ITS WINKY WRIGHT BY MAJORITY DECISION

By Scott Shaffer

Winky Wright has retained the junior middleweight championship of the world by majority decision over former champion Shane Mosley in Las Vegas on Saturday.  The official scores were 114-114 and 115-113 (twice).  The HBO broadcast team had Wright winning easily. The truth was probably somewhere in between: Mosley was more competitive than in their first bout but Wright's victory was well-deserved. Compubox had Wright outlanding Mosley 273-154. Wright wants Felix Trinidad next, while Mosley thought he deserved the decision and told HBO's Larry Merchant he will likely remain at 154 pounds. source: HBO

In his  pro debut, Ronald Johnson opened the Mandalay Bay card by stopping Cromwell Gordon, 0-2, in round four after  two rounds of body shots which caused Cromwell's corner to  throw in the towel.  Johnson is trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr. source: publicist Fred Sternburg @ ringside in Vegas
