Mosley KO’s Mayorga In 12th
Here's a little bit about the fight from the HBO site:
Shane Mosley continued to defy Father Time and demonstrated once again that time has not passed him by. Returning to the ring after the longest layoff of his career - nine months - Mosley struggled with a more disciplined and in-shape Ricardo Mayorga than usual though most of the fight. But with the fight very close on the scorecards, Mosley found a new gear in the 12th round, knocking down the Nicaraguan with 16 seconds to go with a right-left-right combo. Mayorga got up and then the 37-years-young Mosley put Mayorga down for the count with a solid left hook with just one second left in the fight.
And here's some details about the under card:
In the co-feature, Berto (23-0, 19 KOs) took on his most skilled and toughest opponent to date in former world champion Forbes (33-7, 9 KOs) in his first defense of a welterweight title he won in June. Berto showed much-improved defense and tremendous conditioning, fighting as hard in the 12th round against an older opponent who has never been knocked out to earn a unanimous decision, 118-109 twice, and 116-111.
