The Sugar Shane Mosley-Ricardo Mayorga fight is going to be live on HBO September 27 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The fight was moved from October 11. On the undercard will be Andre Berto making his first defense of his WBC Welterweight title against Steve Forbes. Forbes was last seen in May fighting Oscar De La Hoya. Although Forbes lost by UD, he busted De La Hoya a lot more than most expected. Berto tends to beat his opponents down, but not so sure he can do that against Forbes. Forbes has never been knocked down. Berto is only 5'8 1/2 which is better for Forbes who stands 5'7 1/2 but has fought a lot recently with taller guys. The Berto-Forbes fight will open up the telecast and then the Mosley-Mayorga fight will be the main event.

I like both of these match ups.
Especially Berto Forbes, this one will be a real measuring stick for Andre.
Steve Forbes is no easy task. He is a very slick boxer. I think since him and Berto are around the same height, that will help Forbes out better. Honestly I would like to see Forbes win. Nothing against Berto, but Forbes is the veteran and he has been through it all. If he won the WBC Welterweight title that would be huge.
