This has to be the new Champion division in boxing. For years it was heavyweight, then middleweight, but for the last 5 years this is number one.
This fact was never more apparent, than last Saturday night and the greatest finish to a fight in many years. Sugar Shane Moseley, was at least 4 points down on the scorecards to Ricardo Mayorga, when with one minute to go in round 12, he went after him. He knocked him with a three punch combo with 20 seconds left. With the ref taking an age to count, it looked like the bell would save the Nicuraguan, but with one second left, and just one punch, Moseley knocked him out, winning officialy with a knockout after 2mins and 59secs of round 12. Rocky 7 is what the over hyper sky commentator called it. I was off my seat. It was superb.
