On February 25th, “Sugar Shane” Mosley (42-4, 36 KOs, 1 NC)  and ‘Ferocious’ Fernando Vargas (26-3, 22 KOs) gave fight fans an unforgettable night.  But there’s another chapter to be written in this saga as Mosley and Vargas will meet again on Saturday, July 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Mosley vs. Vargas II will be presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Main Events and broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View.

 

The biggest announcement of the day was the return of Shane's Dad, Jack Mosley to Sugar's corner. The last time we saw the elder Mosley working in his son's corner was during his loss to Winky Wright. With Shane's latest trainer, John David Jackson, working with Bernard Hopkins for his upcoming bout with Antonio Tarver, Shane felt the best man to fill the void would be his Father. "John David made a prior commitment. My father will be able to pick up the slack," Mosley said. "My father is the only one who really knows my style and how I fight."

Jack commented, "We have a special bond," he said. "When he asked me to come back to train him, I said it would be great.....I will train him like I have always trained him. I'm close to my son and will give it my all."

 

The pieces are in place for the rematch, and this is a bout that should not be missed.
