boxing: old timer's night

'Sugar' Shane Mosely vs 'Ferocious' Fernando Vargas goes down tonight.

I was ready to check it out, but our PPV venue fell through and Pelf isn't coming up so I'll be at my brother in laws BBQ instead.

It's still a compelling bout between two guys at roughly the same spot in the downward spiral of their careers. Fernando is bigger, Shane is less shot....a toss up fight IMHO. I'm picking El Feroz by decision in spite of his cracked chin- Shane hasn't KO'ed anyone of note since leaving 135 and this fight is at 154, where he's never looked good.

Bonus weigh in picture- doesn't it look like someone is trying to pull of Nando's head with an invisible rope?
