As the Five-Time World Champion Sugar Shane Mosley gets ready to take on Sergio Mora on September 18, 2010 on HBO Pay-Per-View at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, Mosley took a tune up fight Tuesday night against a 7-foot-1, 335 pounds gorilla. Mosley was in the ring for the first time since his loss to Floyd Mayweather on May 1, but he’s opponent wasn’t just another chump, it was NBA superstar, Shaquille O’Neal.
O’Neal challenged Mosley in a hard hitting, five-round exhibition at the Caesar’s Palace Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Mosley and O’Neal had one common opponent, Shaq lost to Oscar De La Hoya back in August of 2009 while Mosley has beaten the “Golden Boy” twice. Shaq was coached by Hall of Fame boxing trainer Freddie Roach while Shane had his father in his corner, Jack Mosley.
It was a close fight but at the end all three judges scored 48 to 47 making Mosley the winner by unanimous decision.
