Oscar DeLaHoya vs Sugar Shane Mosely on foxtel now

[Grant]

What a pleasure to watch.

two all time great fights! Awesome viewing!

Certainly grand fights and Mainevent is showing these as freebies to drum up interest in upcoming Mosely versus Mundine bout.

The Shane that fought Oscar 10 and 13 years ago, would have no trouble disposing with Mundine, but today it will be harder, and let's hope it goes longer than the Danny Green/Roy Jones Jnr effort.

Im predicting Mosely by KO.
He has power in both hands and is a better boxer than Mundine.

[DA GOOSE]

Shanes not as shot as Roy,Mundine has little power at 154. The best Mundine can hope for is a UD IMO.

The best that Oz boxing can hope for is that the masses don't realise how far gone Mosley really is. Otherwise it'd be pretty difficult for us to gloat about how one of ours beat 'one of the best P4P fighters of the past 10 - 15 years'

I actually like this fight for Aussie boxing for no other reason that there is a good chance it will sell and some guys on the undercard should get some exposure.

Isn't it a Boxa promotion?

[Beltane]

The promoter is shown as Vlad Wharton (Millennium Events) with the matchmaker as Rob Fogarty. No mention of the esteemed "Boxa"!

The undercard is a considerable improvement on what Boxa has dished up in the past and expected suckers to pay for:

- The Carr and Bennett 12 rounders appear to be decent preliminaries, despite Carr's small number of bouts and Bennett's 40 years.
- The Bates/Brubaker bout looks evenly matched.
- The Aloua/Powers bout will see where Aloua fits in the scheme of things.

But then we drop off into "Boxa" territory with:

- The women's bout has all the markings of a mismatch.
- The mooted 10 rounder with one fighter entering with a 5(3)-0-0 record against a 0-2-0 fighter, looks quite dubious.

the whole undercard is nothing special. could be worse, could be better.

The undercard is not really PPV worthy. It needed a better co-main, something like a will tomlinson or Adrian Brunker, even a Billy Dib fight.
