Comments Thread For: Jeison Rosario Batters Julian Williams For TKO in Five, Shocker To Win Titles

... Rosario is intelligent and strong -- in his last three fights (before this one) he stopped two guys at the middleweight...

I’m sure there was an immediate rematch clause

Yes, it was... and J-Rock even called for the rematch... but we'll see...

Hurd didn't want the J-Rock rematch, in fact... maybe J-Rock will do the same vs Rosario...

It's a pity Breadman most likely won't post his analysis on this one... he was not commenting on the Charlo loss when it happened. Understandable, but we as fans miss out on good analysis. This is an upset of Joshua - Ruiz magnitude.

From my point of view, Hurd win got to JRock's head. But also, Rosario was better than expected. And JRock could not and should not have gone into exchanges with the guy. But easier said than done... I suspect the rematch will be a combination of long-range boxing with body shots, staying out of exchanges and trying to get Rosario into the championship rounds (if immediate rematch happens). Easier said than done though... on paper JRock has longer reach, but it didn't show in the fight.

Good scrap. Lots of respect for both guys, great attitude from Williams in defeat. No excuses made. Rosario, happy to see his hard work pay off.

He'll take the immediate rematch and win. He needed this L to be humbled again. Got extremely ****y after winning belt.

Cong**** to Jeison Rosario for leading upset of the year. May we see a few more by the end of 2020.

Rosario was a pleasant surprise...
... He showed up full of smiles and relaxed at the weigh-in... later, in the fight, he displayed good strength and a wide variety of punches... unfortunately, Rosario doesn't hold much defensive skills...
