On Saturday, February 25th, "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas (27-2, 23 KO's) and "Sugar" Shane Mosley (41-4, 35 KO's) will clash at the junior middleweight limit at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. At 34-years of age, Mosley needs the win more badly than the 27-year-old Vargas. Fernando, even with another loss, is still young enough to bring his career back from the dungeon.
On the other hand, Mosley is 3-4-1 in his last eight bouts, has appeared to have slowed down in the reflex department and would need a serious comeback in order to recover from suffering what would be his third loss in his last five bouts. Both men have lost step or two in their game, and most experts wonder if either man will suck it up and deliver the type of performance that made them multi-million dollars superstars in the business.
The staff of BoxingScene comes together to voice their opinions, predictions and analysis on the big fight.
Tim Smith - I believe Mosley, though he will be the smaller man, can use his quickness and boxing skills to frustrate Vargas and win a decision.
Ron Borges - Speed usually beats power, but Vargas is the significantly bigger man going against a guy who has slipped enough that he's no longer considered "Sweet and Lo'' let alone "Sugar.'' Vargas by 11th round TKO. [details]
