On Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas (USA), the spotlight will shine on a decisive showdown: Jesús “Mono” Ramos Jr. will face Shane Mosley Jr. for the vacant WBC Interim Middleweight Title (160 lb). The bout is part of the major PBC on Prime Video event, streamed live for international audiences.
The ring will host two fighters on very different trajectories: on one side, a rising young contender determined to use every weapon at his disposal; on the other, a seasoned veteran seeking redemption and recognition. The matchup promises intensity, with extremely high stakes for both men.
Jesús Ramos Jr. — the rising young contender
With a record of 23-1 (19 KOs), Ramos has built his career on power and relentless aggression. After a tough setback in 2023 — a highly disputed bout against Erickson Lubin — the Mexican fighter responded with determination and clarity. In 2024 and 2025, he secured two important knockout victories over Jeison Rosario and Guido Emmanuel Schramm, reaffirming his status as a top contender in the middleweight picture.
His move to 160 pounds is a strategic decision: more weight equals potentially greater punching impact. Ramos enters this challenge with solid fundamentals — an effective jab, constant pressure, and the stated intention to finish the fight inside the distance. For him, this bout is not just another step forward but a potential breakthrough moment and the beginning of a new phase in his career.
Shane Mosley Jr. — experience in search of redemption
Shane Mosley Jr. arrives in San Antonio with a record of 22-4 (12 KOs). Despite the obstacles of recent years, the second-generation fighter has shown clear signs of revival: a five-fight winning streak, including a notable victory over former champion Daniel Jacobs. This run has restored his confidence and his competitive position in the division.
Taller than Ramos and with a longer reach, Mosley can draw on experience, reach advantage and tactical discipline. This opportunity represents one of his last major chances to re-establish himself: a win would place him back in the spotlight and silence the criticism surrounding his ranking. For a fighter with his background, the value of this match goes far beyond the belt itself.
