It seemed as though Quillin was a bit overwhelmed from round 4 on with Rosado's pressure and jab. Now, I'm no triangle theorist but my thought process is: GGG is better with pressure, has a better jab, and cuts off the ring much better than Rosado. I see GGG winning via KO by round 9.
What do you guys think?? Discuss.
GGG would bully him. quillin would be running scared after the first round and that may result in him surviving as far as the middle rounds before being put away. It would be very one sided throughout and afterwards people would say 'yeah ggg still needs to prove he's the real deal by fighting someone good, that quillin guy was sh*t' etc etc
has skinny legs and didnt seem to have a plan b. GGG by horrendous KO in 5
Lol I thought I was the only one who noticed his chicken legs
quillin became a bit tentative when rosado tried to walk him down...can you imagine if that was golovkin on the offensive against him? quillin would be wary about golovkin's power all night and the more he would be gun shy.
Exactly. He looked very uncomfortable with all the jabs and pressure.
You mean you had to see the fight to realize that?
I thought everybody knew that way before this weekend. I don't see anyone in the MW division at the moment beating GGG.
Lol no, I favored GGG in a close fight before, but now I don't think it will be that close honestly/

basically this
I was impressed with rosado's heart and toughness v GGG but at no point did he ever even remotely look like he was in the same league as golovkin let alone stood a chance it was more a matter of 'I wonder how many more rounds Rosado can survive.'
Against quillen he was very competitive won a couple of rounds, had chocolate hurt a few times and seemed to be getting stronger as it went along. I still had quillen winning mind you
I don't see how anyone could have this fight as close as they keep saying, the first 3 were all quillin plus a kd, after that some close rounds but nothing really hurting Quillin, when he went to the ropes he blocks almost all of the punches and is constantly countering. Rosado was hurt a few times and Quillin was never in trouble. How Rosado could have magically won in two rounds is beyond me, considering his eye just busted open and Quillin was the only one landing punches for the first 40 seconds of the 10th round
Yea i was watching the fight thinking how much trouble he was having against Rosado and how easily GGG beat Rosado. I mean Rosado was durable in the GGG fight and made it interesting but i never thought it was really close. Rosado was able to hurt quill in and im sure GGG hits harder than Rosado. Quillin wants no part of GGG we wont see that fight

I missed the fight but I've always known Quillin was chinny ever since his fight with Wright. Dude was getting his head snapped back constantly by jabs, it was obvious Wright would've KO'd him in his prime and he's feather fisted as hell.
i like Sergio as well...but with the way he's looked lately, it's pretty clear that the 160 torch needs to be passed...might as well pass it to the badass that will fight everyone and probably clean out the division
if Quillin get that torch, he'd probably just rematch Rosada's bum ass again :lol1:
Lmao!
I previously thought Quillin was just as strong as Golovkin, but Rosado demonstrated that that isn't true. Golovkin is probably the strongest middleweight in boxing.
Don't get it twisted though... Quillin's superior speed and counter punching would still give GGG trouble. Just because Rosado withstand Quillin's offense, doesn't mean Golovkin would take it in stride. I slightly favor Golovkin against Quillin after last night, but those thinking it'd be easy are kidding themselves.
I don't think it will be that easy for GGG, but I think GGG will break him down and KO him. You're right about the bolded!
Rosado wasn't winning anything. He missed almost everything as Peter was actually effective. (Look at their faces and who got dropped again?)
Pete beats GGG
Lmao, I'm not sure we were watching the same fight. & The KD happened in round 2. If you read, I gave Quillin the first 3 rounds. After that is where Rosado started taking over.
So you agree with the official scorecards at the time of the stoppage?
I wouldn't go that far. He hurt him at the end of R.5(?). I don't think Rosado did as well as some were saying though, I think it would've gone 12.
Quillin's k/d didn't look legit , he seemed like he pushed him.
Rewatching the KD shows that Kid C had kinda stepped in to land and when Rosado tried to move with the punch he kinda caught himself on Quillins leg and lost his balance. It wasn't legit IMO but also woulda done little to change the outcome of the fight.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that Rosado was winning, but he did seem to have gained the initiative in the later rounds, and shoulda been given the opportunity to at least finish the 10th to show if he was still able to fight IMO.
I guess I was simply expecting more from Quillin. I was expecting a dominant performance, but instead he seemed quite tentative at times, and never seemed to have Gabe in any real danger. I was aware he wasn't the greatest technician, but believed his speed and power would be too much for Gabe.
I think PQ has some work to do if he wants to be considered elite at MW.

I did slightly exaggerate but rewatching the fight shows how much Quillin was in control, Rosado was "walking him down" with missed punches being countered with uppercuts for most of the rounds. There was no way Rosado does anything if the fight were to continue but his trainer pulling another "Hes gunna die in there bro"
Some of ya dumbasses need to rewatch the fight. Rosado landed nothing of note and Quillin constantly stunned rosado with everything he landed. And dropped him and bloodied him. But ya know, Rosado was just about to KO him, I know it!!!1!

They leaked the video of GGG sparring Chavez Jr at the wild card, maybe somebody has a video of GGG sparring Quillin. I heard he knocked Quillin out of the ring.
I read it was competitive. Even so, I think Golovkin makes Quillin look pretty average.
Yes, unless Quillin can adapt and then we have a fight, remember that the rosado that fought ggg wasn't the same that fought Quillin that's why theory triangles doesn't work in boxing, we could make an educated guess base on styles, power, speed, experience etc... But nothing can replace the actual fight, in a way I'm happy that rosado gave Quillin a hard time, you learn from adversity and that was the first time that I saw Quillin hurt.
He was hurt worse on ESPN vs Dionisio Miranda, way back before his injury layoff. Yesterday he was lucky the bell rang. But he ate some good punches, and seems to have a decent enough chin.
Glad you added that last line. lol
Well that is the whole thing it is easy to pick a fight and be correct, there are only three outcomes and no one ever picks draw.
That is why picking fights (and really getting credit for it) is like solving a complex math problems, you need to show your work with how you got there to really have the correct answer.
Golovkin is the superior boxer technically, I don't think his defense is worse than Quillin's and while Quillin has decent pop I think Golovkin outshines him there. As it sits now Quillin's only shot is if he is a tougher guy than Golovkin and Golovkin can't take his fire back but that doesn't seem very likely either. There is just nothing to really hang your hat on when it comes to Quillin's chances, Quillin is good at a lot of thing but Golovkin is very good at a lot of things. I do think Quillin has a better fight in him than what we saw against Rosado though so you never know.
Tough to say Rosado was going to win the fight with that enormous gash over his left eye, especially since it was pretty close up until then. But I agree, Golovkin beats Quillin.
Being unbiased, Rosado was en route to a win, maybe even tko/KO.
Quillin was hurt multiple times by Rosado. And this man ( who doesn't deserve the title of Kid Chocolate) is supposed to bEat Gennady? What does Pete do better than GGG? There is a very good claim that Rosado was winning that fight, I personally thought he won more rounds. It's really amusing that the fix was in as well. 90-80? Be honest, I see you're a Kid fan, but 90-80? Terrible for the sport.

There's a lot of truth in this statement. I wouldn't doubt if Pete, in the back of his mind, regarded Gabe as inferior. He had to dig a little deeper when he saw Rosado wasn't folding easily. That can be a very good thing.
