    Mosley/Alvarez a little light on action so far.

    Mosley is holding his own against Alvarez. The fight is going to be close.

    Thumping punches towards the end of the sixth from Alvarez.

    Alvarez up by at least two rounds through six; never know with the way things are judged these days.

    Alvarez is a rock. When he covers up, Mosley's punches don't move him one mm.

    Alvarez starting to increase pressure on Mosley in the 7th.

    Alvarez is f.a.s.t.

    Mosley looking a little desperate late in the round.

    Mosley went from attack mode to survival mode in the 7th.

    Alvarez takes his time and attacks when he feels like it. Whenever he does, he connects. He's bleeding from his left eye.

    Good to watch a fight without Jim Lampley calling it.

    Mosley is still coming forward. Great test for Alvarez thus far.

    Mosley wins the 8th? Could be. Alvarez's punches were better but in shorter supply.

    Alvarez hunting Mosley at the end of the 9th. Loads of body shots.

    Snapping left uppercut from Alvarez checks Mosley's chin--he hits him right back.

    The fight has been better than I think most expected.

    Alvarez landing so many power shots. Just hit an uppercut that brought Mosley's feet off the ground.

    Fight over?

    Hmm strange, overheard someone saying "Shane's corner wants me to stop the fight" but both men answer the bell. WTF?

    Both guys planting their feet and throwing mostly power shots in the 11th.

    Mosley's represented himself well tonight. He won't win the fight but he did better than just survive for the most part.

    Nice of boxing to have an undercard. Wonder where they got that idea from?

    Mosley's face looks awful, like he's had an allergic reaction to a bee sting.

    Alvarez's cut (headbutt/third) hasn't gotten much worse. Good work from his cut man.
