Former WBA welterweight super champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley will fight tough Mexican scrapper "The Latin Snake" Sergio Mora on Sept. 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Mosley (46-6-0-1, 39 KOs), a past titlist in three weight divisions, was outclassed in a unanimous decision loss against "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs) in his last matchup in May.
Mora (22-1-1, 6 KOs) is a solid boxer who was scheduled to battle Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KOs) in June 2009 before injuries derailed the contest.
As noted, Mora is indeed a skilled pugilist who knows how to carry himself in the ring.
Unfortunately, his feathery punches couldn't hurt Glass Joe .
Nevertheless, Mora is only 29 years old and Mosley is 39 years old and off the juice .
In his pharmaceutically enhanced prime, Mosley was a far superior boxer than Mora will ever be.
Still, the past is the past and currently Mora has a genuine opportunity to trump Mosley.
In all likelihood, Mosley will defeat Mora.
However, don't be shocked if "The Latin Snake" eats "Sugar" in the fall.
