The Mexican Independence Day Bicentennial celebration will be a big boxing weekend as Golden Boy Promotions presents “200: CELEBRATE AND DOMINATE” featuring Five-Time and Three-Division World Champion Sugar Shane Mosley against former World Champion  Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora in a junior middleweight showdown.

Also appearing on the card will be rising Mexican phenom Saul “Canelo” Alvarez who squares off against former World Champion Carlos “Tata” Baldomir, and top junior welterweight contender “Vicious” Victor Ortiz who will face former World Champion “Vicious” Vivian Harris, all part of a great night of fistic action on Saturday, September 18 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles which will be televised live on pay-per-view.

East LA’s own former Junior Middleweight World Champion Sergio Mora (22-1-1, 6 KO’s) last fought at STAPLES Center in 2005 when he scored a thrilling split decision victory over Peter Manfredo in a rematch of his final bout championship win of the first season of the reality series “The Contender” during which Mora became a household name to millions of fans.  Going unbeaten in his next four fights, Mora began to rapidly climb the junior middleweight ranks, eventually earning a shot at the junior middleweight world title held by the late Vernon Forrest in June of 2008.  Mora seized the opportunity and won the title via majority decision, but would lose a close decision to Forrest in a rematch three months later.  Mora returned to the ring in April of this year and defeated hard-hitting Calvin Green with an impressive seventh round knockout.  He now looks to take down a legend in Sugar Shane Mosley and become the first fighter of Mexican descent to defeat the future Hall of Famer.

Sergio Mora -- “It is an honor to be fighting Sugar Shane Mosley,” said Sergio Mora.  “I respect Shane, but September 18 is not the Shane Mosley show.  It’s mine…the Latin Snake’s, real debut.  I am a proud Mexican-American, in my prime and I am here to prove myself against one of the best fighters of this era.”

Shane Mosley -- “I am happy to be fighting at STAPLES Center again and on a card like this with great up and coming talent,” said Sugar Shane Mosley. “I am going to give Sergio, the younger guy, a chance to see what he can do. I am giving him the opportunity to see if he can take on a great warrior like me. Let’s see if he is going to be the Mexican star that can beat me on September 18 at STAPLES Center which is my boxing home.”

“On September 18, we will continue to celebrate the great heritage of Mexican and Mexican American boxing that historically takes place during Mexican Independence Day weekend,” said CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer. “These fighters are not just coming to win, but they are coming to win in an exciting and spectacular fashion in front of adoring and knowledgeable boxing fans.
