Miguel Cotto defeats Sugar Shane Mosley in a Close Decision

Miguel Cotto defeats Shane Mosley in a Close Decision in a packed house at Madison Square Garden. The fight did not disappoint in any way as it was action packed throughout and provided some twists and turns. Both fighters put on a beautifully violent performance where there were no losers, especially boxing.

Sugar Shane started the fight out fast, opening with a pair of body shots of all things. This foreshadowed the interesting role reversal in the later rounds. The Puerto Rican Star quickly found his mark with his jab and was able to touch Shane pretty consistently.

Cotto often found his mark with a punishing jab, solid hooks and a vicious straight right. Both fighters showed great chins and incredible resilience to stand up to the punishment.

Round Six saw Mosley switch up the game plan and bounce on his toes with Cotto stalking. Even though Shane has way more experience in big fights, Cotto seemed way more poised. Both fighters continued to land sizzling punches. Cotto’s slightly harder, Mosley’s more flash.
