Comments Thread For: Rosado Expects Fight of the Year Candidate with Quillin

[mike gonzalez]

On a serious note

I expect it to be a great fight

I expect a good fight, not great, but good. Rosado is a pretty good b level fighter.

I thought Rosado was doing quite well against Golovkin, until the cut was too bad. This isn't some weird triangle theory-esque argument, and I realise Golovkin and Quillin are quite different, but I think Rosado has a decent chance here. I don't see what Quillin offers here other than his power. We saw with Golovkin that Rosado can take shots, and stay away from them whilst boxing/moving a little.

Never understood why people are so high on Quillin, arguing he's possibly the best MW. Nothing against him i've just not seen it myself

I actually thought Rosado got thoroughly outboxed by Golovkin. Hell Golovkin put on a boxing clinic IMO. But I thought he was tough as hell and I became a Rosado fan after that fight. With that said I agree, I think Rosado is a live dog and has a good chance at beating Quillin

Good interview. Funny how reading an article can make you see someone in a different light. Gabe sounds like a decent guy with some real grit. I anticipate a good fight; but if Rosado expects "fight of the year," he might get stopped. Qullin certainly isn't the best middleweight out there; but he's good, and he can ****. GGG might be the more ferocious hitter, but that doesn't mean Gabe will see the final bell versus the Kid. I have a feeling Pete will look to end this early. In any case, this should be entertaining.

Well both this ^ and the post above. Before the GGG fight all I knew 'bout Gabe was he was a hard workin' JMW who'd dropped a title shot to fight Golovkin.

He showed the world the heart of a fighter 'gainst GGG tho, and made a whole lotta new fans, myself included.

He's shown the heart and I think Gabe's actually a better size fit at MW (he was godamn huge for a JMW) specially as he gets into his late 20s.

I also see him improving, both growing into the MW division and benefiting from being able to train full time. Damn, nearly everyone knew he shoulda got the J'LL decision, just sorta glad at least it ended up an NC rather than a loss.

That's what he has to watch again tho, fighting on a GBP card, 'gainst their top 160lb guy, Gabe needs to look for the KO. Kid C's got summin' but I think Gabe ain't far off, Quillin ain't that special.

I'm not gonna expect the upset (and that's what it'll take for Gabe to end the night a champion), but I think Rosado has a shot and I, for one, am gonna be rooting for 'King' Rosado.

After getting a controversial decision against Love, Gab has to be thinking KO. And if Gab can knockdown a LHW then he can knock down Quillian. Lets get it on!

[Southpawology]

Hope rosado pulls it off

[illmaticfighter]

i think gabe can outwork quillen but quillen powers is very impressive if he hurts gabe that's all she wrote

[Hougigo]

Gabes been saying he hasn't fully made it into the weightclass his last two fights....lets see how he does here.

[mike gonzalez]

This should be an interesting fight

I wished they would of announce the fight earlier all the good ticket are gone, dammit. I once dropped by the gym and saw and spoke with Peter Quillin, his hand speed was awesome.
