Reigning welterweight titlists Shane Mosley (WBA) and Andre Berto (WBC) will meet on January 30 in Las Vegas, live on HBO World Championship Boxing. This is one of the best matchups we're likely to see all year.
Mosley, 38, looked as good as he ever has as a welterweight in his dominant victory over Antonio Margarito one year ago. Berto, 26, is the rising star of the division, past a prospect but without that definite, arrival-announcing victory yet on his sheet. Like Mosley, Berto was at his best last January, when he beat Luis Collazo with a brilliant 12th round charge.
Here is a clip of the two of them sitting down with HBO's Max Kellerman to hype their showdown.
