Cool fight! Way better than I expected. These two legends went all out. I would see SSM fight one or two fights before full retirement. Anyone can tell me why was this fight scheduled for 12 rounds?
I agree with you, better than i thought….before the fight i thought it was fixed, instead it was a great fight
I agree with you because this fight was above my expectations also. Regarding the 12 rounds don’t know what to believe or say since such rule wasn’t applicable here.
Mosley on steroids…
People really paid for this?
what are you talking about it was a good fight and way entertaining than the fraud of the century mayweather vs pacquiao
Very accurate punch to the liver from a boxer that is still able to perform reasonable. Regarding Mayorga I never liked him and I believe would be much better for him to develop a clown career than going back to the ring again.
