Mosley Focused
"When Robinson called and said he wanted Shane to fight Davis, I said to myself 'What's the play?'" said Mosley's father and trainer, Jack Mosley.
"Everyone says that Robinson is a tricky businessman, so I picked up the phone and spoke to him.
After talking it through I realized two things, where in the world can Shane get this type of exposure? and secondly, maybe Robinson's not as bad as they make out, he's just trying to get his pal some work - and that's the reason why we took the fight."
Mosley, the fighter, was willing to oblige.
"The reason I'm motivated for Aaron Davis is the big picture," Mosley said. "It's not going to be a walk in the park and I know the significance of this is tremendous."
