By Chris Williams: Earlier today I found that the September 18th fight between Shane Mosley and Sergio Mora will be a pay per view bout, which will go for around $50. I’ve always been a big fan of Mosley but he is 38-years-old now and has lost two out of his last four fights, including his last bout. Is this really an occasion to be selling his fight for $50 bucks? I don’t understand that. How can a fight involving Mosley, who just finished getting blanked by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a one-sided 12 round decision loss, be the main event in a PPV card?

And his opponent Mora has only fought once in the past year and was beaten in his fight before his last one by Vernon Forrest. I can understand paying big bucks to see Mora fight if he had won at least his last 10 fights or was maybe unbeaten, but the guy just got beat not too long ago and he’s done almost zero to redeem himself since the loss to Forrest. Mora beat some guy named Calvin Green in his last fight on April 3rd of this year, but I’d rather Mora have beaten a fighter I’ve heard of like Alfredo Angulo or Kermit Cintron.

I’m sorry, but since Mosley and Mora haven’t exactly been successful lately, I see this card as being a $2 card. I would say $5, but Mosley looked like an old man in losing his last fight to Mayweather. That loss wasn’t just because Mayweather is so great. Mosley looked totally gassed out after the 2nd round, and it was all he could do to throw a few meager punches each round. I mean, Mosley looked exhausted, like a 40-year-old.

The Mosley vs. Mora undercard has two nice mismatches on it with Victor Ortiz vs. Vivian Harris and Saul Alvarez vs. Carlos Baldomir. I don’t know about you, but I’m not into paying $50 to watch mismatches. I already know who’s going to win those fights. Baldomir is 39-years-old now and has lost three out of his last five fights. He’ll be facing the unbeaten Alvarez (33-0-1, 25 KO’s), and there is no way Baldomir is going to win this fight. If they wanted to pick an opponent for Alvarez, why didn’t they find someone a lot younger and someone who at least was still relevant for the welterweight division?

Baldomir is totally passed it and hasn’t defeated a top fighter since he stopped Arturo Gatti in the 9th round four years ago. It’s not interesting watching Alvarez beat up on a guy that’s pushing 40 and is losing more than he’s winning now.

I think Victor Ortiz (27-2-1, 21 KO’s) is good fighter, but I don’t see him as a future champion in the light welterweight division. I can’t see Ortiz ever beating Devon Alexander, Timothy Bradley or Marcos Maidana. Ortiz might be able to knock WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan out, but I doubt he’ll ever get a chance to fight him. Harris, 32, has lost two out of his last four fights. Ortiz is going to destroy Harris and it’s not even interesting. Maybe if I was drunk and flipping channels and saw it on ESPN, I’d watch it but I wouldn’t order it on PPV.
