Shane Mosley: It is going to be a great fight – Boxing News
A press conference earlier today had Shane Mosley, Canelo Alvarez and a couple of other fighters who will be fighting tomorrow night, May 5, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The event will be headlined by Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto and is named “Ring
Kings: Mayweather vs. Cotto.”
Canelo Alvarez, the current WBC super welterweight champion, will go head to head against Shane Mosley. Both the fighters are supposedly ready for their bout tomorrow. In their press conference, Shane Mosley came up saying, “It’s gonna be a great fight.
I’m in great shape. I’m ready to rock and roll. I sound like a broken record. I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready…I’m REALLY ready!.”
On the other hand, Canelo Alvarez said, “I prepared very well for this fight with Shane Mosley. What can I say about Shane Mosley? Nothing but nice things….I think I’m going to win. It’ll be a great win for all of Mexico and our team.”
This is not enough. This fight is bigger than what it looks like. According to Oscar De La Hoya, this fight might surprise a lot of fans. He added that while most people think the Mayweather vs. Cotto fight will be the main event, Shane Mosley vs. Canelo
Alvarez can steal the show.
In his words, “Don’t be surprised if this fight steals the show.”
On the other hand, Shane Mosley’s trainer Nazim Richardson said that even though Mosley is old he has learned a lot with time and he is good enough to fight even today. He added that no one in the world can stay young forever and anyone who thinks like that
is a fool. He said that every time a boxer enters the ring he is there either to take punishment or to give it. He then said that those who take more experience than punishment are the ones who go a long way and they learn every time with experience.
For now, this is all Mosley and Alvarez had to say. The event will be held tomorrow as a PPV and will be televised live by HBO.
