Boom. Car crash in the middle of the ring. Who would take the decision? .... Okay, that wasn't funny. Two massive hitters at middleweight. I see Roldan forcing the fight up close and Mugabi launching thunderous looping counters that would dent a building. Juan Roldan TKO5 in a massive war. He's the shorter puncher, and I always like that in a puncher vs puncher matchup.
what a crazy fight. It is hard to pick since not many guys had to deal with Roldan's style. I have to go with Mugabi. I few months ago I think I thought it would be Roldan when I thought about it, but now I changed. John was more durable. Roldan had a huge punch, but he went down easily and almost looked like he wanted to quit. Each time against Hagler,Hearns,Nunn he went down and sort of packed it in mentally.
I think Mugabi hit so hard, and was precise enough that he would force Roldan to respect him. Still, Roldan would have mauled, smothered, and slugged Mugabi en route to a TKO, probably more around the 8th or 9th round.
Mugabi might just edge Juan, barely, but that strength that Juan had would be a huge problem for John to overcome, and that would help him last against Mugabi by slowing him down.
