Comments Thread For: Rosado: I Would Stop Erislandy Lara in Six or Seven!

[batista84]

I think Rosado is underestimating Lara's power. The very first round he lifted Angulo onto one foot with a left hand, hurt him several times throughout, and broke the man's skull. That doesn't happen when you're featherfisted.

I think he's not, he took Golovkins dinamite punches and he took them very well, If the took Golovkin punches you can be sure he can take Lara's punches.

Rosado doesnt put up the pressure or relentless body attack and stamina angulo put up or any other 154lb fighter not canelo or anyone, with that said only floyd beats lara at 154lb ,learn how to watch boxing!

So false statement. A lot of people thought he lost against Molina, and had the fight went to 12 rounds Angulo could've won, you saw the judges scorecards? Don't say crap like this, honestly I think Trout and Canelo beat Lara, but that's just my opinion.

Rosado's not stopping Lara; he's not even beating him. Gabe's not in Erislandy's league. Okay, so Lara had trouble with Angulo, whom we all thought he'd dominate. Big deal. Alfredo was in terrific shape and brought non-stop pressure until the end. That's what allowed "Perro" to take it to Landy for as long as he did. Rosado doesn't have the requisite skills, experience, power and persistent pressure to defeat Lara.

Gabe is a tough kid, but Angulo's tougher. Erislandy stopped him by breaking his face. I see this match-up as being a return to Lara's usual practice of economical, sharp-shooting offense, leading to a decision win. The reason why Erislandy was so uncharacteristically active versus Angulo was because he was constantly forced to keep "Perro" off of him. Rosado isn't bringing that kind of pressure.

What league is lara in? Gabe shouldn't be underestimated in any fight at 154 or 160

Rosado isn't as durable, but he brings better physical attributes and has more skill than Angulo.

But J'Leon had no pop behind his punches. Lara does have a bit of sting in his.

Lara has more than sting in his punches.

Mayweather has sting. Lara has legit power. Not monstrous power but you gotta respect his punch.

Lara has good power, not awesome power, good power. He's taken plenty of guys out early and he broke Angulo's orbital bone. These are not the signs of a feather-fisted boxer. "Perro" is one tough hombre, so he was able to walk through a lot of shots...until his face caved in, that is.

I think he's not, he took Golovkins dinamite punches and he took them very well, If the took Golovkin punches you can be sure he can take Lara's punches.

Rosado moved around a lot in the early stages of his fight with Golovkin, until he was forced to stand still to conserve energy. That was when GGG moved in and began the dismantling. If Gabe had fought that way from the start, the fight probably would've been over in four rounds. Sure Lara doesn't hit as hard as Gennady, but Rosado won't think he's being tickled, either.

But Angulo stopped him in two, who Lara just stopped lol.

Again, I like Gabe, but he isn't beating Lara

Mayweather is in a league of his own. Lara is in there with Cotto, Alvarez and Trout. Erislandy could beat, or lose to, any one of those guys. Rosado can't be mentioned in the same breath as any of the above. That doesn't mean Gabe can't make for a fun fight, or even a competitive fight with those guys, but he couldn't conceivably be favored over any of them. Rosado is a solid pro, not much more.

This may be so, but it doesn't make Rosado a better bet than Angulo. Besides, you know the deal, bro: styles make fights. Lara has trouble with pressure guys, and "Perro" is relentless, not to mention hard-hitting. Gabe can't bring the necessary pressure to trouble Erislandy. Would it be a good fight? Why not? But Rosado would lose to the more experienced, just-as-athletic, much more skilled Lara.
