Mexican sensation Antonio Margarito defends his WBA welterweight title against American veteran Shane Mosley at the Staples Center in Los Angeles this Saturday (January 24).
Margarito make his first (hugely anticipated) appearance since he broke up previously unbeaten Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto in 11 fantastic rounds last summer in Las Vegas. The 30-year-old champion showed all his renowned strength, stamina, durability, body punching and remorselessness to wear down a gifted opponent, to punch him to a bloody standstill. Margarito defines the rugged approach but in Mosley he faces a slick, sharpshooting opponent who has never been stopped in 16 dazzling years as a pro and enjoys home advantage.
"Sugar" Shane, of Pomona, made his name in sparring with a peak Julio Cesar Chavez while still an amateur and holds two paid (well paid) wins over big LA rival Oscar De La Hoya. Ominously, he was outscored by Cotto just a few months before Margarito got hold of the man but came back with a late knockout of Nicarguan wild man Ricardo Mayorga last September in Carson City to secure this payday. He really showed what he could do when he floored and 'schooled' Luis Collazo on the way to a comprehensive 12-round decision in 2007. Southpaw Collazo nearly beat the unbeaten Andre Berto recently.
Mosley has been sparring middleweights in preparation for the towering Margarito, a huge welterweight with a middleweight's strength (and Marvin Hagler's chin), and will surely look to stick and move in the way Paul Williams did when outfoxing Margarito in 2007. Mosley is always in great shape but his age is against him (37) and recent allegations allegedly linking him to the BALCO steroids scandal have probably aged him further.
Ultimately, the Cotto comparison speaks volumes. Margarito, a tad rusty and always slow-starting, delivers his usual frightening late-round surge to grind out a worthy points win.
