Comments Thread For: Alexis Rocha Drops, Stops Anthony Young In Fifth Round Of DAZN Main Event In Indio

Rocha probably beats Crowley, but he loses to Ortiz, Spence and Crawford

50 50 with Stanionis

That's exactly how I see it. Against Ortiz, Rocha would have to go through a lot of pain and land a haymaker - but while Rocha has to set up his Haymakers, Ortiz throws and lands them at will and more naturally which tells me Ortiz' timing is better and his accuracy as well. Rocha has to find a way to connect, Ortiz just lets his hands go and they connect automatically. I might give the edge to Rocha against Stanionis depending how Stanionis holds up against Ortiz. If Ortiz beats Stanionis which I expect, we have to see what is left of Stanionis because Ortiz may sap a lot out of Stanionis. But I also wonder if Ortiz has been depleted a bit based on his numerous health issues. If he hasn't, he will be the terror that could be a danger for any welterweight on the planet.

Rocha vs Benn next.

Young looked to be in shape to do about seven (2) minute rounds and that's about typical for many young fighters today. They don't train to do 12 (3) minute rounds at full speed. They're too cute, trying to pot shot, stall, bs and run out the clock and look for ways to rest in there. They don't train for a real hard fight. They say "SSSSSSSTH" real loud when they punch, then hop 2 feet back to avoid contact. I didn't see Young turn over a single punch. Everything was a slap- 4 or 5 slappy shots instead of 1 or 2 hard punches with proper form. Dude is trying to play boxing. He's gonna get hurt if he doesn't make changes/corrections, as evidenced by what happened tonight

I wouldn't mind Rocha v Ennis

Who cares???

Blair is playing himself, similar to how Ellis played himself bigtime

[GBP4LIFE]

I wouldn't mind Rocha v Ennis

Will be a possible unification fight down the line.

WBA is lined up for Vergil Ortiz

WBO is lined for Lex Rocha

IBF is lined for Boots Ennis

WBC who knows, fat boy Sulaiman is waiting for the check after he placed Thurman atop the rankings like the scammer he is.

GBP don't seem to have the money, desire or political clout to get Roach a better opponent. It's getting annoying. I'm all for stay-busys when they're leading up to meaningful opponents.

Also, when the hell is Cobbs' next fight?

You PBC tards are constantly concerned with GBP fighters.. it’s irritating pathetic behavior

If I was a PBC tard, I wouldn't have even WATCHED this card. Is it too much to ask for Blair Cobbs to be more active, or for Rocha to start getting better opponents?

Alexis Rocha continued his ascent in the welterweight division with another knockout victory Saturday night. The strong southpaw stopped Anthony Young in the fifth round of their 12-round main event at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California. Rocha drilled Young with a left hand that knocked Young into the ropes and down with about 55 seconds to go in the fifth round.

I’m glad Crawford-Spence is official otherwise we’d be watching Crawford vs Rocha next.
