Comments Thread For: Photos: Gennady Golovikin, Gabe Rosado Prepare For War

Terrible fight to pick for God of War. If he wins easy everyone here says he beat a bum with several loses. If he struggles in the slightest people will jump all over him as being an overhyped bum. If he loses he is finished. No real upside unless they expect a dominating and brutal highlight ko that will have the fans begging for more. Oh wait...

Soto Karass is a welter, and not a very good one. He can't even punish Maidana. Proksa's Sylvester win is much better than any Karass win p4p, not to mention 2 weights apart.

That's how much think of Proksa.

when 1st heard about this fight I was sure Golovkin would win easy, I won't lie but after a little research I think Rosado has a real chance. and here's why

Rosado doesn't have a great record and was stopped by Angulo but in Rosado defence until 2012 Rosado was a full time construction worker. when you fight top 10 guys being a part time boxer won't cut and it showed in that fight.

if you watch his fights from 2012 Rosado has improved vastly. he must have something if Bernard Hopkins is mentoring him. his leg movement and upperbody movement have improved a lot. he's got fast hands and is a pretty good counter puncher.

what do we honestly know about Golovkin as a pro. no BS no hype.

he's got decent power, no denying that. he's destroyed a lot of C level guys, Proksa included but so did Tyrone Brunson. if Rosado can neturalize his power then what?

the only decent opponent he had was Kassim Ouma and he struggled. that was pretty close fight before GGG got the TKO in the 10th but Ouma did bust up GGG's face. Golovkin was tried after 4 rounds because he loads up on almost every shot. people want to believe he's super human but NO fighter can do that without getting tired.

all I know about GGG is he's a beast for 4 rounds and then starts to look normal. I know he get hits with everything he has no defense whatsoever.

boxing is all about styles and I think if the fight last more than 4 rounds Rosado has a good chance to take it because how many times have you seen a hard charging come foward bull get totally out classed by a boxer.

good post!!..green

One of the most intelligent unbiased post I have came across! Watch out for others to bash you. By the way I have Rosado in a decision.

Yeah I'm well aware friend. Its easy to see Rosado was thrown out there and survived it even as a part time prize fighter. Now he's a full time boxer. I'm sorry to break it to you but he's fought guys like Soto Karass who aren't exactly awesome but I feel would punish a guy like Proksa. My pick has a lot to do with the match up though. Its gonna take a good game plan for Gabe to win. It just boils down to patience.

I agree with you studentofthegame. Guys most not heard of Glenn Johnson whom had about 8 loses when he beat RJJ and Tarver. Johnson was also tko'd earlier in his career against Bhop. Like you said rosado just now became a full time boxer. And has improved with every fight, as well as Bhop mentoring him
