Saturday night the HBO main event features a twelve round 154 pound battle between "Sugar" Shane Mosley, (44-5, 37KO's) and Ricardo 'El Matador" Mayorga, (29-6-1, 23KO's) live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles California.
Mosley Opened about a 6-1 favorite over Mayorga but the public quickly jumped on that line, skyrocketing Mosley to a ?900 favorite to defeat "El Matador" Saturday night. Mayorga gets the underdog cash at +600. The O/U for the fight has been set at 9.5 rounds, with the over landing at -135 and the under coming in at +155.
Mosley by KO comes in at -103, while Mosley by decision will get you +188. Mayorga by KO hits the mark at +983, and Mayorga by decision lands at +1457. The odds the fight is declared a draw currently rest at +4000.
Although both boxers have fought at 154 in the past, I do not feel it is the optimum weight for either fighter.
Mosley was simply a beast at the lower weights, and even after moving up to 147 pounds was still considered one of the best fighters in the world.
"Sugar" made the leap to 154 back in 2003, after losing back-to-back fights against Vernon Forrest at welterweight.
