===Mayorga vs. Mosley===
In August 2008, it was announced that [[Shane Mosley]] (44–5-0) would fight at [[light middleweight]] against Mayorga. The fight was to take place at [[Home Depot Center]] in California on September 27, 2008. The first time since 2000 that Mosley would fight in his home state. The fight was for the vacant WBA Inter-Continental light middleweight title.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.doghouseboxing.com/DHB/DHBPr0805f08.htm|title=Shane Mosley vs Ricardo Mayorga Official Update|website=www.doghouseboxing.com|access-date=2017-04-07}}</ref> Mosley was guaranteed $1 million. During the first three rounds of the bout, the harder puncher appeared to be Mayorga, who landed right hands from long range. Mayorga's roughhousing mixed with his usual showboating antics seemed to bother Mosley, who appeared more uncomfortable and agitated. In recklessly lunging in with wild power shots of his own, Mosley wound up falling into more clinches and getting caught with punches he should have avoided. Mosley settled down and found the distance in the 4th round and took the next three rounds by timing Mayorga with overhand rights that landed and occasionally following up with short hooks and single body shots. Mosley continued with right hands in the seventh and eighth rounds. Mosley was able to land single power shots in the late rounds, but threw very few combinations. At times Mayorga beat Mosley to the punch with lead right hands. Near the end of the eleventh round, Mosley landed a right hand that splattered blood from Mayorga's mouth. With less than a minute left in the bout, put Mayorga down on his hands and knees. Mayorga got up on unsteady legs; Mosley stepped in with a short, lead left hook that put Mayorga flat on his back at the bell, resulting in the referee waving the bout off. At the time of stoppage, two judges had Mosley ahead with scored of 107-102 and 105–104, whilst the third judge had Mayorga ahead 105–104. Had the fight gone to scorecards, Mosley would have won via unanimous decision due to the last round being a 10–7.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fights/2008/09-27-shane-mosley-vs-ricardo-mayorga/|title=HBO: Boxing: Shane Mosely vs. Ricardo Mayorga|website=HBO|access-date=2017-03-23|archive-date=2017-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170407234055/http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fights/2008/09-27-shane-mosley-vs-ricardo-mayorga/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.boxing.com/shane_mosley_vs_ricardo_mayorga.html|title=Shane Mosley vs. Ricardo Mayorga – Boxing.com|website=www.boxing.com|access-date=2017-03-23|archive-date=2017-04-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170408081915/http://www.boxing.com/shane_mosley_vs_ricardo_mayorga.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/shane-mosley-kos-ricardo-mayorga-final-12th-article-1.323280|title=Shane Mosley KOs Ricardo Mayorga in final second of 12th round|work=NY Daily News|access-date=2017-03-23}}</ref>
