After the 11th round, the judges at ringside at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., had the fight scored:

105-104 Mayorga – Pat Russell
105-104 Mosley – Nelson Vasquez
107-102 Mosley – Tony Crebs
Brickcity card had it 106-103 Mosley, but felt like HBO seemed to favor Mosley in the commentary on a close fight. “Sugar” Shane lived up to his nickname and finished like a true champion.

Referee: David Mendoza – Shane Mosley (W) TKO 12 – 2:59

RICARDO MAYORGA (Post-fight quotes taken in the ring): “I was proud of the way Shane fought, like a true champion. He didn’t run. I thought I was doing well in the fight, and I came out to win it in the last round, but Shane caught me.

“I will tell that he hit harder than I thought he would.”
