By Dan Ambrose: One of the sparring partners that WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) has been using to get ready for his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) next month on September 14th is Shane Mosley Jr., the son of former three division world champion Shane Mosley.
Why Canelo would choose to use the 6’1”, 165 lb. Mosley Jr. to get ready for the 5’8”, 150 lb. Mayweather is anyone’s guess.
Mosley Sr. told RingTV “They’re doing pretty good. He’s sparred with him like four times in Big Bear already, and he’s doing good. Canelo’s been there about two weeks now, maybe.”
