Ronald Winky Wright v Sugar Shane Mosley
But this time he only won by a majority decision and a third showdown for the WBA and WBC light-middleweight titles may be on the cards.
Wright had dominated the first encounter back in March to claim a surprise victory.
But the rematch at the Mandalay Bay Casino was a hard-fought battle that was in the balance all the way.
Wright’s jab ensured he built up an early lead.
But Wright made the mistake of inviting Mosley on in the second half of the bout.
Mosley took the initiative and had Wright wincing with a seies of devastating body punches.
Another onslaught in the eighth appeared to hurt the champion once again.
Wright returned to working behind his jab but the decision still appeared likely to swing either way.
But in a scrappy, final round Wright gained the edge and held on to get nod from the judges 115-113, 115-113, 114-114.
