    i think rosado is the better fighter overall but i think h2h lemieux beats him and does so in brutal fashion.

    rosado does get hit, he is a solid boxer but he isnt all that hard to find and he has a solid chin but its not iron either. lemieux hits like a mule, i actually think he is the hardest puncher at MW (yes, ggg included) and easily one of the hardest punchers p4p.

    his skills are somewhat weak and he is a bit chinny himself. but rosado isnt that big a puncher and like i said, i dont think he is slick enough to hold lemieux off constantly like he will have to. he will probably be winning the fight until lemieux lands a bomb sometime within 3-4 rounds.

      I think about the same, Rosado could be winning the rounds before he gets ko'd but will be hit and hurt Lemieux hits like a train a very dangerous MW.

        Going with the Philly native. I've actually not seen much on Lemieux. Will probably watch a few more of his fights and make a more informed decision.

          I'm picking and rooting for Rosado. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Gabe Rosado - he's had to work hard for any breaks in his career. He's fought really good competition, hasn't always come out on top, but he gives it his all and believes he can win. I think he gave Golovkin his toughest fight to date, so he knows how to **** with a big puncher.

          I got Rosado by TKO 6

            It depends on Rosado's chin (which has proven to be solid against GGG and Quillin). If he could weather the storm early, Lemieux might be in for a long grueling night. Is Lemieux tougher than Rosado? I think not....

              I think Lemieux has a better chance of winning, but I'm riding with Rosado.

              Not sure if Rosado will have the punch to keep Lemieux off him.

                Going with Lemieux, I like the subtle improvements in his last two fights with Torres & UpShaw, I think he's maturing. The Rubio fight was a mess, not only was he punching himself out, but he let Rubio set him up as he lunged in. Then I chalk the Alcine fight up to David not being mentally recovered from the Rubio fight.

                I don't see Lemieux KOing Rosado, I suspect he'll show Gabe considerable respect. What I do see is Gabe's face breaking open late in the fight and the fight being stopped on cuts. David is alot like Stevens with all that power, but he's a little better at setting up his offense. When Gabe stands his ground he gets hit flush.

                  Lemieux is going to shred Rosados face then stop him in late rds. I know Lemieux has a few losses but those were from being gassed and throwing bombs and not pacing himself and being smart. He is not just a bomber, he has some skills too. Rosado is a skilled kid but he is pretty much a gatekeeper now.

                    Lemieux has 5-6 rounds worth a oxygen in his tank, if he hasn't won by then, Gabe will beat him easily.

                    Going with Rosado 9th TKO

                      Rosado's face won't make it the distance..

                      I think Lemieux is peaking in his career, and rosado is alittle worn down


                      Should be an excellent fight
