PRESS RELEASE-LOS ANGELES, September 16 - With boxing’s present already well accounted for on Saturday, September 18, thanks to names like Sugar Shane Mosley, Sergio Mora and those of the rest of the pay per view fighters, it will be up to the future stars of the sweet science to make their own statements in undercard bouts at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles that night. With a lineup featuring Frankie Gomez, "Dangerous" David Rodela, Keith Thurman, Sharif Bogere, Lanardo Tyner and Kaliesha West, expect some fireworks before the big guns start firing on Pay-Per-View.
One of the most highly-touted prospects in recent years, 18-year old Frankie Gomez (5-0, 5 KO’s) signed with Golden Boy Promotions following a stellar amateur career and he has been thrilling fight fans ever since. Sporting a perfect pro record with every victory coming by knockout within three rounds, the East Los Angeles native will compete in a six round welterweight bout on September 18 against fellow Angeleno Ricardo Calzada (2-2, 1 KO).
Oxnard lightweight "Dangerous" David Rodela (15-3-3, 6 KO’s) broke a two-fight losing streak in May with a hard fought win over Eric Cruz and he’s back to the form that saw him defeat former World Champion Kevin Kelly and fellow prospect Gamalier Rodriguez. He returns to the ring this weekend to take on Mexico City’s Juan Manuel Montiel (6-3-1, 1 KO) in a six round contest.
A silver medalist in the 2008 Olympic trials, Largo, Florida’s Keith Thurman (13-0, 12 KO’s) has shown even more promise as a professional, as he’s been destroying his opposition with frightening efficiency. Having stopped 12 opponents in less than two rounds, including the 7-0 Stalinn Lopez in July, Thurman brings excitement every time the bell rings. He will look to add to his already impressive resume when he battles Portland’s Quandray Robertson (15-9, 10 KO’s) in an eight round junior middleweight fight.
21-year old Uganda native, Sharif Bogere (16-0, 10 KO’s) was a five-time national champion in his homeland before relocating to the United States to begin his pro career. Unbeaten as a professional, the talented Bogere already holds wins over 10-1 prospect Jose Hernandez and 58-fight veteran Ilido Julio. The Henderson, Nevada resident is looking for another big victory in his Los Angeles debut when he takes on Ciudad Juarez, Mexico’s Julian Rodriguez (17-19-4, 11KO’s) in a six/eight round junior welterweight bout.
Opening up this talent-rich event is an eight round junior middleweight bout pitting Houston’s Lanardo Tyner (24-3, 15 KO’s) against Los Mochis, Mexico’s Cristian Favela (19-30-6, 10 KO’s). Known as "The Pain Server," Tyner has tested himself throughout his pro career and following a 2009 loss to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, he has reeled off three wins, capped off by a ninth round TKO of highly-touted Antwone Smith in July. He will be in for another tough fight on September 18 against the veteran Favela.
An amateur superstar who won 98 bouts over the course of a career that saw her earn National Golden Gloves and Junior Olympics titles, Kaliesha "Wild Wild" West (12-1-2, 3 KO’s) has been boxing since the age of ten and at just 22 years old, she is knocking on the door of a world title. Unbeaten for nearly two years, West is coming off of a fifth round TKO of Vannessa Guimaraes in June and she’s ready for the biggest fight of her career at STAPLES Center on September 18.
Though she doesn’t own the same amount of amateur accolades as her opponent, South Carolina’s Angel "Non-Stop" Gladney (6-2-1, 5 KO’s) certainly has the same determination to win the Bantamweight World Title this September. A pro since 2009, Gladney has shown amazing power thus far, and with all five of her knockout wins coming in the first round, expect fireworks early when these two bantamweights collide.

Boxing: Mosley Looks For One Last Title Run
Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotion's has filled up yet another roster for a pay-per-view card. The feature fight of the night will see Shane Mosley make what could be his last serious run at a major title. To the surprise of most boxing Shane Mosley in Actionfans, his opponent Sergio Mora has opened as a much shorter underdog than anticipated. Bookmaker.com currently has Mosley sitting at -250 with the over/under 11.5 rounds hovering around -270/+220. Rounding off the card will be a few young prospects still looking to find their rhythm before making the jump in competition. It's hard to imaging much sports betting value in either of the under-card fights; both men (Victor Ortiz and Saul Alvarez) have been made the overwhelming betting odds favorites.
Judging from the short betting line on Sergio Mora, one has to assume that Father Time will be Mosley's toughest obstacle of the night. His most recent fight against Floyd Mayweather, witnessed the 39 year old take a one sided beating for the better part of 10 rounds. Age suddenly looked to be an issue. Mosley had 2 good rounds in him before he inexplicably gassed out and stiffened up for the remainder of the fight. The biggest question going into this fight is whether we'll get the Mosley that destroyed Antonio Margarito inside of 7 rounds or the Mosley that seemingly had nothing left in the tank against Mayweather.
If you're looking for the most value in a Sergio Mora line, Bodog.com currently has the best price at +230. In the event that Mora does pull off the upset, you have to assume it most likely goes to a decision. Sergio only has 6 knockouts in 23 fights, providing a lackluster KO ratio of just 25%. The Mora by decision prop is at +300.
Sergio Mora is probably best known for his stint on The Contender. Since then he has blossomed into a solid B+ level fighter, even going on to capture a title against the late Vernon Forrest. The truth is his talents in the ring have been collectively written off by most of the boxing community. Despite what most will have you believe, Mora may be going into this fight with the superior boxing skills.

Judging from his first encounter with Vernon, he does have the ability to confuse and breakdown his opposition with his mobility and active jab. Although he went on to lose the rematch, boxing fans have been too quick to write-off his initial performance. The second fight very well could have been a result of a lack of preparation and weight loss. Don't be surprised if Sergio's jab and inside clinch work to the body give Mosley a lot more problems than expected.
Prediction:
Mosley's toughest tests in his career have come from guys who are looking to out-box him rather than slug it out. While it's true that Sergio has been baited into unnecessary exchanges in the past, there's just too much riding on this fight. Look for him to take the "slick boxer" mentality into the ring this Saturday.
This fight very well could play out like his first encounter with Vernon Forrest, with Shane getting the best of him in the first 4 rounds before Sergio's work-rate and endurance eventually takes over. Expect his mobility and body work to systematically break the aging Mosley down. I think the scorecards will end up close but If Sergio fights the smart fight he's capable of, he can take the fight by at least 2 rounds.
We just can't be sure if Shane Mosley can still carry his power into the later rounds. Because of this unknown factor, I would advise those of you who like Shane to take a look at 5dimes.com's prop selection. Mosley to win in rounds 1-6 is at +765. If he's going to be the first man to ever knockout Sergio, it will most likely be in the first half of the fight.
