VIDEO: MAYWEATHER – MOSLEY LA PRESS CONFERENCE

What a scene it was, downtown Los Angeles across from Staples Center, where two of the best fighters of the last decade met to have it out in a war or words. Welterweight champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley, a native of the Pomona, CA, about 30 miles outside of Los Angeles, received much love and support from the crowd. The hometown fighter appeared to be very confident in his money green suit as he acknowledged the cheers from the fans. His nemesis, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, on the other hand, lived up to his role as the bad guy, as he was greeted by boos from most of the crowd. The two guys faced off and there was some jawing back and forth, but no pushing and shoving like a few days prior in New York. Both sides, as expected seemed confident, but the usually subdued Brother Naazim Richardson was the outspoken one. “Floyd is going to have to learn to deal with his first loss, and we will see who is still in his corner and on his bandwagon on May 2,” quoted Naazim. The overall theme of the press conference was that this is a fight for the ages…Ala Ali/Foreman or Leonard/Hearns. Whether or not it lives up to that billing, we won’t know until May 1st, but this will be as big a fight as we’ve seen in the last 10 years.
