LAS VEGAS -- Shane Mosley will fight Andre Berto, the 26-year-old WBC welterweight champion, on Jan. 30 at The Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, a source familiar with the negotiations informed FanHouse on Thursday.

A deal for the matchup has been in the works for months, and it will be announced here on Saturday, the same day as WBO welterweight (147-pounds) champion, Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 knockouts) defends his crown against Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) at the MGM Grand Hotel.

If Alfredo Angulo looks like a serious fellow, it's because he is.

Ask him about boxing and he'll talk about things that might bore your accountant and put your trainer to sleep. There's maintaining weight, the importance of discipline, and, in training, living a life that Mother Teresa might find just a tad puritanical.

In the ring, he's no different. He has the guts to fight a bull while wearing red boxing trunks and a rebar-enforced punch that might leave that snorting sap seeing stars.

Shane Mosley knocked out Ricardo Mayorga with one second remaining in the 12th and final round Saturday night, showing that he still has some power left at age 37.

Even if Mayorga had lasted another second, Mosley would have won by decision, as two of the three judges had Mosley ahead going into the 12th round, and the third had Mayorga ahead by just one point.

Immediately after the fight, speculation began to turn to the possibility that Mosley could fight Antonio Margarito next. Margarito, generally recognized as the best welterweight in the world, was sitting at ringside.
