Mora held to draw by Ayala

The Boxingtalk Scoreboard

Alfonso Gomez W10 Ben Tackie... Three months after sending Arturo Gatti into retirement, Alfonso Gomez kept his career momentum going with a unanimous ten-round decision over tough but limited Ben Tackie. Gomez won the welterweight bout in Carson, California by scores of 97-93 and 98-92 (twice). He had to overcome swelling around his left eye that was caused by an unintentional headbutt, but had a 294-176 edge in punches landed. source: espn

Elvin Ayala D10 Sergio Mora... In recent interviews, Sergio Mora has defended his decision to turn down a big money world middleweight championship fight against Jermain Taylor earlier this year. He may want to rethink that decision after tonight, as he was held to a draw by Elvin Ayala in his first fight since making that career-altering decision. Ayala (18-2-1) was once considered a big prospect but lost twice to David Banks. This draw puts him back on the radar. source: espn
