Shane Mosley vs. Sergio Mora , billed as 200: Celebrate and Dominate, was a professional boxing match contested on September 18, 2010. [1]
On 30 June 2010, it was announced Shane Mosley would fight former WBC light middleweight champion Sergio Mora at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on September 18 at light middleweight, only a few months after his wide decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.. [2] [3] An official press conference took place at the end of August. [4] The card was billed as a celebration of the bicentennial of Mexican Independence Day. [5]

The first of the televised bouts saw former WBO super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce de León stop Antonio Escalante by 3rd-round knockout in a WBO featherweight title eliminator. This was followed by Victor Ortiz also scoring a 3rd-round knockout, over former WBA light welterweight champion Vivian Harris. [6] [7]
In the chief support undefeated contender Canelo Álvarez faced former welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir. [8] Baldomir was knocked down by a left hook in the closing seconds of the sixth round, falling face first onto the canvass. He was counted out by the referee giving him his first stoppage loss in 16 years.
Speaking afterwards Baldomir said "It's true that he hits hard. He hits really hard. His power really surprised me. This kid is the real deal. And he's going to be a champion. No one has hit me like he hit me before. He knocked me out me and nobody (except one man) has ever knocked me out." [9]
Mosley was the aggressor through much of the bout but had trouble landing clean punches with Mora moving out of harm's way or tying Mosley up when he got inside. The lack of the action resulted in crowd booing from as early as the second round. [10]
The bout ended up being a scored a split draw with one judge having it 115–113 for Mora, one for Mosley 116–112 and the another 114–114. [11] The scores from the journalists at ringside ranged from a six-point victory for Mosley to a four-point win for Mora. [12] Both HBO's Harold Lederman and ESPN scored the bout 117–111 for Mosley.
According to CompuBox Mosley landed 31% (161 of 522) of his punches, compared to just 18% (93 of 508) landed by Mora. [13]
Mosley appeared to be satisfied with the result saying "We both fought hard, it was good fight, a good decision." Mora meanwhile felt had done enough to pull off the upset "I should've listened to my corner, they were telling me that it was a close fight. I thought I was winning, so I didn't fight as hard because I have respect for Shane. I didn't want to hurt him." [14]
