Rumored match. I got my boy rosado taking a hard earned w in this one. Regardless gotta give it up to gabe if this happens indeed. Does he ever take and easy fight?
I think this fight will be even better than the Rosado-Kirkland fight. Gabe has taken the role from Glenn Johnson where your record doesn't matter. I was hoping GB would give Gabe a few easier fights first though.
I'll be siding with Lemieux for the win. It's been over 3 years since the Rubio & Alcine fights when he was just a 22 year old kid. I think he's progressed since then and mentally improved. I thought GYM would go after Brian Vera, but Gabe is even better. I want the winner of this one to fight Curtis Stevens next.
I think David Lemieux would win this fight but I would be rooting for Gabe Rosado though. Good match-up but wouldn't this fight end up on Showtime? Or is GYM still on good terms with HBO after the Stevenson debacle?
Rosado signed with GB and told him he would be fighting on the December 6th date on HBO, so I assume it'll be on HBO. Also HBO likes the idea of investing into MW's and Lemieux is an interesting fan friendly MW (as is Rosado). But you're right, GYM has the relationship with Showtime going and so does GB (atleast with their Haymon fighters), and Rosado is coming out of a contract deal with Showtime. Either way it better be televised.

Ill take gabe since he was at the robert Garcia he seems like a new fighter 100%, he does pull counters now, he steps properly and doesnt hop around uselessly anymore.
Was he with Garcia for the the BKB fight?
Gabriel Rosado (21-8-0/13KO) is facing a tough opponent Lemieux at 32-2-0/30KO/7-win streak.
But I always like Rosado's fearless fighting style, and never says no to the toughest guys like Golovkin who needed 7 rounds to beat him.
We need guys like him who don't cherry pick and always tries to put up a good fight. I like Rosado to win this time. He does earn a lot of respect.
If Rosado does not cut up, I think he might take this. His skin is his Achilles heel, but that was supposedly worked on. Lemieux's weakness is his Stamina, that mixed with Rosado's durability might not be a good mix.
