Greatest Classics

Le 08/05/2026

In this episode, the newly crowned IBF Lightweight World Champion, Shane Mosley, makes the first defense of the title he claimed from Phillip Holiday just three months earlier. He would face a tough competitor in Manuel Gomez of Laredo, Mexico, who would give the new champion a difficult test. Mosley was undefeated at the time, having won his first 24 contests, and was already showing signs of paving the way towards a historic career that would include wins over Oscar De la Hoya, Ricardo Mayorga, and Antonio Margarito. Greatest Classics is a series of historic bouts compiled from the long-running weekly series, USA Tuesday Night Fights. This series has been revered as the most valuable and comprehensive boxing series in the world and consistently produced the most extraordinary and exciting fights for over a decade.
