CARSON // The former world champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley knocked out Ricardo Mayorga near the end of the 12th round in a non-title light middleweight bout. Mosley, 37, connected with a flurry of punches to floor down his opponent. Mayorga climbed off the canvas but within seconds was flattened again, this time for a knockout confirmed at two minutes, 59 seconds of the final round. After 11 rounds, the judges had the four-times world champion Mosley winning in a split decision. "I felt him getting weaker during the fight but he was trying to stay strong," said Mosley, whose record is now 45-5 with 38 knockouts.
Mosley landed far more punches, doing serious damage to his Nicaraguan opponent in the sixth round, although the effort appeared to take a lot out of the eventual winner. Both fighters believed they were winning the fight going into the final round. "I thought I was doing well and I came out to win in the 12th round and he caught me," said the chain-smoking Mayorga. "I will tell you one thing - he hit harder than I thought he would. He took some good shots but I wore him down," said Mosley.
Mosley wants to fight the winner of the rematch between the WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto but not before lining up another fight in between. Mayorga, 35, may consider retirement. On the same bill, the undefeated Andre Berto defended his WBC welterweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Steve Forbes. Berto, 25, now 23-0 with 19 knockouts, outpunched Forbes, 31, in the longest fight of his career. Edgar Sosa defended his WBC light flyweight title with a 12-round points win over Sonny Boy Jaro in Mexico City while, in Hamburg, Guillermo Jones stopped Firat Arslan in the 10th round to claim the WBA cruiserweight title at the Color Arena.

Quick pearls of wisdom
Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”
Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”

Other ways to buy used products in the UAE
UAE insurance firm Al Wathba National Insurance Company (AWNIC) last year launched an e-commerce website with a facility enabling users to buy car wrecks.
Bidders and potential buyers register on the online salvage car auction portal to view vehicles, review condition reports, or arrange physical surveys, and then start bidding for motors they plan to restore or harvest for parts.
Physical salvage car auctions are a common method for insurers around the world to move on heavily damaged vehicles, but AWNIC is one of the few UAE insurers to offer such services online.
For cars and less sizeable items such as bicycles and furniture, Dubizzle is arguably the best-known marketplace for pre-loved.
Founded in 2005, in recent years it has been joined by a plethora of Facebook community pages for shifting used goods, including Abu Dhabi Marketplace, Flea Market UAE and Arabian Ranches Souq Market while sites such as The Luxury Closet and Riot deal largely in second-hand fashion.
At the high-end of the pre-used spectrum, resellers such as Timepiece360.ae, WatchBox Middle East and Watches Market Dubai deal in authenticated second-hand luxury timepieces from brands such as Rolex, Hublot and Tag Heuer, with a warranty.
