Upset? I think Gabe batters him with not much resistance. Munguia is the most stat padded overrated boxer out there.
Munguia doesn't like being pressured and while I don't see Rosado doing that, he can try to outbox Munguia. Munguia doesn't seem to have a shred of ring IQ especially for someone whose trainer is Erik Morales and while Morales too was very susceptible to getting drawn into wars he could box very well and follow the gameplan when he had to.
Munguia is ripe for an upset but I'm not sure Rosado is the man to pull it off. Rosado had a great knockout last time out but he was losing and is clearly years past his peak. I would love to see him pull it off, though. Rosado, the man who took the long, hard road, defeating the protected, money-backed fighter. What a story. I see Munguia getting a decision, however. I think Golden Boy is biding their time until they can cash Munguia out against a big name fighter.
Would Rosado move back down to 160? He out-boxed Danny Jacobs then he out-punched Bek, not sure why he has to get the opponent treatment for a prospect that's done very little. He accepts it too, I want to say he mentioned this fight after his last win.
I would love that but Golden Boy probably doesn't see Derevyanchenko as a big enough purse for them to warrant the risk. I would like to see Zhamibek Alimkhanuly get a shot, too. I think he beats Munguia handily.
I'd cheer for Rosado against Munguia. I think that aside from age, Rosado is a better boxer than Munguia and much more likeable too.
Were the Ivan Robinson matches before or after McGirt? Though denied a W both times, I thought he boxed about as well as I've seen him before or since.
I'm perhaps Gatti's biggest detractor on here..............this is disrespectful to Gatti to even say this, Munguia is horrible. With that being said, this is one of those fights I could care less who comes out on top. Objectively though, even though I give Rosado tons of ****.........he simply has the ability to do more in the ring, and for better or worse he is battle tested against the best
