Shane Mosley Jr - hopes to extend his win given by his legendary heritage

Shane Mosley Jr. is the son of boxing legend Shane Mosley, and he has inherited his father's fighting abilities. Shane Mosley Jr. has won three straight fights in the 14 months since his loss to Jason Quigley. Mosley Jr. has a 20-4 (11 KO) record going into this match. Five months and twenty-two days have passed since his last fight, a seventh-round technical knockout victory over D'Mitrius Ballard. But before the KO, he was having some difficulties. He was dropping rounds and was unable to stop Ballard from body-switching him. Mosley isn't known as a powerful hitter, but 55% of his victories have been by knockout, and he has gone the distance in three of his previous four fights and five of his last seven. Mosley Jr. has four losses on his record. In his third professional fight, Mosley lost to Marchristopher Adkins by a four-round split decision. In 2017, he lost to David Toussaint by an eight-round split decision. In 2018, he lost to Brandon Adams by a 10-round unanimous decision, and in 2021, he lost to Jason Quigley by a 10-round majority decision for the vacant WBO NABO middleweight title. Regarding professional titles, in February 2021, Mosley successfully defended the vacant WBO NABO Super Middleweight Title by stopping Cristian Olivas in five rounds. The most challenging exams he has taken so far are Adams, Ballard, Quigley, and Gabriel Rosado. 

Joshua Conley - the Underdog

Joshua Conley has won 14 times, lost four times, and tied once as a professional. He isn't the favorite going into this fight, but he could pull off an upset. Although Conley has beaten Cesar Vila, Juan Manuel Mares, and Antonio Urista, only 10 of his 23 opponents have a winning record, and five of them have beaten him. Conley's only draw on record is a six-round fight with Juan Carlos Sanchez in 2013. With the exception of his victory over Curtis Stevens, Conley has struggled when facing opponents from higher weight classes, losing to Adames, Williams, and Derevyanchenko, all of whom are excellent boxers. Furthermore, Conley hasn't been as busy as Mosley Jr. in the past five years, and losing two straight fights doesn't help anyone when going up against someone who just had a big win in their last fight.

Expert Betting Tips

Shane Mosley Jr. is the favorite going into this fight, but Joshua Conley could pull off a surprise. Using his devastating blows to his advantage, Mosley Jr. will be a danger to his opponent. Conley, on the other hand, will try to get around Mosley Jr. and land some quick punches by using his speed and quickness. Recently, Mosley has been very good, and he is facing an opponent who has lost his last two fights. Mosley should not underestimate Conley, though, because he is strong enough to make things tough for Mosley. But Mosley has the skills and strength to win if he is willing to put in the work. The fight is likely to be very close, and it could go either way. I think the fight will go the full distance, and Shane Mosley Jr. will win by majority decision based on their past records and the way they fight.
