    But his whole demeanor and way of talking just seems like an act. It's also pretty weird how he tries to talk black so to speak. If any of you have followed him on snapchat he's used the n word multiple times. It feels a lot like watching that kid who was always trying to speak like mayweather and Broner.
    I think you have a point, but in no way is Gabe a "great fighter"...

      who gives a f#ck?


      he's a gatekeeper, and he's been in very fun fights. boxing needs guys like him.

      his demeanor is probably a product of his upbringing and geography. i don't think he's acting more than any other boxer who tries to market himself in public.


      i don't use the twitter as much as i used to, but i remember rosado taking time out of his day to appreciate fans. i think he's a decent guy. he fills a role that boxing needs. he's good enough to get on network TV and test an up and coming fighter, or a fighter who is at a crossroads. he takes a good punch, has decent enough technique and power to be a threat. it's a spectacle to see him swell up and bleed all over the place.

        You are half on it... Rosado sounds like he's from Philly. Garcia sounds like he's from Philly. That's all it is... but really... the Philly sound is disingenuous?!?! Laughable.
        ... Garcia does sound like BS in a grade school cafeteria, though.

            Difference is they have no excuse they grew up in this country. Point is the young,American,urban fighters remind them of the guys who used to pick on them in highschool (probably still do). Well adjusted non beta type dudes don't even notice anything weird in the way "those type" of fighters act because they aren't viewed as a threat and we can just enjoy the sport without making it about "I hope he loses because he reminds me of the guy who used to smack me around back in the day"
            ...or maybe because it's corny as hell and only ******s can idolize such insecure "personality".
