Just clownin', son.

Chucho didn't impress me against Olivares though. He was well beaten.

Just about to watch Harada-Rose.

[Flea Man]

What about in the bout where he beats Olivares?!?!?!?!?

[Flea Man]

And that's a good one for Rose...less so for Masahiko!

I haven't seen it, but stopped due to a cut? Bleurgh.

Interesting about Rose beating Harada. Rose was obliterated by Olivares.

[Flea Man]

Stopped with Fenech, against the ropes, taking a battering to the body. After Zarate had hauled himself off the deck no less.

Harada left 118 afterwards, and Rose was in his peak, a phenom. Bit shaky chin wise though but what a left hand.

[Addie]

Two rounds in...Rose looks incredible. Like...amazing.

It's still worth watching!

Fuck, this fight is compelling.

Skill level between the two is off the scale. I actually had Harada narrowly ahead after 8 rounds. Rose's punches are so sharp. World class stuff.

[Flea Man]

I'm so glad your enjoying it!

[Flea Man]

Check out Rose Vs Rudkin when you're done; another superb 15 round clash!!!

I have Rose comfortably ahead now, but every round is still competitive. Harada has been getting there with his right hand more but he needs to close the distance. Rose dominates at mid to long range. Looks like a completely different fighter that fought Olivares.

[Flea Man]

He was done making 118 by that time. Parnassus offered Rose a fair whack to defend against Olivares' I think. Always would've been the outcome though.

But not mentally - he was not the same unstoppable machine anymore.

I'd say pre-Gomez Zarate probably could stop Pintor somewhere in the championship rounds in a hard fight.

It's a tough task though.
