David Lemieux vs Gabriel Rosado - who you got?

I think he wins this fight not sure how much farther he will get. my guess is lose in a title fight in 2015

 

Unless there is an Amir Khan at 160 I see it unlikely he gets a belt. then again he could be a B+ level champ and defend the title in canada until he is forced to step up. kinda like an Eric Lukas

 

Triangle theory says Rosado wins - Rubio beat Lemieux, Rosado did better than Rubio against GGG.

My brain says Rosado is tough enough to handle this and will survive the fireworks and beat him with better form.

My gut says that Lemieux will blow him out early like Angulo did.

Tough to call...

 

OK, he doesn't necessarily say early, but,

Most people assume there will be fireworks in this bout considering your fighting styles. But do you think there's potential for this to turn into a tactical fight?
Oh no, I'm going to force action, and I'm going to force a battle. The fans are going to get what they want, what they're hoping for and what they deserve -- an action-packed fight. I'm going to make sure of it. I don't come to be a boxer, I come to show that it's life or death in there. I'm an all or nothing guy, and I'm going in there for war. It's going to be a great fight. Nobody is going to be disappointed.

And Fernando Guerrero is the definition of china chinned. He has been down 9 times in the last 3 fights and knocked out twice.

 

and Fernando also out classed Rosado, sure he went down but he won every other second of the fight

 

Only one more day for that exciting fight. Expect brutalety!

 

Vera is a crued, slow, awkward clubbing fighter. Don't let that glorified bar fight fool you. Rosado is not that good.

 

Here is the way I see this fight.

Rosado doesn't have the type of high level boxing skills that will win him big fights. If you look at the GGG and Quillin fights he basically used fast feet to stay out of punching range, making it difficult for those two power punchers to set up their offense. He also through a lot of shots that fell short and were meant to disrupt his opponents rhythm. They weren't intended to score. More just to look busy and dangerous in an effort to stay in the fight. That isn't to say he wasn't making an effort or that all he was doing was hoping and praying for the final bell. No, I'm just making the observation that against punchers Rosado doesn't have the skills that would allow him to safely set up his offense in a way that would win rounds or do any meaningful damage to his opponent. He makes fundamental mistakes that prevent him from punching when his opponent is set to punch. He doesn't use angles or head movement when he punches. And he keeps his hands low and doesn't bring them back to a defensive position quickly. The result is that when his opponent is on offense he has to stay on defense. Also because of these deficiencies he is hesitant to step into his jab and use it as an opponent controlling weapon. The jab is the easiest punch in boxing to counter but is the most affective if it is done properly. His only hope in this fight is to establish his Jab early. But because of the of aforementioned deficiencies I doubt his ability to do this. If is lucky and can establish a jab early I only can see him surviving till midway through the fight before being chopped down.

Lots of other people on this thread have talked about the changes that Lemieux has made in his preparation since the Rubio loss so I won't add anything more. I'll just say that he has made the changes he needed to make and I believe that he is now ready to step up to A level.

Lemieux is a charismatic, explosive, white, power puncher from a big money boxing market. He's learned the lessons that he had to learn and now the money men in boxing are ready to cash in on him.

Rosado went rounds against both GGG and Quillin but they are both cautious, patient power punchers. They take their time breaking down their opponents. Lemieux is a seek and destroy guy. If GGG had the same mentality he probably would have blasted out Rosado in 2 rounds. Yes Rosado bleeds a lot. Yes he has a good chin. And yes he has charisma. But in all of his step up fights when it came time to trade blows with his opponents he always came out on the ass end of the exchanges. I don't expect that to change Saturday night. My prediction is that Rosado gets blown out in under 4 rounds.

 

Gabey Baby wins this one

 

lemieux by ko in round 4-5....

ggg may be miles ahead of lemieux in skill, and has bricks for fists...but ggg tends to start slow and pick his opponent apart(generally)...lemieux's style is a ko style, he likes to get in close and exchange bombs, he bobs and weaves and comes up off that bobbing and weaving similar to tyson, and has power to go with it...ggg is smarter in the sense that he will box and learn his opponent a bit then break him down

i think lemieux comes in early and very hard and swift, to prove a point and make a name for himself while fighting in NY...rosado has not much power in my eyes, but he is quick and can move, which is his only chance in this fight is to move and try to outbox lemieux from the outside with speed and movement and not let lemieux set up or get on the inside...

i think lemieux's style and power will land him an early ko
