Sergio beat a younger, fresher Macklin. Sergio is old and on the slide and I don't buy just because a fighter dealt with someone better a year or two later they're better. Its a triangle theory. Its easy to break a rock once its already been cracked.
Hes like Donaire when he is forced to pressure. Gets frustrated when shown movement, telegraphs shots leaving himself wide open. Hes Donaire-esque at times, a poor mans Chavez clone.
Rosado showed me he can be outboxed and Rosado really isn't that good of a boxer, hes a boxer second. When he faces a decent boxer who isn't scared to death or contempt on shelling up on the ropes he'll get unbuttoned IMO
I am not saying Pirog would win but hes capable. I think a disciplined Jacobs if his chin holds up is another.
I just don't think hes all that. Just don't let the guy set himself. I seen Rosado outboxing him in parts, turning him and frustrating him. He looked very beatable to me and he is a damn sucker for the uppercut. I see flaws, I don't think his defense is anywhere near as good as people, pundits, experts might want to make out, hes just fought nobody willing to take any risks apart from Ouma & Rosado in parts and when they did let their hands go, they couldn't miss. In fact I'd of liked to of seen Rosado put some combinations together instead of single shots. He had good success but was to a bit too respectful - He probably would of got stopped sooner as hes not that good I'd of just liked to of seen him believe in himself a bit more.
