Fight was a bit underwhelming to be honest. Dont get me wrong decent fight but was just expecting more of what we say in the 4th/5th round but Rosado has taken a lot of punishment over his career and Lemieux is a ****er so the hesitation was understandable.

[Ham Porter]

Rosado's managment need to properly rebuild him and put in with some easy fights for the next year. It really isn't healthy managment to keep throwing him in these tough fights consecutively.

[Da Machine]

LMAO, switching to UFC cause of the hype, and once you watch boxing for the night then watch that ****, I literally said wtf out loud. Joke status.

[KRITKL]

yeah GGG would hurt this guy, but what happens when DL lands on GGG

would be an exciting fight, but Rosado did stagger DL a few times tonight

I'd love to see the fight, and would like to see how GGG takes his punches, but Stevenson couldn't slow down GGG and DL is there for a counter looks like a MW Darchinyan hands down rushing looking to land punches.

He did. He had to reset himself a few times tonight and successfully did it. He showed some patience, less bull rushing. Rosado man he is tough. Lemieux landed a HUGE right hand in that last round that looked like was going to take gabe's face off, but he took it.

His new-found patience and improved gas tank will serve him well against the top guys. I can see him chasing N'Dam around and stopping him, and maybe he'd beat Quillin too.

Rosado adds another L to his record, but he lost well as he usually does. He absorbed one too many body shots and he didn't have enough gas to fight back at the end. I think he should take a little break and let the wounds heal, maybe go back to BKB or fight Angulo in a cross-roads rematch. It's crazy that he's the only MW to have fought GGG and Quillin. I think Rosado will be cemented as a gatekeeper after this one, which isn't a knock. Soto-Karass has been in this role for years and he's doing fine. He isn't skilled/talented enough to beat the top guys, but he'll be a test for the up-and-comers. It seems like he wants to give acting a try, can't keep taking facial punishment if he wants to make it in Hollywood! lol.

GGG's jab would pose the greatest challenge to Lemieux.

Very good observation.

[HooksNJabs]

I respect Gabe man. He is a warrior. I didn't think the fight would be that exciting. It was decent though

[BostonGuy]

I'm gonna go against my gut and say that Rosado TKOs Lemieux late in the fight. I'm rooting for Gabe and I think he looked really sharp against Vera in his BKB fight a couple month ago; he's also working with a new trainer. I hope my gut is wrong tonight.

Moral of the story: go with you gut.
