Shane Mosley, the former three time world champion lost his WBA welterweight title fight against Miguel Angel Cotto at Madison Square Garden in New York City by a 12-round unanimous decision on November 10, 2007. In a nip and tuck fight, CompuBox had both boxers landing the same number of punches; Mosley (32%) 248 of 774 and Cotto (37%) 248 of 675. The scores came in at 115-113, 115-113 and 116-113 all for Cotto. Mosley gave Cotto credit saying that he is way to greatness, that he is a strong, powerful pressure fighter that can box. Mosley, who is Oscar De La Hoya's partner in Golden Boy Promotions may consider retiring to promote fulltime. This was Mosley's first loss since 2004, having won his last five fights. Recently an agreement has been reached for a fight between Mosely and Zab Judah on May 31, 2008 in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay. Judah's Nevada boxing license was reinstated so the fight could take place. But on May 8th it was announced that Judah slipped in the shower and his right arm went through the glass door requiring 50 stitches to close it up so the fight has been cancelled.
