Clottey set to face Mosley | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7

Should be a decent fight. Mosley has taken a good year off following Margarito and Clottey just gave Cotto a tough little scrap.

I think Mosley outboxes Clottey for a decision, but that depends on where Mosley is at. He certainly isn't getting any younger.

That's a good scrap waiting to happen.

Well 2 sites are reporting that it's a done deal.

This will be a great fight, and a nice Christmas present for all of us.

A Mod can delete this.

Me and Miles posted the news at the same time.

Great fight! I pick Shane by 10th round KO. He can crack anyones chin if they stay in front of him. Like you say Miles it depends if he still has enough but I think he does.

Don't see Mosley knocking him out, Clottey ain't no Margarito taking endless shots, he's got a pretty impressive defence. I think Mosley takes it by a close, possibly controversial, decision, but that's the difference between a great fighter & a very good one. I hope Clottey actually has done alright out of this financially, I've not been a fan of how Golden Boy have been lowballing prospective Mosley opponents, especially considering how Mosley is the one complaining how he doesn't fight for money but for legacy. Has soured me on one of my favourite fighters more than the whole BALCO scandal.

I think we should wait until we actually see a quote from Schaefer or Arum confirming it's done.

Like it alot.Think Mosley can do much with Clotteys hesitation and lack of all out fire when oppurtunities present themselves.Think Mosley can TKO him.

I don't know about that, Clottey has a tough head.

But I do see Mosley winning by decision.

[blegit]

Mosley wins this by convincing decision. Mosley has about the biggest heart in the game and Clottey's heart gave concerning questions in the Cotto fight. If any welterweight can KO Clottey it would be Mosley. But I'm sure Clottey makes his way to a discouraging decision loss.

[leftylee]

Looks like both fighters won't be having a stuffed turkey the day before.

Regardless, Mosely wins a UD. But Clottey is one tough Mofo and this won't be anything like the Margarito fight,

I wish the Berto fight would have come through rather than this. I mean it will be a good fight but, Mosley said he was holding out for bigger fights and I think Berto is a bigger fight than this. Doesn't really add anything to Mosley's resume. I'll definitely still watch it though

Ya, I think HBO wanted the Berto fight. Problem is, since the Pavlik-Williams fight is still a possibility, HBO didn't have the type of money available that Berto was looking for.

Plus, Berto and his team are probably thinking "Why rush?" If Mosley beats Clottey, then they can do Mosley-Berto in 2010, and Mosley is only getting older.

Exactly.Solid scrap and Clottey capable but sort of a step to the side Imo considering where Mosley is and how much time he has left overall.Berto is due now, for good or bad....just seems like he has been building to a breakthrough match for some time.
