Well I for one I ain't buying all his bullsh!t about weight in that last IFL interview. :nono Not saying I dislike him but something about the cut of his jib doesn't sit right with me.
He says he killed himself stripping off the last 4 pounds to make LMW and that affected his punch resistance... suppose we'll find out if he's right tonight. Thing with Rose is, he wasn't a big puncher at LMW and he'll be less so up at MW.
Lot of the hate comes from him getting the shot even though just about everyone had maciel winning that fight (not Ross's fault admittedly, earn with Hearn etc), but for me he acted like a **** prior to the Andrade fight and seems to think he's at world level because he had a world title shot when in reality he should never have got that fight as he was in way over his head (not as if he should have turned it down), bit like Paul smith has been recently since the Abraham fight thinking he's above rocky fielding, when in reality he'd probably lose that fight. And like Paul smith, failing to make a higher weight limit than normal, the look on Bobby rimmers face post weigh in said it all
I think Rose is being found out again. He can box but he needs a punch and 8 stoppages in 26 wins shows that he's lacking. He'll do well to win this now, his nose looks a mess.
Carson Jones is nowhere near as bad as a lot of Khant fans have made out. He's game, tough and always comes to win.
Doubt he will even get a world title fight never mind win one but the lad is game and will give anyone a hard fight, baffles me why frank hasn't tried to get him in with Liam smith
