Lou sent the signed contract to Moz, and SM has been sitting on it. This fight should have been done.

SM was trying to get FMJ instead.

Lou DiBella told Dan Rafael that two fights involving two of his biggest fighters and Golden Boy Promotions are close to done.

First up, the Shane Mosley-Andre Berto welterweight title fight on January 30, 2010. Confirmation is all that's waiting, and while it looks like it'll be a go, DiBella is being cautious:

"There are still some issues that have to be resolved between the Berto side and HBO," he said. "The issues are not between our side and Golden Boy. I'm optimistic that a deal can get done, but it's not done yet."

Mosley-Berto will stand as a great test for both sides in January, I think. Berto has never faced anyone this good, or frankly even close to it. Luis Collazo has been his toughest opponent, and Shane carved Collazo up a few years ago. At the same time, Mosley will have not fought in 53 weeks, and he's not getting any younger. Plus, Berto is quite fast, much faster than Shane's recent opponents, Antonio Margarito and Ricardo Mayorga, two plodding brawlers. It's a really interesting fight and it even feels like an overdue step up for Berto, which might not be fair, but when you get all the hype he has, eventually it becomes underwhelming when you're fighting the competition he has.

It's a good fight. I see a Mosley win by KO but maybe Berto will surprise us.

I got Berto in this one, I think he steps up to the plate gets a UD over a 39 year old Mosely. Mosely had trouble with Cotto's speed and timing, I doubt he will be able to handle the super quick hands of Berto. The only chance Mosely has is if he can stay on the inside and bully Berto.

It will be a great fight man! Let's see if the younger guy has it or not

I think this will be an interesting fight. Plus, it's for two titles.
