    I think it would come down to who took who's shot better. For me Esteban would hold Rosario's shot better and come on to take it late. Could see both being hurt, but Dejesus was more rounded and Rosario's stiffness would count against him. I think Dejesus would stop Rosario over 15, but Edwin makes it to the final bell over 12.

    I'm a big fan of Esteban and I think he's commonly underrated here. I like him over Rosario.

    Another vote for De Jesus.

    He is going to solve that elbows out style of Rosario and pick him apart. The second half of the fight would be very difficult for Edwin and it'd be all he could do to hang in there.

    I don't think this fight goes past about 6 rounds, actually. Not sure who to favour within that frame. On the one hand, De Jesus' more liquid style would see him land on Rosario's more rigid style pretty regularly, but De Jesus was hittable himself, and Rosario's power may be able to compensate. I agree with slip&counter on what it would come down to, but with that said I'm not sure I agree on the victor. I might have to go against the grain here.

    Rosario hurts Dejesus early but Dejesus is the more fluid and better fighter he shakes it off...And takes over the fight my the early mid rounds........ Dejesus tko 10

    I'm a huge fan of Chapo, and I'd take Dejesus to take him apart.

    Dejesus, without a doubt. Too versatile to the upright Rosario, who really didn't have a defense. His offense was his defense as one of the great one-punch KO artists. Good fight, but DeJesus' counter-punching would take Chapo's measure.

    De Jesus had a left hook from hell and the ability to absorb a lot of punishment, both of these would help him secure a win over Rosario. Both are tough PR's.

    He wasn't faster than Davis, almost all weren't. As for the matchup, I think Esteban's experience helps him pull out a close one over Edwin.But Rosario would give DeJesus some of the scariest moments in his career.
