    Will he the disruptor and the wildcard that can shake up the 168 lb division?

    How do we rate his boxing IQ, ring generalship, power and his ability to figure out opponents?

    He suprised me in the Jacobs fight, not suprised with this win.

    I felt Gabriel would get a UD in this,but a peach of a punch from him ended it,did not see this coming.

    He’s like an elite gatekeeper if that makes sense. If a fighter is destined to be one of the best in his division then he should beat Rosado clean(example Unified champions Jermell Charlo and GGG). If he struggles with Rosado then he’s gonna have trouble at the top of the division. If he loses then he’s shouldn’t be no where near the top 10.

    I think he's probably pumping himself full of chemicals, but I like him and am happy he got a KO over that kid. What a shot!

    Sergio Mora called him the Puerto Rican Jake Lamotta, and who are we to argue with that idiot...

    I like him. He's scored some good wins, been robbed a whole bunch of times, has fought everyone and always gives it his all.

    That right hand he sparked Bek with was a peach of a shot. Bek walking in face first with his hands down was dumb against a crafty very experienced vet like Rosado but then again I don't think anyone expected him to be able to generate that kind of one shot power. But this is a 168 pound Rosado and it looks like the move up in weight really suits him.

    Journeyman, a modern day Rocky who should never be discounted but is not a top talent. I love that kids heart and I’m happy he knocked out the karate kid. I sensed that he was timing him and BAM. Where he goes from here idk bc both champions and prospects probably won’t fight him bc he’s not an easy out.

    Rosado is a real throwback, one of those tough guys from the dawn of boxing, where they's beat each other's brains out in a muddy mining camp for a shot of whiskey and a dance with the barmaid. He seems to have developed his boxing skills in his old age (relatively speaking) and I like that he's gotten some smarts in addition to his physicality. I can't remember him ever being in a boring fight.

    And I thought he got robbed vs Jacobs. A draw maybe but I thought he won 7-5

    I also thought he won but it was close enough for them to give the decision to the money fighter.

    He’s the epitome of “better than his record indicates”. Not an easy fight for anyone except the best.
