He will be matched with someone within his weight and experience level. He might box someone with 0-6 bouts. I frankly don't expect him to be at the elite level, or even close, in his first bout. I'll try and find out when and where and be there so I can report back.

Huey - having Shane, Sr. for a trainer has to be a plus. :D Whether or not he has his dad's talent remains to be seen.

That isn't always true. Some kids are better than their dads, while others aren't quite as good. Joe Frazier's kids weren't as good as him, but they weren't bad. Floyd Jr. has done better than his dad, but Floyd Sr. was a good boxer. Laila Ali is a good boxer, but her dad was an all-time great. The list goes on and on. If the father was great, it is hard for the kid to live up to all the hype.

I agree with most of the above. I can't say anything about Cobb b/c I have not seen him box. The kids do take heat though b/c the name recognition gives them advantages other boxers don't get. So the extra scrutiny comes with the extra benefits.

Anybody nearby that can attend this event and give us a scouting report on Mosley Jr?

MOSLEY'S SON TO ENTER THE RING

Woodland Hills, CA. to host amateur show

Press Release: On Friday, June 13, 2008 at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California, Celt Boxing Club in association with A Frostchild Production plays host to “Celt Fight Night.” IBF light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver, and former multi-division champions “Sugar” Shane Mosley and James “Lights Out” Toney are scheduled to meet fans, sign autographs, and watch the amateur bouts.

Those in attendance will have the privilege of witnessing “Sugar” Shane Mosley at work in the ring. However, Mosley will not be lacing up the gloves himself. Instead, Mosley will be the one lacing the gloves up for his son, “Sugar” Shane Mosley Jr. as the Golden Boy conqueror works his son’s corner in a middleweight rematch against Thelsey “Fearless” Fuller. When these two fought before, it was a war, and sparks are certain to fly again when the bell sounds to release their fury once again.

Another featured bot will see Jibreel “The Real Deal” King take on Sam “The Man” Lopez in a light heavyweight battle of strength and determination.

With the buzz that surrounds Friday night’s main event, James “Lights Out” Toney will take the night off preparing for his rematch against Hasim Rahman, to watch his protégé and sparring partner, Karim "The Dream" Williams. This promising super heavyweight goes up against Mike "The Black Panther" Lester in what is certain to be a battle between two giants with a combined weight of over 600 pounds.

Get your tickets now by going to http://www.celtboxing.com or calling 818-268-8957. You may also email your request to [email protected]

Pierce College is located at: 6201 Winnetka Avenue, Woodland Hills, California 91371.

Unfortunately, it's a Friday night and with So. Cal. rush hour traffic, would take us several hours to get there so we aren't going. Jr. has been boxing in "closed - high school" bouts only. I don't know why he hasn't competed in a regular local show - he'd get more experience and better competition. Next time I see Sr. I'll ask him. I think this will be Jr.'s second bout.

Jr. gets one bout at a show. The closed high school shows are fairly frequent, but I don't see why he's only boxing there. Have no idea why Sr. is doing this. Jr. probabably won't be open for awhile - he has to turn 17 and have 11 or more bouts.

One aspect of this forum that I really like it the clear, concise and in-depth comments and opinions made.

Shane Mosley, Sr. is one of the nicest people in the world and has been his entire boxing career. As long as I've known him (21 years), he has never been delusional.

Shane Mosley is an incredibly nice man who happens to also be one of the most skilled fighters in the world. Deluded?! Ok. You have clearly never met the man. He also has more heart than most fighters today. He goes right back in with anyone and yet never has a bad word to say about anyone.

Getting back to the topic - Shane Mosley Jr. won by RSC-3. The people at Celtic Boxing actually sent me some pictures, but I have the slightest idea how to post them. If somebody can/or is allowed, I can forward them via email. Drop me a PM.

You can see a video of the entire show at <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCj4Ki0EySk>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCj4Ki0EySk

In watching Juniors bout - I'm not impressed. It was sloppy on the part of both boxers and I really don't know why the referee stopped it, but in looking at the bout again, it appears Mosley's opponent gave up after being pushed against the ropes and mauled. Jr. didn't hurt his opponent. As I said in a previous thread, I doubt that we'll know if Jr. is good or not until he starts participating in local shows where the boxers have varying degrees of experience, skills and talent. As long as he continues to participate in closed shows with boxers who aren't any better or worse than he is, he won't learn and get better.
