Shane Mosley: Last Fights

"Sugar" Shane Mosley was born on September 7, 1971 and is from Pomona, California. So far he had collected world titles in three weight divisions. He is currently the WBA Super World welterweight champion. Below are some of his last fights:

Mosley vs. MargaritoShane Mosley regained the WBA Welterweight "Super" championship from Antonio Margarito on January 24, 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Mosley came in to the fight as a 4-1 underdog with the bookies after Margarito had spectacularly stopped Miguel Cotto 6 months earlier. Prior to the bout nobody gave Mosley a chance of prevailing - everybody believing that Margarito was too strong and that Mosley was too old.

Mosley eventually TKO'd Margarito in the ninth round, after appearing to win every round up until then, in a massive upset. Sugar Shane utterly dominated Margarito, using his superior hand speed, pinpoint accuracy and countless huge right hands to the jaw, to wear Margarito down and stop him—something that many seasoned boxing observers thought was nigh-on impossible. After knocking him down with a series of heavy overhand rights at the end of the eighth round, Margarito was unable to avoid punches during a heavy barrage from Mosley early on in the ninth, forcing the referee to step in as Margarito slumped to the canvas a second time. Margarito had never previously been stopped. It was a sensational win for Sugar Shane and propelled him back to the top of the tree in the welterweight division.

Mosley vs. MayorgaShane Mosley destroyed Ricardo Mayorga with one second left in the 12th round of their junior middleweight bout, Mosley led by one point on judge Nelson Vasquez's scorecard and five on Tony Crebs' entering the 12th round. Mayorga had a one point lead on judge Pat Russell's card. The Associated Press had "Sugar" Shane Mosley ahead by three points entering the 12th. Mosley eventually won by KO.

Mosley vs. Cotto
Shane Mosley and undefeated WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto met on Nov. 10, 2007, at Madison Square Garden in an exciting fight. Cotto beat Mosley in a close, though unanimous decision. Soon after that match, Mosley was scheduled to face Zab Judah in a Welterweight bout in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 31. Due to an arm injury suffered by Judah, the fight was canceled.


Undefeated Lightweight Champion
Sugar Shane started his pro career in 1993, By 2000 he had fought 34 times amassing a 34–0 (32) record, beating undefeated Phillip Holiday to win the IBF Lightweight title. He made 9 title defenses with all inside the distance, but never unified belts. Mosley relinquished his lighweight title to move up 2 divisions, facing the Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya for his welterweight title. Mosley had defeated De La Hoya twice; on June 17, 2000 and on September 13, 2003 in particular.
