Tonight's Fights

In anticipation of tonight's main event, a link to my boy Toshitaka Kondo's (@toshitakakondo) interview with Sugar Shane at Complex on-line. 

Also, for a quick breakdown of the undercards tonight, Maxboxing's cheat sheet

With that...enjoy the fights.  Fight Lawyer.

UPDATE

Mayweather dominates Mosley.  With the exception of the first and second round, Mayweather easily wins every other round (two judge's scored all but the second for Mayweather).  Mosley stunned Mayweather in the second--for a minute I was out of my seat and thought Mayweather was wobbled and could go down--but Money came back in the third and controlled from there.  He didn't run, as many expected he would (including me), he stood toe-to-toe and took the fight to Mosley.  Ultimately, it seemed that age, speed, and conditioning killed Mosley. 

After the fight, Larry Merchant asked Mayweather if Pacquiao was next or whether the drug testing issue would still be the deciding factor.  Mayweather does not appear to be open to waiving his insistence that there be Olympic-style drug testing.  I will dig into Olympic-style drug testing this week.  Fight Lawyer
