Shane Mosley vs Sergio Mora
Los Angeles – Shane Mosley and Sergio Mora fought in the main event Saturday night at Staples Center, but many of the mostly Hispanic fans who packed the arena for Golden Boy Promotions’ Mexican bicentennial celebration card came to see phenom Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, one of Mexico’s most popular fighters.
The 20-year-old gave them what they came for in the co-feature as he erased former welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir with a crushing sixth-round knockout in their junior middleweight bout.
Alvarez dominated the much slower Baldomir, 39, until unloading on him in the sixth round. As the raucous crowd was chanting: “Canelo! Canelo! Canelo,” Alvarez landed a flush left hook to Baldomir’s chin. He fell face first, hitting his face on the mat with a loud thud. Baldomir tried in vain to beat the count, but referee Jose Cobian counted him out at 2 minutes, 58 seconds, and the crowd erupted again.
