Over 12 dreadfully dull rounds, neither Sugar Shane Mosley nor Sergio Mora, champ from season one of "The Contender", did enough fighting to earn a victory ... so the judges sent them home with a draw. Scores were 116-112 for Mosley, 115-113 for Mora and 114-114 even. Mosley was the aggressor and landed 161-of-522 punches to only 93-of-508 for Mora, but it wasn't enough to impress the judges or the crowd, which booed throughout. Please, no rematch ...
The main event was a stinker but at least the crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles got to enjoy an action-packed undercard, with Victor Ortiz stopping Vivian Harris in the third round, 20-year-old Saul Alvarez scoring a sixth round KO of Carlos Baldomir, and Daniel Ponce De Leon stopping Antonio Escalante in three.

Styles make fights almost as much as determination. Mosley and Mora are completely decent guys who ended up in a terrible match. They are both capable, but had the wrong styles for each other to make an exciting fight. Both are careful, and both really seem to like each other in a respectful way. Time is moving on, and it still remains for Shane Mosley, one of the real greats of the sport, to demonstrate if he still can compete at the highest levels.
The Super Six is an interesting tournament but in the end Lucian Bute can beat any one of them.
