Professional career

Although he had won his next bout (changed to a No Contest on appeal to the California State Athletic Commission on August 7) against Canadian Kirk Johnson in March 2006 in his comeback trail. Mora appeared to have accidentally stepped on Johnson's foot, causing Johnson to dislocate his knee. This decision was subsequently appealed and the result later changed.[1]

He fought Sultan Ibragimov on 2 weeks notice at Madison Square Garden on March 13, 2007 and referee had stopped at the 46 seconds of the first round when Mora wasn't firing back.[2]

On March 13, 2010 he fought Alexander Povetkin only to lose on a fifth round technical knockout over Mora. In the 5th round, he had Mora cornered, launched a massive combination and sent Mora sprawling to the floor for a third time, at which time the referee waved off the bout.[3]
