I'm a huge
Shane Mosley fan but the fact is he's too small at 154 pounds, he'd be better
of at 147 pounds. He got really tired in the last fight and other than
his big 12th round he didn't do much to Wright all day. I think a good big man
beats a good small man again. Wright in a 12 round unanimous decision.

Expectations here are pretty much a replay of first meeting. Wright by unanimous
decision. Mosley moving forward and consistently receiving Winky flak over 12
rounds of spirited action. A good and solid southpaw is hard to find and also
hard to beat.
Stephen Jones
-
Winky by unanimous decision.
Danny Serratelli -
I went with Winky in the first one and definitely can see a replay of the first
fight taking place, however, that would be boring. Shane was so fast and
dominant at the lower weight classes, and he has a lot of pride. Most people
would say they wanted a rematch with Winky, but really wouldn't. It's do or die
for Shane. Sugar Shane Mosley by split decision.
Chris Robinson -
Wright by clear decision. I think Mosley will have his moments
but Wright will once again be ready.
Kenny Perrault -
Winky Wright simply has Shane Mosley's number. Mosley can get a
new trainer and train harder than before but it will not have an effect on
this fight. Wright beats Mosley in the same fashion as the first go round.
Jeff Mayweather
-
Wright by unanimous decision again.
Tom Dickey - I think Shane Mosley will win by decision. I think you will see a new Shane
Mosley. He is with Joe Goossen and has gotten back to basics, and his basics are
pretty good. If he gets back to basics, and utilizes his speed and defense he
will win this fight. Winky Wright is a good fighter, but Shane will turn the
tables on him. Shane knows that everything is on the line for him, and that he
can't afford another loss. If Joe Goossen can bring back some of the old
Shane, then he's going to be tough to beat, and lately Joe has been able to
bring out the best in his fighters.

Winky Wright via Unanimous Decision.

Winky Wright will win a split decision over Sugar Shane on
Saturday!
Robert Hernandez - Winky is too big, and strong. I can
see Shane going the 12 because of his heart. Winky by UD.
James Roberts - Wright by decision ... 7 rounds to 5. I
think Shane will improve similarly to the rematch he had with Vernon Forrest.
Frank Gonzalez Jr. -
I expect Wright to outbox and easily handle Mosley much like the
last time. Expect Shane to come on strong but finish poorly. This contest will
go the distance with Wright winning a Unanimous Decision.
Blaine Hislop - Double-W by relatively lopsided decision
or by mid-to-late rounds TKO.
Mike LeTourneau
-
Mosley hasn't legitimately won a fight since July of 2001. I
don't see any changes here. Wright by UD, though it will be slightly closer
than their first fight.
Oleg Bershadsky -
Wright by TKO in the 11th round.
Jim Abbott - Mosley by KO9.

del Box -
Mosley will surprise everyone. He won't be the old Mosley,
because he simply can't anymore. But he will understand his limitations and
know that he will have to risk more and dig down deep to get it. Wright has
always had a tendency to fade late in fights (he even did so in the first
fight) and Mosley will be putting more pressure this time around, going to the
body more often and making Wright fight at a fast pace. Mosley will come
strong in the last quarter of the fight and dominate the last couple of
rounds, punctuating a close but clear victory. Wright's great chin will be the
only thing to keep him up.
Elisa Harrison -
Jeff Mayweather once told me -while we discussed the possibility
of Trinidad-Hopkins II- that if a fighter is dominates the first time
around, said fighter will only be that much stronger in a rematch situation.
While Wright didn't do to Mosley what Hopkins did to Tito, he was dominant
enough. It's only Wright that Winky will emerge victorious this coming
Saturday. Wink Wink unanimously...
