These BKB bouts are interesting... I hope to see a top/elite fighters participate in these exhibitions. It's a circled ring without ropes. It promotes lots of actions from both fighters.

Ya'll never heard of BKB ?

Well its not really boxing, pretty much just fist fighting. They wear tiny 4oz gloves and stand on a kickboxing mat and just bludgeon each other for 10 mins.

Is that really true? I thought other than the ring, everything else is pretty much boxing regulations.

I saw Rosado vs Vera and they both look like they are wearing 10oz gloves for their weight.

Are you sure about the glove weight???

Guys like Stevens are in a weird position. So short and squat... Can generate a lot of power, but must be in range.

Too muscular to suck down to 154, or even 147 where most guys his frame-size belong.

But the BKB rules shoud favor Stevens. He's got a good chin, and Rosado won't have the room needed to fully take advantage of his reach and size. Rosado is tougher, definitely, but Stevens hits harder, and in close will be able to utilize his shorter arms to turn over hooks, and uppercuts.

The rules were changed in order to get the bouts sanctioned properly in nevada. Gloves are 8-10 oz as per usual.

Won't even count on their record because they are not sanctioned bouts? I would like to see these two fight in a real professional bout.

i cant believe this fight could not get on an under card or even televised on espn or something this is going to be a very entertaining fight

It's on PPV. That's a step up from some network like BET or Spike. Maybe Ward should try this! He could finally be a PPV star. LOL

Rosado and Stevens both bottom feeders

Rosado and Stevens are two bottom feeders meeting up in a fight no one is going to watch. Nice careers. How about toll booth school?

I think if Rosado didn't get cut so easily he would be a good boxer.
