I'm thinking Mora is the best bet on the card, I'm still looking over the De Leon fight


probably best to avoid betting this one all together

just finished watching Vivian Harris's last fight.... one of the worst stoppages I've ever seen

[The HOFF]

Any one else like Mora +210? I think the Margarito fight was a fluke and Mosley is pretty much done.

[Collegepays]

I agree Hoff. Mora should outpoint Mosley and take this 1 by decision

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Yea, Mora looks like a good play here, too bad Mora win on points dosn't pay much more around +225

[illmatick]

not looking good for Mora...he just missed weight by 3 pounds

[Poster X]

mora is not an elite level fighter, who has he beat punching-bag gotti?
sugar wins in an absolute sleepwalk.

[Poster X]

manfredo not gotti.

[illmatick]

he beat Vernon but got destroyed in the rematch... I was confident it would be competitive before the weigh-ins, not so sure now.

[sundin4prez]

so is mosley the play?

[scratbandit]

mora is going to get knocked out. all it take is one shot from mosley.

[Ian]

I'm going with Mora here. Mora's no HOFer, but Mosley's borderline shot yet still has a HOF reputation. Mora's jittery style was enough to cross up Vernon Forrest, and Forrest then is imo better than Mosely now... and that's the same Vernon Forrest who beat Shane Mosley twice. IMO definitely worth taking a chance on the dog.

agree...the line has been surprisingly stagnant since the weigh-ins

Do you know where I can see this? What do you think Ill? Are you still going to put something on Mora after the weigh-in?

[iQon]

I can't believe people are seriously betting Mora. I could see if this were at 160, but he's horrible at 154. The guy simply can't make that weight and be effective.

Mosley will punish him. They wouldn't have cherry picked him if they believed otherwise.

[Poster X]

just don't see Mora as much more than a club-level fighter. Mosely's best days are behind him but this is like Secretariat versus Zippy Chippy.

[snake11eyes]

Mosley will win this fight no doubt. Don't get down on him because Mayweather tooled him. Mayweather is a class above everybody and Mora is a class below the elite fighters. If you want to lay the chalk the over has the same odds as Mosley -250. Mora has zero chance to stop Mosley and Mosley has a slim chance to stop him. The over seems safe as well.

[spargament]

Sugar!

Anyone have a link to the fight tonight?

[SweatySombrero]

o yeah. all the time

[playa420]

damn, mosley doesnt look that good.might be time for him to retire if he cant beat mora

[Puda]

mora is so negative... mosley should be winning, much more proactive.... the commentators im listening to is soooo biased towards mora its not funny.

[Puda]

pfff draw... Mosley won it on my books.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

no the house was the winner, Draw??? thats why boxing is getting crushed

[iQon]

Suddenly, Floyd's win doesn't look so good.

Looks like Mora/Mosley II will be on the undercard of Friday Night Fights this winter.

[JuicedUp]

Typical boxing bullshiitttttt.

[sundin4prez]

the play by play i was following said that mosley should of won by atleast 4 rounds

[sundin4prez]

it would suck to pay big $ to go to a fight that ends in DRAW......

[Ian]

the play by play i was following said that mosley should of won by atleast 4 rounds

I didn't see the fight, but on boxing forums people scoring the bout widely disagreed (which is pretty rare). From what people were saying Mora landed far more punches, but Mosley landed more power punches. Larry Merchant was being criticized for pro-Mosley bias, so it's no surprise the announce team thought Mosley won. Whatever the case, this fight should prove that Mosley is done.

[illmatick]

the announce team that I was listening to had Mora winning by a large margin, he out boxed Mosley pretty easily but Mosley landed the harder shots as expected. I had Mora winning by two rounds but he gave too many of the late rounds away

most of the rounds should have been scored 10-10...lol

Mosley needs to retire.

[Kav]

i thought more won by at least 3 rounds. cant believe this finished in a draw...

[snake11eyes]

LMAO@ Mora for not wanting to hurt Mosley in his words below.

Mora, who held the 154-pound title in 2008, said he actually let up because he thought he was winning the fight down the stretch.
"I should've listened to my corner," he said. "They were telling me that it was a close fight. I thought I was winning, so I didn't fight as hard because I have respect for Shane. I didn't want to hurt him."

[shady610]

damn i totally had not idea about this fight, sounds like i didnt miss much
