Mosley (47-8-1, 39 KOs) defeated Cano (26-3-1, 20 KOs) by a close but unanimous decision of 115-113.
In the process Mosley claimed the vacant WBC International welterweight title. Now Golden Boy is likely to put Mosley in line for a title shot.

The matchup is so awful that when it was first proposed ShowTime or HBO refused to televise it. Sugar Shane Mosley, although a legend, is beyond shot. In all his fights lately he tenses up and barley throws punches. Even Paulie Malignaggi, who himself is past his prime and a B level fighter, would not stoop as low to fight Sugar Shane.
