Rosado looks a full weight class bigger than David at the weigh-in?

Lemieux weighed 162.5 lbs yesterday morning before the weigh in, and expects to weigh 175 lbs in the ring tonight. Big boned I guess.

 

:huh
I dated a chic that claimed to be big boned:rofl
:smoke

 

this should be a good fight.

 

:rofl

Well we know Lemieux's not a cow.

Reach and distance control is what I think will be hardest for him to overcome.

 

We all knew Rosado was the bigger fighter, but NO, Lemiuex is NOT a LMW.

He's a perfectly sized MW with enough power to even move up eventually when he fills out into his adult body at 30-33.

Rosado has simply exploited his height against smaller fighters suing distance and tall power ala PWilly.

Rosado's downfall is gonna be Lemiuex getting in under the jab/hook. Speed kills and Lemieux is a barnburner in the speed category.:deal

 

GGG is an ox at middleweight, Rosado was not bigger.

 

One of Lemiuex's drawbacks are those T-Rex short arms, his reach is unbelievably lacking, He's a small compact middleweight legit power and some speed, but if he was fighting Rubio again, he'd still lose. I haven't seen any growth. Rosado is a solid worker, I'd be surprised if Lemiuex bulldozed him quickly, then again Perro did but that was so long ago.

 

yet he has never won a fight a middleweight
how ironic

 

Rosados got his mojo back but is it enough too overcome lemix

 

I think Rosado was bigger than GGG. He's certainly taller and at that time I think GGG was weighing around 168 / 9 in the ring which is lighter than the bigger JMWs (of which Gabe was one of the biggest).

Golovkin's come in a bit heavier recently, but certainly not particularly heavy for the weightclass.

 

If I remember correctly, Golovkin was 173 for the Rubio fight.
