Mora back in the ring Oct. 16 on ESPN Classic

So Ouma backed out? I dont get why instead of taking a pay cut like the other fighter is also doing, a boxer will take no fight and not get paid anything. If this fight was easy for Ouma, why not win easily and get paid. I think Sergio is very underrated and Ouma wanted no part in risking another highly likely loss without getting a big payday.

Would you like them to take half of your money from your paycheck and have you DEmoted, aswell?

If the other fighter is doing it, it seems fair to me. There are no dates untill next year so why just sit and make nothing? Lots of people were saying Mora is nothing, Ouma was saying he was going to knock his head off, sounds like easy money, why not do it if the other guy is up for it, is my point.

Any money is more than no money...

This was in Dan Rafael's notebook today.


• A week after middleweight Sergio Mora (19-0, 4 KOs), the winner in Season 1 of "The Contender," agreed to fight on the undercard of Alfonso Gomez's bout with Ben Tackie, his opponent was revealed. He'll face Elvin Ayala (18-2, 8 KOs) Oct. 16 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Mora was scheduled to face Kassim Ouma Sept. 15 on an HBO PPV card, but it was canceled, so "Contender" promoters offered Mora, idle since August 2006, a spot on Gomez's card. Mora-Ayala will be the first live bout to ever air on ESPN Classic (9 p.m. ET). It will come on just before the main event airs live on ESPN (10 ET). Ayala's only losses were competitive decisions to David Banks, a participant in this season of "The Contender."
