Rosado will stop Clottey for the first time in his career, it will be a total destruction, no one will see coming.
THIS. Rosado has a very attractive style and is a game fighter. Lots of heart. His record is a little spotty because he's fought the roughest customers out there. Will be cheering for him. :happy
As much as I like fighters like Rosado he's pretty much only good at two things: 1. Choosing badass looking tattoos 2. Getting punched in the faced The problem with Rosado is that he has a relatively ineffective jab and he's in with a guy who had at one point one of the best jabs in boxing. If the fight was at 160 lbs I can see him having a chance due to his size and youth. But given that it's at a catch weight I'd say HBO is more likely developing Clottey as an opponent for Andrade, Canelo or Lemieux.
I think its the other way around, they want Rosado to win again to make him a viable Canelo/Andrade opponent.
Ya I'm sure they wouldn't be too ****ed if Rosado won but in any event he'll have to deal with a guy who at his peak was a far superior fighter and who just beat Mundine, a better fighter than rosado or anyone rosado has ever gotta win over. Mundine was basically the same size rosado is too so at the catch weight it's not like Clottey is going to be out matched by the size.
Rosado is way better than current mundine. Mundine wouldn't even be competitive with Rosado's last five opponents.
Hard to believe Clottey is 38.... Holy ****. But he's still fresher than Rosado he's coming 3 beatdowns in a row, and is clearly more skilled. He only loses if he's really slipped due to age.
