Mosley looks as though he doesn't want anymore. He's not getting out of his corner to start the round. That's it! It's over. Mosley appears content to move on and fight another day on Twitter. Any time a fighter simply turns his back and refuses to answer, it's clear that the referee has no choice but to call a halt to the action.
THE WINNER BY WAY OF TWEETKO IN THE 6TH ROUND...VANES MARTIROSYAN
