Sometimes we all have high expectations these children that follow in their father’s foot steps as fighters they will be as good or better. Don’t get me wrong, Mosely Jr. is no slouch boxing, but he is not like his father. Mosely Jr.’s jab is excellent and he does move very well laterally when he fights. However, he throws a lot of leather, but I question his ability to fight the bigger giants in the super middleweight division. Mosely is an accumulative puncher with a twist of decent speed, but he does lack that “crack” in his arsenal of punches.
