Gabriel Rosado vs. Glen Tapia RBR

Round 3

Rosado is keeping the left very low, pushing the jab out at Tapia's stomach. Tapia is marching him down and getting hit with light body shots as Rosado moves counterclockwise. Rosado showboating and lifting his rear arm high and spinning his fist in the air for the crowd. Neither landing much. Kidney whacks by Tapia in a clinch as he walks through Rosado's jab. Rosado is dancing around the perimeter. 1-2-1-2 by Tapia, mostly taken on Rosado's outer arm and backside as he turns away while cleaving to the ropes.

10-9 Rosado, close again, last two have been razor-thin swing rounds, could be 29-28 Tapia

30-27 Rosado

 

Rosado landed 15 of 45, good for 33% in round 3, while Tapia landed 9 of 40, 23%

 

Round 4

Rosado is giving chase, feinting with both hands and leading alternately with low-sloping jabs on the belt line or line drive rights on the bridge of the nose. Tapia is made to run along the ropes now. Rosado pursues and cracks him with long powerful straights, taking his time and picking his spots. Tapia not throwing much back. Rosado is ducking forward and putting on earmuffs to screen out Tapia's counter flurries and then banging Tapia's body, almost pinning him on the ropes but Tapia sidesteps to freedom and resumes circling. Uppercuts and 1-2s by Tapia, blocked.

10-9 Rosado

40-36 Rosado

 

Yeah not the fight either of them needed right now. I mean, very much exactly the fight both of them need right now, but short term gain (for one) for eventual net loss (all around), nahmsayin?
