ATLANTA – Erickson Lubin laughed off Jeison Rosario’s knockout prediction prior to them coming face to face at a press conference Thursday. Lubin believes Rosario is underestimating the southpaw’s power as their 12-round WBC super welterweight elimination match nears. Regardless, Rosario reminded him that their fascinating fight won’t go the distance Saturday night on the Gervonta Davis-Mario Barrios undercard at State Farm Arena.
Jeison Rosario intends to show Saturday night that he is much more the fighter that upset Julian Williams than the boxer Jermell Charlo knocked out in his last fight.
