Expect a September heat wave when former lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley (44-5, 37 KOS) stands toe-to-toe with Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga (28-6-1, 22 KOS), one of boxing's most animated fighters, in a 12-round junior middleweight bout. In his first fight in Southern California since 2000, Pomona, Cal., native Mosley returns to the ring in search of another title shot. A native of Managua, Nicaragua, Mayorga hasn't fought since handling Fernando Vargas last November. He's never ducked a challenge, having tangled with Vernon Forrest, Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya.
In the opening bout, newly crowned welterweight titleholder Andre Berto (22-0, 19 KOS) defends his belt against crafty veteran Steve Forbes (33-6, 9 KOS) in a 12-round, 147-pound tilt. Florida native Berto captured his first title by defeating never-before KO'd Miki Rodriguez in June, scoring his 19th knockout in just 22 fights. Las Vegas resident Forbes is a formidable contender who elevated his status significantly last May when he went the distance against Oscar De La Hoya.

When a powerful young champion and devastating knock-out artist meets a future Hall of Fame boxing legend and two-division world champion who has never been knocked out, there will be plenty of debate and speculation as to who will win. That will definitely be the case when Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik faces Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins in a light heavyweight battle at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall on Saturday October 18.
