Official result: Shane Mosley Jr. def. Daniel Jacobs via unanimous decision (99-91, 99-91, 100-90)

Jacobs is showing every bit of his age and inactivity tonight, mostly getting worked over by Mosley Jr. Jacobs wants to do more than he's able, it seems.

Co-main event is up now as Daniel Jacobs makes his return to boxing to take on Shane Mosley Jr. Jacobs has just two fights since 2020 while Mosley Jr. has won four in a row since 2022.

Chris Avila def. Anthony Pettis via unanimous decision (58-56, 59-55, 59-55): Pettis and Avila go the distance and neither man was able to really do much of anything offensively. Avila was able to control much of the action with his jab and clinch work to prevent Pettis from getting off much offense. Not much else to say about this fight other than it's tough to expect much out of guys with this little experience.
