Mosely decisions Cruz

By Wyatt Johnston

Shane Mosley won a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Jose Luis Cruz in his second fight back at welterweight since loding a junior middleweight rematch with Winky Wright.  Mosley wasn't his old self, but showed positive signs by throwing some good combinations, lead overhand rights, and leaping
left hooks.  Mosley got hit too many times by a very slow Cruz but still, he looks to still be adjusting to his move back to welterweight.  The official scorecards read 97-93, 98-92, 96-94, all of which werevery generous to Cruz, who may have lost every round. With the win, Mosley improves to 41-4 with 35 KOs, while Cruz gets his first loss and falls to 32-1-2 with 27 KOs.
