Bolo Punch Boxing Hour News

You would think Mosley would blow Mayorga out with simple speed, especially after watching De La Hoya school Mayorga with the catch and throw.   Mayorga proved he could take a punch in this one, looking to take a shot so he could land his wide punches.  Mayorga was the more active fighter through the first three rounds but in the fourth Mosley just seemed to wake up, beating his man to the punch.  Mayorga didn’t even land a punch in the fourth.  Throughout the rest of the fight, Mosley continued to land big shots whenever he chose to do so.  Mosley did show his age and gave Mayorga a couple of rounds late.  Then Mosley just turned it on with a minute and a half left in the fight .  Landing power shot after power shot he dropped Mayorga.  With mere seconds left in the fight, Mayorga rose to his feet knowing the contest was nearly over.  A single right from Mosley sent him straight back to the deck, just before the final bell.  Referee David Mendoza immediately waved the bout off, which begs the question, “What can Shane DO with this victory?” Not to mention, “Mayorga won’t quit. . . . I’ve seen him lose before, and he keeps coming.” Shane could be in line for another title shot. As for Mayorga, who knows? He’s still a tough test for anyone entering the upper level of the weight class. Only time will tell.
