Great fight for both guys. If Rose wins (& lets face it he WON'T be blasting Alcine out a la Macklin) it proves he has the skills to compete around the fringes of World class.

If Alcine wins he's beaten a ranked opponent in his backyard & is back in the mix for another big fight.

Alcine has looked absolutely awful in his last few fights. I would hardly consider him "fringe" world class. Then again, rose isn't anywhere near that level either so i guess it's a more even match up, but i don't neither being a legit contender.
