Boxing Match Preview: Jesus Ramos (23-1-0, 19 KO) vs. Shane Mosley Jr (22-4-0, 12 KOs)
The middleweight division’s next star could emerge from this PBC on Prime Video PPV co-feature as undefeated prospect Jesus “El Mono” Ramos Jr. (23-1, 19 KOs) challenges veteran contender Shane Mosley Jr. (22-4, 12 KOs) for the vacant WBC interim title on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Ramos, the 24-year-old southpaw phenom from Casa Grande, Arizona, ranked No. 5 by the WBC at 154 pounds but jumping to 160, seeks his first world strap after a controversial loss to Erickson Lubin in 2023 derailed his ascent. His blistering power (83% KO rate) and aggressive jab have yielded three straight stoppages, but the weight bump and Mosley’s experience test his maturity. Mosley Jr., the 34-year-old orthodox son of Hall of Famer Shane Mosley, enters after a 17-month layoff, riding a five-fight win streak capped by a gritty decision over faded ex-champ Daniel Jacobs in June 2024. Ranked No. 6 by the WBC, his slick defense and resilience shine, but four career defeats—including a rout to Brandon Adams in 2018—highlight vulnerabilities to pressure. This 12-round unification eliminator—reshuffled from October due to Sebastian Fundora’s injury—pits Ramos’ youth and firepower against Mosley’s savvy and heart, with the winner eyeing WBC king Carlos Adames in a potential 2026 clash.

Injury Report
Both fighters report fully fit after clean weigh-ins at 160 lbs, with no active concerns per Thursday medicals. The October postponement stemmed from main eventer Sebastian Fundora’s injury, not these combatants—Ramos fought twice in 50 days earlier this year without issue, while Mosley’s 17-month hiatus was voluntary (post-Jacobs win). Ramos had minor hand swelling after his March TKO of Guido Schramm (resolved by April); Mosley tweaked a shoulder in camp (cleared November). Standard rehydration expected, but peak conditioning confirmed.

| Jesus Ramos | Cleared | Minor hand swelling (post-Schramm TKO, Mar. 2025; resolved Apr. 2025) |
| Shane Mosley Jr. | Cleared | Shoulder tweak (camp, Oct. 2025; resolved Nov. 2025); no fight-related issues in 17-month layoff |
