    I think if he had better management or circumstances, he would have been top 5 fighter in his division without that many losses. And it was dumb from Bektemir team to put him against veteran, who gave problems top fighters. This uzbek is not on Loma's level to fight Rosado's that early in his career.

    Btw, this Bektemir has no future, he is slow, telegraphs every punch and wtf is this stance? If you are so slow with limited skills you should apply ear muff defence, but Bektemir fights with his hands down like some yellow belt karatist

    Mora also says every fight how Rosado struggles with cuts and blood in his eyes.
    Rosado hasn´t been cut since 2016...

    But who am I to go against what Mora says?

    168 is a **** division. If he learns to move his head off the line when throwing bombs, he will go far.
    And he clearly has speed. Rosado had a though time with it.

    Rosado's a pretty good, solid fighter and gutsy, happy he got the win against Melikuziev last night.
    Rosado had the pro experience against high class opposition, kept his hands up high and seized the moment, while Melikuziev paid the price for sloppy defense and seemingly, not fully respecting his opponent's power. Great shot to flatten 'Bek the Bully' for a face-plant finish.

    His 26-13-1 record, could just as easily be 32-8.

    If he had gotten those wins he deserved, maybe his career would have turned out a lot different.

    I find him not so good. had GGG not been spectacularly ill on their fightnight, he´d of been ended right there and then.

    I remember Golovkin beat him up while being somewhat ill and everyone said prime Rosado was a bum, despite the fact he clearly had skills and heart. Then post prime Rosado beat Danny Jacobs and suddenly he wasn't really a bum anymore.
    It left me confused about the bumness of Rosado.

    I don't think he is really a king.

    Great fighter to watch. Been fighting at an elite level for a long time. Seems to be aging very well, and he still has the hunger inside to fight and want to win. The losses seem to have helped hone his skills and isn't the type of guy to lose confidence or momentum from a loss. Great attitude, hopefully he can rack up a few more big wins

    I appreciate him much more since the jacob fight.

    Melikuziev can puch, but cant take them. To beat the likes of rosado you need to be better than this. And I'm glad that rosado won.

    Only thing i have against Rosada is him accusing Triple G of fighting him with loaded gloves. "Elite gatekeeper" suffering from poor management decisions was an apt description.

    Yeah he's always been the B-side

    Well it just shows you how special Loma is. No matter how good all these amateurs are none of them have been capable of replicating what he was able to do at the speed he did so and whenever they try they either come unstuck and get beat or struggle against journeymen or much lower level opponents than he beat or toyed with.
