Billy Joe v Gabe Rosado

Rosado is alright, but he's taken on too many losses now. I suspect the main issue would have been money but then it would likely have gained more for Saunders than the Bursak fight. Let's see who he ends up fighting, starting to lose my patience with him a bit

 

The impression I get is that the Canelo fight is going to happen regardless. Maybe they just want a low risk keep busy fight and not jeopardise the Alvarez fight at the end of the year

 

Because it's impossible for a faster, more skilled fighter with good footwork to out box Rosado from the outside or from mid range?

And is Rosado world class?

And which quick, skillful, top middleweights has Rosado beaten?

 

Yeah I've watched the Ryder fight, Saunders didn't perform well. He's not the type who brings his A-game every time but he's clearly faster and more skilled than Rosado. He also has decent power and a solid chin. He would be a heavy favourite over Rosado.

Only real chance Rosado has imo is if Saunders is complacent and doesn't perform to his potential which wouldn't happen if he feared Rosado as you suggested.

Incidentally I think Eubank Jr vs Rosado would make for an entertaining s****.

 

In fairness Rosado has lost 4 of his last 6 (if you take out the ND)

Lost 4 of his last 6, If Saunders took it he'd probably be shredded for fighting him and that stat would have been thrown at him but because he chose not to take it he is being accused of ducking Rosado which in my opinion is ridiculous.

Saunders needs to step it up, no doubt about that but not fighting Rosado should be seen as a good decision.
