    Vote Yes if he won you over with his gutsy efforts last night and Yes if you became a bigger fan of him because of it.

    No if you're indifferent.

    He was outclassed it seemed. Moved around a lot. Never sat down on his shots and was wildly inaccurate. Showed great heart taking punishment, but really didnt return much fire. Nothing particularly interesting to make we want to tune in again. Watching a guy get beat up and bloodied while not being competitive doesnt excite me as a fan.

    If you like blood you like last nights fight.

    definitely

    he gave it his best with his face ripped up, didn't want to quit when his corner asked him either, you can't dislike a guy like that

    Lets put you into proper perspective.

    GGG has nearly 400 amateur fights. Rosado had like what under 20 amateur fights (meaning he never fought in the open division of the amateurs, he was merely a novice when he decided to turn pro)? Turned pro at 18, moves up in weight to fight a guy that has to spar with much heavier men in order to get any type of quality sparring. And in regards to not dishing anything out, thats inaccurate. Did you see GGG's face? We all know Rosado didn't have the ability to tattoo GGG at will, but he landed some shots and went out fighting versus a guy with a MASSIVE experience advantage.

    The fact that Rosado did this isn't interesting to you? Someone should buy you a Toyota Tundra to help you out. =)

    No but in all seriousness, I don't get it?

    I take my hat off to his trainer. That was a chilling moment. I really hope one of these cats that make epic boxing videos like Gorilla Productions makes a superb video on this kid on yesterdays fight.

    I respected his guts and not getting steamrolled like Proksa did, but he still got his face shredded and lost every round decisively. He survived longer and didn't get hurt too badly though by being negative and not punching a lot/moving around a lot. If he'd fought less negatively he'd have got caught and taken out earlier, probably with less damage overall too.

    That said, he put forth a respectable effort, and for that I give him props. Still, it doesn't seem Rosado has really gained or made true fans; he's just become somebody all the GGG haters put on a pedestal because he gave him a small bruise under the eye and didn't get vaporized in the first 3 rounds. Still doesn't mean he didn't get wrecked or that GGG sucks though.

    NOt really. Just because he's tough and blocks punches with his face doesn't mean that im gonna be impressed.

    He's a C level fighter and im not a fan nor will i ever be. Skill challenged fighters like him dont float my boat at all. I dont give a **** how tough he is.

    The guy fought hard to get his career on track and had a title shot at K9. Instead he decided to fight this "Most feared fighter" a division above him. His team got him a catchweight and when he finds out about it, tells them to get rid of it and make the fight at 160.
    Then he goes out there and does better than expects and even busts up GGG's face.
    He showed heart the whole fight even to the point where he lost.

    He made Philly proud

    You must either ignore or not see all the hate Golovkin generates, mostly from Floyd fans. Which is strange, because he has literally nothing to do with Floyd, but almost all of the Golovkin haters double as big Floyd fans.
