Daniel Jacobs vs. Shane Mosley Jr. Set for Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal Card

Jacobs hasn't been in action since he dropped a split decision to John Ryder back in February 2022. It wasn't a good showing for the former world champion, who needed a decent enough performance after nearly being defeated by Gabriel Rosado in late 2020.
Many are wondering if Jacobs has anything left in the tank at this point.
As for Mosley Jr., he'll be looking for the biggest win of his pro boxing career. He's hoping to have found a spark with his four-fight winning streak. While he hasn't come anywhere close to his father in terms of pedigree, he has turned out to be a serviceable boxer with a record of 21-4.
Can Mosley Jr. reach a higher level than many are anticipating at this point?
