Brian Rose V Joachim Alcine

Clever fight too.

Alcine was world class, but as Macklin proved he is a bit past it.


However there is still some life left in him as the Lemiuex fight showed- though shouldn't pose too many problems for Rose and increase Rose's rank also.

 

Didn't Macklin blast Alcine out in a round a few months back? If Rose is capable of stepping up to world class then he should beat this bloke without many problems.

 

Alcine a natural light middle? could be weak at the weight if he's getting down from 160 to 154!!!

 

Good solid test this one! Fair play, Macklin proved he's obviously levels above Rose but we'll see with the measuring stick

 

Plus Ochieng/Arnfield and Askin/Camacho.

 

Decent fight for Rose, he doesn't have world class potential imo but this will be a good gauge.

 

Its ok. Good if theres a soldi undercard.

 

Signing next week is main support.

 

When was Alcine 'World class'? When he held a bauble? Or when he was spectacularly sparked each time he stepped up?

 

Unfortunately theres no way that Brian Rose is getting anywhere near world class

 

Totally see why he's made this fight - a former titlist now on the slide.

He's 3(0)-3(3)-1 in his last seven so is clearly way past his best.

Does Rose have enough pop to stop him? He's a good boxer with good skills but Alcine is a southpaw(?) who normally boxes his way to wins. Alcine has a chance here.

There's a decent English level CW fight on the undercard too.

Will Ochieng-Arnfield be for the British...?

EDIT: Is Alcine a southpaw I can't remember!

 

He wasn't that good at his best.
