K.O.W. - Pour Some Sugar on Me

Sugar Shane Mosley is back in action this Saturday for the first time since he finished off Ferocious Fernando Vargas last July. Sugar Shane will be stepping into the ring with Queens-born, Brooklyn-trained Luis Collazo, a product of the famed Starrett City Boxing Club. Collazo's most notable fight was a dubious loss to Ricky Hatton in May of last year, where he gave the Hit Man the fight of his life and sent him scurrying back to 140 with his tail between his legs.

Don's be surprised if Collazo serves similar notice to the aging Mosley, who is riding a possibly unwarranted high right now - unwarranted because the big wins that got him there came at the expense of a beloved but truly shot fighter, Vargas. There's no doubt that Sugar Shane is nowhere near the force he once was. That said, for the No Mas Knockout of the Week, I thought we'd go back and take a look at just how dangerous that force could be. This Sugar Shane knockout of Manuel Gomez from 1997 is sublime, a pure assassination of a punch. It's amazing how Gomez just crumples forward over Shane's shoulder - "like a sack of potatoes," the announcer says, which sums it up quite nicely.
