Rosado is a club bum. He's gonna get worked.

I don't think much of the Canadian either. I just think Rosado loses like he always does.

Don't forget his comeback tuneup fight vs Alcine in wich he was beaten. Lemieux is nothing but power. I got Rosado winning that one.

Great fight, but I got Gabe in this one. UD or late stoppage. I do agree that Lemieux has improved though - this one has all the makings of a war.

About his cuts though, apparently Gabe's had the scar tissue around his eyes surgically removed - which was probably a smart investment. GGG ripped him up bad, and, as you say, cuts have been a major problem since. Hopefully that shouldn't be such an issue anymore.

Yeah we'll see if that surgery holds up, but Lemieux will definitely test Gabe's face. There's not many guys in the sport who put as much torque into their power punches as Lemieux. Not only did Lemieux punch himself out against Rubio, but he was genuinely hurt while recklessly diving in against Rubio. I think we'll see Gabe on the backfoot again like against Golovkin, and less pressure like against Quillin.

Rosado is always confident but his power isn't that great in boxing. I know with those other gloves he beat Vera who has had plenty of miles in the ring but I don't see him matching Lemieux's power, speed and aggression. It will be like the GGG fight all over again but I won't be surprised if Lemieux KOs Rosado.

Rosado beat Vera in BKB with 10oz gloves.

Rubio is a hard hitter, with a one hitter quitter.

This is a great matchup, Rosados fight to lose. Rosado better not get sloppy, only way he loses is on cuts.

Lemieux has a lot of power, but is so raw and wild, he does not seem to know how to land much of it. He does show small improvements here and there, like how he was timing Guerrero's jab and countering it, but it is too little. Rosado is the type that if you want to hurt him, you need to land clean on him a lot, and I just don't see Lemieux able to do it enough.

Lemieux will start fast. Rosado will be very defensive early to weather the storm. Lemieux starts gassing by the 5th. Rosado will come on, and stop him between the 6th and 8th.
