Shane Mosley campaigns against dogfighting in new PETA ad

Shane Mosley, the current world welterweight champion, showed his soft spot as he poses for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to support the group's campaign against dog fighting.

Shane Mosley's new PETA ad campaign

The latest PETA ad which features "Sugar" Shane Mosley has the caption "I Choose to Fight. Dogs Don't. Dogfighting is for Cowards. Don't Do It."

Mosley's PETA campaign also includes a 25-second public service announcement for television.

On the video, Mosley delivered this message:

"My opponents and I know that when we step into the ring, we choose to be there and that if we don't come out on top, we can at least walk away. Dogfighting isn't like that, it is dirty, it's cruel, and it's a loser's game."

The PETA came a few days before Mosley's fight against Pacquiao this May 8th. Would this give him more fans?

We all know that the much-awaited fight of pound-for-pound boxing champ Manny Pacquiao against American boxer Shane Mosley will be held on May 8, 2011 (Philippine Time). But what is the exact time that the WBO Welterweight fight of Pacquiao and Mosley would start?

According to reports, the event will start at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on May 7. Since we are in the Philippines where our time is 13 hours ahead than EST, we only need to add an hour in EST and change p.m. to a.m. or vice versa. And so, the Pacquiao-Mosley fight will start at 10 a.m. in the Philippines on May 8.

But then there are still undercard fights before the main fight. As in previous fights of Pacquiao, we still have to wait until around noontime to witness the main event, the Pacquiao vs Mosley Tale of the Tape WBO welterweight fight.

Here are the fights to be held on May 8, 2011:

Pier Cote (14-0) vs. Aris Ambriz (15-1-1)

Kelly Pavlik (36-2) vs. Alfonso Lopez (21-0)

Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (20-0-1) vs. Jorge Arce (56-6-2), WBO Jr Featherweight belt

Mike Alvarado (29-0) vs. Ray Narh (25-1), Light welterweights

Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2) vs. Shane Mosley (46-6-1), WBO Welterweight belt
