Bothered, fine. Rocked is a bit extreme. Rosado was never a shot away from dropping him. Trout and Andrade could be doable for Charlo down the line, yes, but there is no reason to rush him that fast that soon. As for his brother, when did I say Jermall ought to be stepping up to a Molina already? You're putting words in my mouth. I think that's a bit of a bold move, actually. He is being fast-tracked a bit and is a little behind Jermell in his development and specifically in his progress stepping up in overall competition, although knocking out Antwone Smith last year constituted the biggest single achievement by either brother until Jermell's clinic on Rosado last night.
I didn't mean to imply that you specifically said Charlo was ready for Molina so I apologize if it came out that way. The thing is I don't see the advantage of Charlo beating up on lower comp. Who realistically would you put him in with? Trout is alimited, light punching jr middle with a bit of a name. Charlo would beat him and probably look good doing it. Andrade is just starting to prove himself as well so ya maybe you wait on that one. But you certainly arent gonna put Charlo in w Kirkland, Lara or Vanes. (Vanes because it is somewhat dangerous and he is awkward as hell) I agree the Molina fight is bold. Molina is no easy out for sure and once you get a strap all bets are off. ( public perception not mine)
This result is another blow to Peter Quillins' credibility. Apart from big size and explosive power he really is looking more and more "ordinary".
rosados not that good? many felt he beat mw jleon and probably gave quillen his toughest fight yet that was a great and dominating win for charlo last night
Yes, Rosado isn't that good. The fact that you tried to justify him being good by bringing up Jleon, Floyds overhyped cheater and Kid Chocolate who has zero good wins on his resume is proof. Rosado is game...he just isnt good. His best win is Soto-Karass.
proof? jleon had a solid amatuer career and quillen is trained by roach and managed by gbp both of whom generally dont waste time with unproven talent...especially freddie roach also, rosado was competitve with both middleweights fighting out of his natural weight class of 154. gabe is a very good fighter who just fought someone who was that much better.
Charlo was never rocked. He looked to be froze up by some body shots late in the fight but he was never in trouble. I thought he looked real good.
even though i've never rated Rosado, i thought Charlo did a good job on him. he's quite relaxed out there, knows his way around a ring, and actually lets his shots go. i liked what i saw. he's someone to lookout for in the next 18 months. i agree with IB. he doesn't need to be rushed or anything stupid. although i don't think they need to hold him back for too long considering he put up a better performance than did Quillin. and that was at 160. but yeah, another few fights like that, then let him off the leash on the genuine contenders. there's no one out there that he should be worrying about other than say, Lara. he'd be a live dog against the rest of them.
I told you busters a year ago that them Charlo boys would be here this year and wreaking harvoc at 154. Everybody at 154 now is being put on notice and that includes Mayweather.
You can't see too well...open the holes in your hood a little wider...but not too wide...you don't want your klan buddies to see you're NOT WHITE
