Pawel Wolak vs. James Moore

<fight>1505842</fight>

In perhaps the best bout on the Cotto-Foreman undercard in the new Yankee Stadium, Irish fighter Moore appeared to win the first two rounds by landing power shots thrown at a distance. Polish fighter Wolak changed style in round three, outworking Moore on the inside and throwing more punches from that point on, winning rounds four through seven on aggression, with Moore on the ropes too much, though the majority of the punches thrown did not land. Moore took the fight to Wolak in the last three rounds, which were closer. Moore appeared to tire abit as the middle rounds progressed and the extreme heat took its toll, with humid temperatures in the new Yankee Stadium around 83 degrees Fahrenheit. The crowd applauded the decision, which appeared correct.

* Mayweather Jr. entered ranked at # 2 [[pound-for-pound]] and the # 3 welterweight in the world according to [[The Ring Magazine]].

* In buildup for the fight, [[HBO]] aired its series "[[HBO 24/7|24/7]]" in which it briefly chronicled the two fighters' training and preparations for the bout.
* Ticket prices for the bout ranged from $100-$1250.[http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content7357.html]
* Mayweather earned a guaranteed $22.5 million purse, while Mosley was guaranteed $7 million. Mayweather's actual earnings, however, likely exceeded $40 million after the HBO pay-per-view totals were calculated. [http://boxing.fanhouse.com/2010/04/29/floyd-mayweather-to-earn-22-5-million-purse/]

== Bout Summary ==
[[File:MosleyMayweather.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Official Fight Poster]]
The opening round saw both superbly quick handed fighters come out tentatively each looking to counter the other. Apart from a few decent jabs, neither fighter landing to effect. Mosley went down midway through the round from a slip. A pair of big right hands hurt Mayweather in the 2nd and it appeared at one point that he may go down. He was able to maintain himself, however, until the end of the round. Mayweather appeared to have regained his composure and likely won the 3rd Round by stepping up his aggression and pressing Mosley. Round 4 again was a very measured round, with both fighters looking to land big counter-right hands. Apart from some nice jabs, though, the major punch of the round was a right hand by Mayweather. The 5th Round saw both fighters winging with often wild shots, but neither landing noticeably more so or more effectively than the other. In the 6th, both fighters looked to feint and counter, but Mayweather appeared to have made the better changes and was a step ahead. Round 7 and 8 expanded the gap between the two fighters as Mayweather landed cleanly against a determined but a slowed Mosley. It was evident that Mayweather was in his zone and beginning to cruise. In the 9th, Mosley was the busier of the two but Mayweather continued to land more effectively and battered his opponent with right hands. Mayweather continued to pound Mosley in the 10th and hurt him with a digging body shot. Following the round, Mosley's corner hinted at stopping the fight if he didn't show them something. The 11th saw a game Mosley throw punches but not be able to land against the Mayweather's philly shell. Floyd continued to snap Mosley's head back with jabs and right hands. The final continued much as the several previous. Mosley threw but was out of gas and Mayweather picked his spots with straight shots.

== Comments ==
* In the post-fight interview Mayweather said he was willing to fight pound-for-pound # 1 [[Manny Pacquiao]] but only if he agreed to blood and urine testing leading up to the bout. "If Manny Pacquiao can take a blood and urine test then we have a fight," Mayweather said. "If not, no fight."
* "I wanted to give the fans what they wanted to see, a toe-to-toe battle. It wasn't the same style for me but I wanted to be aggressive and I knew I could do it." [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2010-05-02-39029607_x.htm] - [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]]
* "I caught him with my big right hand and I tried to move around but by that time he was too quick and I was too tight. After the right hand I thought I needed to knock him out and I needed to do it sooner than later. But I couldn't adjust and he did."[http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2010-05-02-39029607_x.htm] - [[Shane Mosley]]
