Steve Rolls is not that bad - change my mind

[MulaKO]

Lol thanks man. Best post on here so far. Good insights and I think it will basically come down to if Rolls is able to do anything to frustrate GGG and slow him down.

As you pointed out, Rolls appears to have some good inside game when it gets there. Looks like he tries to hit and then grab/hold and do some work on the inside. Murray tied GGG up quite often and it delayed his KO. Wade tried to but wasn't able to pull it off.

If GGG is finding the jab early, which I expect, he should back Rolls up and Rolls will probably be dinner after that. Maybe a few

I think Rolls keeps good distance though and has a decent right hand to keep GGG honest enough. But if GGG is finding the jab it's probably over early for Rolls.

I just don’t think he has enough power to keep GGG off of him
To get inside of his opponent he will need to set it up with his jab and I didn’t notice any snap on it
Once he tries to clinch , GGG will make him pay
And that distance factor you speak of will be very difficult to maintain going backwards
GGG is older ( not yet done by any means ) but still fast enough to catch and punish Rolls on his back foot

Good post, I think you are probably spot on here with your analysis.

I hope Rolls is getting paid well for this fiasco
I really don’t believe at his age and standard , he’ll have enough time in his career to get another crack at anything
I tip my hat to him for taking this fight and cannot be blamed for any wrong doing on his part
He’s just portraying the part

[-Kev-]

35 years old.
20 fights.
10KO’s vs no names.
Hasn’t beaten anyone of note.

He is there to get GGG back in the W column. Nothing else.

This is what GGG was feasting on pre Jacobs/Canelo.

I'm not hyping him up and even if I was why would I change my name. Not like I'm on here saying a guy sucks and then admitting I never actually watched him fight lol.

Even if GGG rolls through him that doesn't really mean he sucks anyway. GGG rolled through just about everyone he faced and some of those guys are most certainly better than Rolls.

What exactly is this thread about ????

''Of course Rolls doesn't stand a chance...but he's not that bad......I've just now seen footage of him and it changed my perception (even if he gets destroyed).'' ??????

Do tell

...he's been portrayed as a 100 or whatever MW and from looking at him I think it's pretty clear he is top 20 or so. That was my point.

Nothing in his resume suggests he can really hang with GGG...but nothing I've seen suggests there are 100 guys or whatever better than him at MW

Good lord, you left yourself a ton of wiggle room when you made this thread.

Rolls isn't worth a thread.
Nothing about his fight footage will alter the outcome.
He will be forgotten immediately after GGG destroys him.

Rolls is somewhere in the 3rd tier or worse category of GGG opponents imo. Maybe better than Wade, who is worse than 3rd tier.

Canelo Jacobs - top tier

Brook, Murray, Monroe, Lemieux, Ouma, Stevens, Macklin, Geale, Proksa, Vanes, Rubio, Adama, Ishida, Rosado -2nd or 3rd tier

Probably about in order in that above group.

Rolls - maybe 3rd tier
Wade - below 3rd tier

Dude - the thread is titled "Steve Rolls isn't that bad, change my mind"

As I have said, people say he is around 100 or we at MW. I think he is around 20 or so. That is why I made the thread and wanted to get the thoughts of others.

You admitted you haven't even seen him fight so I don't know why you keep commenting, and even trying to claim superiority here.

There are a lot of things I don't think merit threads - this one has a lot of comments so people can decide for themselves it if merits a response. You've been in here all day so if it's waste of time why are you here?

Typical 'fan' on here who is so tribal they can't even have a decent boxing discussion because to them everything revolves around propping up their fighter and hating the other guy.

Have a nice day man. You seem like a pretty garbage person tbh but I hope I'm wrong about that.

''Yeah, Rolls is in the trash category (but not the absolute bottom of the barrel ). His fight footage impressed me somewhat and heres a thread to prove it ''
