Boxing witnessed one of its biggest upsets ever on Saturday night when underdog Shane Mosley shockingly upset Antonio ‘Tijuana Tornado’ Margarito to win the WBA welterweight championship belt. It was 9th round TKO for Mosely who was the aggressor from the opening bell.

Despite his advancing age, the 37-year-old Mosley used his superior quickness from the beginning, and Margarito never was able to display the power and fortitude he showed against Cotto.

“It was my strategy, my focus, my game plan,” Mosley said when asked what won the fight. It was a tough fight, but it was a great plan. It was my left hook. I caught [Fernando] Vargas with it, I caught [Richardo] Mayorga with it.

“He’s a tough fighter, he had a lot of endurance. I prepared very hard, I trained hard. He was very powerful, but he couldn’t resist my rhythm.”

‘Sugar Shane’ improves to 46-5 with 39 knockouts.  The ‘Tijuana Tornado’ falls to 37-6 with 27 knockouts.

The fight took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles before an announced crowd of 20,820.
