Sean O'Grady vs Edwin Rosario @ 135

I dont think so. I mean Rosario could punch and Shawn was tough but against that power it wouldn't do him any good. Plus Rosario was a fast starter. I say Rosario drops him a couple of times and stops him in 6.

 

I think Sean gets a little underrated at times. Bit with Rosario the only chance he's going to have is to drag it into a war with Rosario who hits harder and is much faster.
Add to the fact that Sean cuts easy and that's another problem.

 

Rosario for sure.

 

Edwin on point, stops Sean in 4 rounds. O'Grady is a good fighter, but Edwin is another level.

 

No.

 

I'll go against the grain and go with O'Grady and the upset. If nothing else, he was in top condition and a good boxer. I sure do not like that elbows out style of Edwin against a mobile type boxer. Those right hands come right over that guard of his. And I'm not convinced he gets in that sweetspot to land those hooks of his---he needs to have Sean in that wheelhouse. And not be just following him around the ring.

I guess I'll lean with the O'grady discipline to go the entire fight & not trade or exchange and just box. Decision win. The other side of the coin is Rosario pulling one of his Eddie Mustapha Muhammad efforts against this guy and not having the discipline to be in top shape or to set traps---that's all he'd have to do with a guy like O'Grady is to set traps for the 2nd half of the fight. But would he?

 

OGrady was a protected fighter for most of his career. Edwin was the real deal. OGrady has no chance vs the best Rosario.

 

Rosario probably. but Sean had some heart.

 

Sean O ' Grady like many a fighter who had a trainer as a dad there
was a price to pay.
Bobby Cyz , Tony / Mike Ayala , Mathew Hilton and add Sean O' Grady
to the list. Sean early fights were dubious but he later showed to
have decent power and good fundamental boxing skills. His weakness
was cuts.
Sean though was fearless and would take the fight to power punching
Rosario . After 4 brutal rounds and multiple knockdowns and deep cuts
the referee stops the fight.

 

If Rosario is motivated, he should ko O'Grady. If it's an off night, O'grady has a puncher's chance. Rosario ran very hot and cold

 

Concur ^. And I like Sean. (His Dad threw him in with Little Red Lopez with Lopez as
a full-fledged experienced Featherwt, and O'Grady a very young Bantam/ Super Bantam..
just to see if Sean was tough. Thanks Dad.)

 

That was better than continuing to have him face just stiffs

He was young enough to come back from that experience.

A lot of excellent fighters had early losses then bounced back.

Look at Pedroza getting waxed by Alfonzo Zamora.

I think O'Grady's dad did a good job of maneuvering him. He just f_ed up after O'Grady got the title.

 

I know it was at the end of Sean's career but I think about how Ganigan stopped and I think the hawaiian punch had very good power but not so sure it was Rosario class and a motivated Rosario was a force with speed and boxing skills...he stops Sean in a few rounds

Sean had power skills, size and toughness but I think he was close to used up by the time he beat Kenty and he went down hill fast after that fight
