Just was watching some film on him. He's always in good shape, pretty good technically which makes sense since he was a good enough amateur.
Pretty good fighter on the inside, keeps good distance and range and has a decent jab. And his straight right hand looks pretty dangerous, dangerous enough at least to make someone be cautious on the way in.
Not getting into what his ranking is, just from film and also from who he has fought I really don't think he will be a walkover for GGG. We will see. Regardless I would like to see Rolls against someone else at MW because I don't think he will get run through by others quite so easily.
Resume wise he KD and beat Nicholson - who drew Aleem, who drew/lost to Korobov, who pretty much drew with Charlo. By that logic he barely beat a guy, who tied with a guy, who barely lost to Charlo and Korobov. Would put him about on their level.
If GGG's jab can land and keep Rolls on the back foot, I think GGG can get him out of there and fairly early. But otherwise it may be a bit of a chess match until the later rounds. GGG ain't getting any younger either so he could always get caught.
Just my 2 cents from looking at Rolls - if someone has a different breakdown I would be interested in hearing it.
