Mosley at 146.6 and Cano at 145.5
Shane looks in incredible shape as always ... WARRR

Anyone know what time this fight will be happening ? I hope it doesnt conflict with Matty-Pete
The show is at the same time as the LM-LP card but i'm just guessing on american tv but maybe they would do well to avoid the fights clashing if they can (are they on different channels?)

I may be asking too much but man, what a great night of boxing it would be if we saw a margarito esque Mosley.

Cano is one tough sob, the kid does not give up until he's knocked out. GBP should of put this as the co-main, Alexander-Purdy will be a snoozer.

Muhammad Ali looked the best he had in years when he went in against Holmes.

Don't put too much stock in his physique, he had shown serious signs of degradation in past fights.
you think people would learn that weigh ins mean jack shit.

Shane is always in great shape. He stays in the gym, no surprise here. He should win this fight but he is nowhere near his prime.

Certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Fuck his physique - the fact he hasn't been able to pull the trigger for years is more worrying. His only hope is to take Boring Bernard's approach and con his way to victory.
Has Shane Mosley ever looked physically bad in a fight? Even later in his career he always looked like a stallion. Doesn't change the fact that in the ring he's got no bullets left to fire. In the corner 4/5 rounds in, he's usually asking Naz for the fight to be stopped anyway.

He looks great aesthetically(no **** and all that), Mosley's one of those fighters whose physique will always be impressive but in terms of his actual skills as a fighter he's pretty far gone. In comparison to what he was anyways.

Wouldn't entirely surprise me if he were to edge this out though, even if I think that Cano will probably take it. He's a tough guy but not exactly the Canelo or Mayweather type that have made Splenda Shane look really bad, even someone like Mora, in a stylistic sense.

When isn't he absolutely ripped?

It would have been incredibly hard to imagine Cano beating a fighter like Mosley after he was destroyed in Duran/Moore fashion by an old Morales. However, he's improved recently and Mosley is shot. I don't think it'll be an easy fight but I wouldn't be too surprised if the tough Cano just had enough youth and activity to pull off a decision against Mosley.
