Build up
Former Five-time titlist Sugar Shane Mosley will face Former world champion Sergio Mora in a Golden Boy Promotions event in Los Angeles. Mosley, who recently fought at welterweight and a champion in three weight divisions, is moving back up to Light middleweight to fight Mora who is currently fighting at middleweight. Mora, will drop back down to the 154-pound weight division where he formerly was the former WBC Light middleweight titleholder in 2008. Sugar is comming off a loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mora stopped Calvin Green in the seventh round in Las Vegas last April and was scheduled to fight Juan Carlos Candelo and was preparing for that fight. Both Mosley and Mora hail from the Los Angeles area with Mosley returning home and to the Staples Center for the first time since his spectacular knockout victory over then Welterweight World Champion Antonio Margarito in January of 2009. Mora, who is well known for his first place finish on the premiere season of the NBC reality series "The Contender," is returning since his 2005 decision victory over Peter Manfredo Jr. The Latin Snake is looking to become the first fighter of Mexican Descent to defeat the Future Hall of Famer Mosley.
Mosley is undefeated in two bouts at Staples Center against the legendary Oscar De La Hoya and Margarito. He has won five world titles ruling the lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight divisions over his storied 16-year career defeating De La Hoya (twice), Fernando Vargas (twice), Luis Collazo, Ricardo Mayorga and Margarito along the way.
Mora is a former Junior Middleweight World Champion. He last fought at Staples Center in 2005 when he scored a thrilling split decision victory over Peter Manfredo in a rematch of his final bout championship win of "The Contender." Going unbeaten in his next four fights, Mora began to rapidly climb the junior middleweight ranks, eventually winning the junior middleweight world title and then losing it to the late Vernon Forrest in 2008.
This Mexican Independence Day Bicentennial celebration features one powerful fight card. The undercard promises to be one of the strongest in recent memory featuring Mexican phenom Saul Alvarez facing his toughest opponent, former World Champion Carlos Baldomir. Top junior welterweight contender Victor Ortiz will square off against one of the hardest punchers in the junior welterweight division, former World Champion Vivian Harris.
Before the main event, Jenni Rivera will be singing the Himno Nacional Mexicano.
