Advice:
"Sugar" Shane Mosley (W41-L4-D0) has gone to the scorecards in all of his last seven fights and more of the same looks virtually assured in his Feb 25th WBA Light Middleweight Title Eliminator clash with former WBA & IBF champion "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas (W26-L2-D0).

Seasoned pro Mosley has fought 18 championship fights in his 13-year career, but has won only one of the last five, that coming against "Super Champion" Oscar De La Hoya (W37-L4-D0).

With age Mosley seems to be losing the snap to his power punches. Still ranked number one, he comes to the table with two clear-cut wins in 2005, but again looked as if there was no chance of finishing proceedings before the final bell.

Vargas had a similar 2005 chalking-up two scorecard wins, but prior to these two points victories you have to go back five years to find the last time he troubled the judges.

But similar comments to Mosley also apply to Vargas who openly appears to have lost some of his power.

Not for one minute did Vargas look to be able to stop either of his last two opponents, and now stepping-up "In Class" to fight the likes of battle-hardened Mosley he will definitely be looking for assistance from the score keepers.

With Bet & Win going 1.40 about this fight going into the 12th, their 1.60 offer about the fight going the full distance looks an absolute give-away. Small to medium stakes apply with this one.
