WBO light middleweight title. Just been announced for June 14th, I personally think Andrade will stop Rose, would absolutely love to be proved wrong though. Who wins and how?
Don't think Rose has much of a chance but I respect Rose as a fighter. He has done it the hard way a racked the necessary wins to put himself in a position to fight for a world title. And you cant do more then that really. I can remember the first time I saw him watching FNN and he got KO'd heavily by Max Maxwell. Apparently he was in a bad place after his previous opponent collapsed after the fight and was rushed to hospital with a suspected blood clot. So to come back that and a KO loss to put himself in position to be challenging for a world title is very commendable. Hats off to him and hopefully he can up off an upset.
Sorry to say because Rose is a nice lad but this won't go 6, he has virtually no chance, he is a European level fighter at best, not once in his career has he looked anything above that level or that he could reach world level. I see this a lot like when Michael Hunter got a world title shot Andrade will beat Rose in similar fashion and similar round.
Mis-match in every department. I'm no fan of Andrade either, will not only be a one sided win for him but also a bloody boring one to watch too as both Andrade and Rose are sleep inducing to watch.
Rose has a lot of heart, a decent chin and is a decent technical boxer but he just lacks the power at world level. Which is surprising since he's a pretty big guy. I hope I'm wrong but I think Andrade wins this by KO in the middle rounds. I do expect Rose to take a couple of the early rounds though.
I hope Rose enjoys his visit to America and visits lots of tourist sites.Thats the only thing he will get to enjoy.This is a total mismatch.He is Euro level at best.:-(
Dont blame him for taking the fight though as its a payday and he can say he fought for a world title which is more then most.
