Mosley and Johnson draw!

It was a case of déjà vu for Larry Mosley.  For the second consecutive fight, he traveled to his opponent's hometown and went home with a draw.   In Houston on Thursday, Mosley controlled many rounds with his quick snapping jab, tremendous handspeed and outside boxing versus Golden Johnson, but Johnson scored the advantage in an equal number of rounds via pressure and fighting on the inside and against the ropes.  After the fight, both sides, naturally, felt they deserved the victory, and expressed interest in rematching.  Let us hope that if a rematch occurs it isnt hidden off-tv, buried as a minor part of a non-boxing event, so that many more fans can enjoy this great match-up. The oficial scores 116-112 Mosley, 113-115 Johnson and 114-114. The welterweight bout was part of the Grand Prix Events promoted by Golden Boy Productions.
