeymen fighters miss him on a regular basis. He also has a very low work-rate. He lost to Manfredo in their 2nd fight, he lost to Elvin Ayala, and while he deserves credit for beating Forrest and for showing a ton of heart in the rematch, when Forrest took him even half-seriously he took Mora to school. Mosley's age is the only thing which makes this a potentially competitive fight. I think Mora, if he utilizes his advantages and gives the fight of his life, might make it competitive, but I expect a Mosley TKO.
