Whilst Shane Mosley thought the draw with Sergio Mora was a ‘good decision’ at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday night, Mora insists he did enough to win.
Post fight quotes below
Mosley: “We both fought hard. It was a good fight so it was a good decision. He’s not a good puncher so we had to box more. This was a different fight because he had to come down in weight and I had to go up. It would have been different if I was fighting someone my height and weight. Mora moved, ran away and held. There were lots of head butts and that effected me. I still want to fight someone more my weight and height like Cotto.”
Mora: "I came to win and I wanted to win, but my respect for Shane Mosley got in the way. I got hard headed and should have listened to my corner. They were saying it was close and I thought I was winning the fight and my respect for Shane got in the way. Shane threw really good punches. He hit me with some hard shots. Honestly, I thought I won the fight."
