Lemieux is a beast, it would be a good fight against GGG. :)
Rosado is a decent boxer for a guy with such a short amateur career. Been in with some of the best of them and holds his own. But his defense is lacking and he cuts easily. He’s got a lot of heart. RESPECT. He makes it exciting too. Gotta get some more wins under his belt though.
Well, after viewing this for the second time as part of my build-up to Lemieux vs GGG, I can tell without a doubt that both these guys are warriors. My fellow Quebecer Lemieux has such a beautiful, fluid style. When he encountered problems he took a few steps back, bounced a little and went to work again.
Glad the ref and the judges aren’t as savage as they are in Russia, and you will know what I mean if you saw Lebedev fighting Jones. Good stoppage at a time when Rosado had virtually no chance of coming back. I was impressed by the big crowd considering Rosado’s record. That’s what is call stealing one’s fans away by Lemieux :)
