    Kind of cold there.

    Gabe isnt on the way to the HOF, but he seems like a great guy who always gave his best.

    Glad to hear he is quitting though, hope he has success in the future.

      I swear to God you are a jerk. One of Gabe's jockstraps has more respect than you will ever earn or deserve in your sad, sorry, existence. If you really think that was a good response on the day a warrior leaves the sport then, genuinely, IDK SMH.

      Great comment by RJJ 94-02 = GOAT. Gabe was always ready, always in shape & made other boxers raise their game. Its a cliche but its true, Iron sharpens Iron. Enjoy your retirement Gabe & hope it works out for you.
      Sorry I don't respect people who are paid to get punched in the face with no hope of winning. I think that's cruel and I don't think he has any knowledge to offer boxers with higher potential than being a punching bag like he was.

      I don't respect people who complain after every (clear) loss and act like the judges were against them. Respect is earned, not given. He has lost over half of his fights (while crying that he was a victim), what other profession do we celebrate being mediocre and unreasonable?

        Better to keep your mouth closed and appear ignorant than open it and remove all doubt

          "what other profession do we celebrate being mediocre and unreasonable?[" Couldn't resist responding with another profession that does this. Professional Politicians.

            King Gabe is a workhorse who went in tough with some really good opponents. He lost 38.6% of his fights, but he was always in there, trying to be competitive. Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

Melikuziev cruised on the judges' cards, winning by the tally of 99-91 three times.

              What knowledge can Rosado give young fighters? The knowledge to get beat all the time?

                Right, GGG viewed Rosado as a non-threat to make his second HBO bout on.

                  GGG wasn't at the stage where he could be choosy about opponents because there was precious few willing to face him. The match-up happened because Rosado is an absolute dog. He figured that the GGG bout would propel him higher than a K9 fight, and he wanted to be the first to make GGG look human. Jermall has had the more successful career, but Rosado has arguably had the more memorable one.

                      He didn't lose over half his fights, he was 26-17-1. Same difference though.
