Sergio Mora vs. Peter Quillin possible

by

mora1By Allan Fox: Former WBC light middleweight champion Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (25-3-2, 8 KO’s) has a chance of facing WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (30-0, 22 KO’s) next, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN and Steve Kim. Quillin, 30, needs a well known opponent for his next title defense, and the #10 WBA Mora definitely serves that purpose given his vast experience during his 14-year pro career.

Quillin is coming off of a 10th round stoppage win over challenger Gabriel Rosado last October in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The fight was halted due to a cut that Rosado had suffered. However, Rosado was really taking the fight to Quillin at the time of the stoppage, and he had shaken Quillin up in the 9th round with some big shots.

Sergio Mora v Grzegorz Proksa: ESPN FNF Preview

by

proksa333By Sevak Sarkisian: Former WBC JR. Middleweight champion Sergio Mora will make his return to the ring on June 28th against former European Middleweight Champion and world title challenger Grzegorz Proksa.

Many fans in America are very familiar with Mora given the fact that he was the winner of the contender tv show during the shows first season. He has also been fighting on ESPN for many years. Mora (23-3-2-7KO’s) possesses good boxing skills and has very good height and reach for a Jr. Middleweight/Middleweight fighter. He is a slick fighter with decent hand speed and moves around well in the ring. Even though Mora is of Mexican decent, he does not fight in the typical Mexican come forward style.

Sergio Mora vs. Grzegorz Proksa on June 28th in Jacksonville, Florida

proksa333By Allan Fox: Former WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio “Latin Snake” Mora (23-3-2, 7 KO’s) will be taking a dangerous fight this month against 28-year-old former EBU middleweight champion Grzegorz Proksa (29-2, 21 KO’s) in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Veteran’s Coliseum in Jacksonville, Florida. Mora has lost two out of his last three fights, both to Brian Vera. Mora badly needs a win over Proksa to try and get back into the thick of things in the middleweight division because he’s been out of the picture for a long time.

Proksa was beaten last September by WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin by a 5th round TKO. Proksa was able to land some hard shots on Golovkin, but he couldn’t take his own big punches in return and ended up getting dropped three times in the fight before it was halted in the 5th round.

Sergio Mora: Golovkin has never faced anyone like me

Image: Sergio Mora: Golovkin has never faced anyone like meBy Dan Ambrose: Light hitting former WBC light middleweight champion Sergio Mora (23-3-2, 7 KO’s) wants to get a title shot against WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) and he thinks he can take him down if given the opportunity.

Mora said “I know Gennady hasn’t lost as a professional, but he has never fought anyone on my level.”

Mora, 31, sounds like he really needs a title shot right about now. He’s lost three out of his last six fights and hasn’t beaten a world class opponent since his upset victory over an out of shape Vernon Forrest four years ago in June 2008. That’s a long time between important wins, and it’s cost Mora him his ranking in the top 15. Mora is no longer ranked in the top 15 by any of the sanctioning bodies and that makes a lot of sense. How can the sanctioning bodies have Mora ranked when he’s been beaten in two out of his last three fights.

Vera looks good in beating Mora, don’t count on Pavlik fighting him

By Dan Ambrose: Middleweight puncher Bryan Vera (18-5, 11 KO’s) showed why he was able to stop highly hyped middleweight contender Andy Lee in the 7th round three years ago in 2008 last night when he pounded out an impressive 10 round decision over former WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio Mora (22-2-2, 6 KO’s) at the Convention Center, in Fort Worth, Texas. Vera, 29, showed excellent power in his right hand and was able stay on top of Mora all night long and wear him down with heavy pressure.

Mora, 30, needs to win and look good so that he can make up for his last performance on network television when he spent too much time running and holding against Shane Mosley and had to settle for a disappointing 12 round draw in September 2010.
