    Nothing but respect for him but it’s not must see TV, I’d rather watch a Jesus Soto Karass fight. Sort of the same level guy but always seems to keep me on the edge of my seat

    if that makes any sense

    Absolute nonsense. Rosado was looking to set him up from the outset and that was a perfectly timed shot that had everything he had in him behind it and Bek couldn't have been more obliging walking with his hands down with zero regard for defence as he loaded up on his own shot.

    I never said Rosado was a savage puncher so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. He's a very crafty experienced vet who knows how to set traps and if you're dumb enough to make a mistake like that he'll punish you for it and punish Bek he did beautifully.

    :lol: You don't have to be a massive puncher to take someone out if they walk in with their hands down with zero regard for defense if you catch them that cleanly with a shot like that. However, there was clearly a lot of power behind that shot and like I said I think the move up in weight suits him and has increased his power.

    And Bek did not ''take a nap for the whole night'' he was actually back on his feet within like 10 or 11 seconds. He might even have just about beaten the count albeit he was obviously in no position to continue.

    He’s awesome a true Philly Rican street thug who has clawed his way up to being a near elite fighter. Kind of like Glen Johnson in that he took on everyone and late in his career he has learned so much that he is now at the top

    The guy he fought was scary, did you see his amateur accomplishments? He was like a mack truck. I thought he might take Rosado out, but what a shot.

    A bigger version of Mike Alvarado.

    I think the limelight is bad for Mora. I swear, if he were just sitting at his house and commenting the fights, it would make for great content.
    We have had many great boxers make great commentators, but there are a lot of bad ones as well *cough*TimBradleyFookenSucks*cough*.

    I'd rather listen to a low battery fire alarm than Chris Mannix, so Mora will always look good in comparison.

    As I Rosado fan, I must tell you to go **** yourself.
    Alvarado was though and had a ton of heart, but he isn´t half the boxer Rosado is.

    I get why you would want to draw comparisons, but in this case you are way off.

    Rosado beat Jesus Soto Karass earlier in his career, I'm sure you would enjoy that fight.

    good fighter with a great heart. a warrior.
    in my mind he will always be connected to the famous "i gotta stop it man! your son's gonna die man! " from the ggg fight.

    blah blah blah
    blah blah

    i didnt read man. Because I dont care.

    Look at this, that's a champion

    This content is protected


    same or better punch from a 50% ko rate guy. Melikuziev cant take punches for ****. And you can say whatever because reality is stubborn.

    Rosado's punch is a good counter right, nothing else, nothing special. Just a good one, like the ones we see every saturday night. And not even connected on the tip of the chin, as I said, a champion would have taken it with more or less problems, but would have taken it. Why do you defend what cannot be defended? I dont care :banana::dancer2:

    If you don't respect Rosado, you don't respect box.
