12 rounds for the WBC middlweight belt...The bomber Jackson against the strong Argentinian....It would be a wild affair....Care to place a bet?
What a ripper, who get who first? Roldan very hittable, Jackson not greatly durable. I'lll go for the Hawk to KO Roldan sometime between rounds 1-4.
Yes he twice won the Middleweight Title. He did lose to Mc Clellan though. He was competitive with Gerald in the first bout but was ko'd in the 5th. He was blown out in one round in a rematch.
I was very impressed by Roldan's ko over Frank "The Animal" Fletcher, and his fights against Hearns and Hagler, but if he fought "The Hawk", his sloppy defense and bull like rushes would leave an opening for a typical Jackson bomb that would leave him out colder than a bag of ice. Jackson-ko4-Roldan. Jackson was spectaculsr.
Jackson would take Roldan in six, but it would be a helluva fight up to that point.With his strength, Juan would make his presense felt by Julian.
If it's Roldan of the Hagler fight, I pick him to KO Jackson. Whereas Jackson would KO the Roldan Hearns finished.
Whoever lands first really as Roldon was a massive banger himself, but Roldan was generally more sloppy and erratic with complete absence of defense. Jackson fought very tightly and is SERIOUSLY underrated as a boxer, he picked his shots and would knock Roldan out in the first 4 rounds.
Roldan's tremendous strength and awkward rushes would be too much for Jackson. If a brilliant counterpuncher like Hagler could have trouble timing Juan then you can be sure Jackson will. A shakey chin was almost Hearns's undoing against "The Hammer". It would be Julian's undoing. Roldan KO2
