Clottey is 38 years old now. Gabe Rosado is 29 years old coming off 4 fight losing streak in the ring.
If Rosado can get over his current slump and show his heart is still in the game he should be able to outwork Clottey to a decision victory. Clottey will be there to punch at.
Clottey has fought twice in the past two years, one against a no-hoper and Anthony Mundine who he put on the canvas several times en route to a decision victory.
I can't remember if I scored the fight but I remember thinking Rosado pulled it off that night. Then Love got caught for drugs to make weight or something.. dumb sh*t.
They should of had a rematch, would of been better for both of them to grow.
Love did grow...straight into smw. I wanted the kid chocolate rematch
I think Clottey will win every round and might stop him on cuts. Even at 38 Clottey is still very good. Rosado is game and tough and he takes a very good punch. Clottey isn't a big puncher so he probably won't knock Rosado out but he is a sharp puncher and will probably cut Rosado up. Rosado has a ton of heart but he really isn't very good. He has all those losses on his record because he is not very good.
I could see this fight going either way.
I would lean Clottey, he has never been stopped. Went the distance with Manny, Tony and Cotto.
All fighters that you know avoided in the same period, when they were in their prime.
Rosado has to been more shopworn that Clottey, his face becomes a bloody mess easily. Clottey face will hold up (black don't crack).
Only way Rosado's face will hold up, is to box and move. That better be his plan, if the fight gets ugly, he goes down.
HBO has a great card this Saturday, with good match making. There will be some upsets.
GGG better be ready for disappointed because he's not getting his Canelo megafight after Clottey gets through with him.
I am back on HBO to showcase my talent and after they will give me the Mexican Canelo like they promise 👊🏼— Joshua Clottey (@GMASTERCLOTTEY) December 15, 2015
Dont care at all Clottey is old and Rosado is garbage
Lol. It's a decent matchup, good for an undercard. Sort of a last chance for either one. We'll see
