WRIGHT REPEATS VIA MAJORITY DECISION...
by George Elsasser
First hint of something different came as early as a pre-fite camera peek of
both dressing rooms … the Mosley shoot showed a redesigned model in physique.
Gone was the iron-pumping, overly muscled version, the one adopted when stepping
up in weight classes.
WRIGHT VICTORIOUS AGAIN... by Oleg
Bershadsky
This fight was anything but the one
sided affair we witnessed the last time these two fighters met.
While Wright came out victorious once again the fight was much
more competitive and had much closer scores. It began with Mosley
determined to prove that he still has a lot of boxing left as he
put together 3 and 4 punch combinations, as opposed to the last
fight where he was reduced to being a one punch at a time boxer.
MOSLEY vs WRIGHT: 'A REPLAY MORE THAN A
REMATCH'...
by Jeff Mayweather
Rematches don't seem to set well with Sugar Shane Mosley. In his
first professional loss he immediately re-matched his conqueror
Vernon "Viper" Forrest; as a result of the first match Mosley was
knocked off the top of the pound for pound list, the second fight
would knock him off the list altogether.
A VIEW FROM THE GALAXY: TOPIC TO TOPIC ON
WRIGHT-MOSLEY II... by Nate Campbell as told to Chris Robinson
Before really judging Wright as a fighter I read his record and
he didn’t have a lot of knockouts. That’s what I was looking for.
In my ignorance I was looking for the knockouts. To this day I
have always been a fan of knockout punchers, so I was kind of
hesitant towards warming up to Wright.
WRIGHT AGAIN!... by Kenny Perrault
Undisputed Jr. Middleweight
champion Ronald "Winky" Wright and Shane Mosley met in the ring for the second
time this past Saturday night. When they first met in March of this year Winky
Wright walked away with a rather easy unanimous decision. The win finally
catapulted Winky Wright to the top of the Jr. Middleweight division, a spot he
had fought hard for.
WRIGHT DEFENDS TITLES... by Tom
Cannon
Defense wins championships. This is a saying repeated often
in football and basketball but rarely heard in boxing. Ronald ‘Winky” Wright
has taken this motto into the ring with him. Winky utilized superior defense to defeat “Sugar” Shane Mosley by a
majority decision for the light middleweight championship.
IT'S HISTORY YET AGAIN!... by James
Brooks
Given that Wright is considering fighting Felix "Tito" Trinidad for his next
match (it wasn't mentioned at what weight), who would Mosley have as a big money
opponent? After seeing Mosley's anemic punching power against real
light-middleweights, maybe he should get past his ego and consider fighting a
much less dangerous Cory Spinks, who we all saw get floored by Zab Judah.
WRIGHT-MOSLEY II: QUOTES OF THE NIGHT...
by Chris Robinson
History would repeat itself on the night of Nov. 20th, 2004
as Winky Wright once again won a decision over Shane Mosley. The outcome was
expected by most but Mosley mixed things up the second time around and made a
rugged battle out of a seemingly hopeless situation.
WRIGHT vs MOSLEY: ALL ABOUT STYLE...
by Chris Robinson
Wright put on a
textbook performance that night, keeping his defense fastened
while countering Dodson at will on the inside with piercing
blows. It was a beautiful performance for the casual fan to
witness but just another day in the office for Wright. Wright
would make it look easy and by the 6th round Dodson had seen
enough. The guy was out of his league and Wright was granted a
TKO win in one of his finer performances.
BRC'S INNER CIRCLE PREDICTS ON MOSLEY - WRIGHT II
READ EXIT POLL PREDICTIONS ON WRIGHT vs MOSLEY
II
Will incumbent Winky Wright, the first undisputed
super welterweight champion in 29 years remain in office? Can
trainer Joe Goossen return two-time Oscar de la Hoya conqueror Sugar Shane
Mosley, a world champion in three different weight divisions, back to glory?

NO REASON FOR A REMATCH: A MOSLEY-WRIGHT
PREVIEW... by Mike Leanardi
There is an old adage
in boxing; the way to beat speed is with a good jab. While many
may preach it, few follow it. One man who does use that jab to
his advantage is Ronald “Winky” Wright.
BACK TO MAKE SURE HISTORY DOESN'T REPEAT ITSELF: AN
INTERVIEW WITH SHANE MOSLEY... by Tom Dickey
I
would like to see Boxing get more exposure for its
fighters, like you see in Football and Basketball. I would like to see it get
more of its young fighters out in the mainstream, and get more exposed, so there
is more of a demand...
REMEMBERING SHANE MOSLEY... by Chris Robinson
In the hit and miss
sport of boxing a fighter can be praised on one day and chastised
the next. The perfect example in my mind is “Sugar” Shane Mosley,
who has gone from being near the top of most people’s pound for
pound lists to being relatively written off by many in just a few
years.
