Whew, good save Jack. I've been seeing Rosado's name all week, and I knew that he had to be fighting on NBC. Glad that I dont have to wait til 11PM (EST) to watch some boxing!

i like that kid rosado...not bad.

Me too!

I remember this Antwone Smith dude from a FNF bout. Cant quite remember who he fought though.

Yup. You should also remember Cruz because he previously fought Prenice 'Keeping it Real' Brewer on NBCSports.

Cruz is working Smith in the 5th...

Yeah, Smith lost the nice handwork that he had in the first two to three rounds.

Nice, Smith has regained the handwork. That jab was very, very crisp in the first two rounds.

Smith stops throwing again, but credit to Cruz for keeping up the pressure.

Nice body work by Cruz in the 8th.

Smith is about to get stopped soon....

Nevermind...

Ha!

Kovalev is about to end this one quick!

Jab is too symbolic...

Jesus that was ugly knockdown!!!

...and it's over...Kovalev by KO in the 3rd round. Impressive

It would've been interesting to see how he would've looked against his original opponent, Gabriel Campillo. Maybe Campillo would win?

Im guessing that Michelle Rosado is Gabriel's (Rosado) sister. I saw her in Vegas last weekend at the Vargas card at the Hard Rock, and I must say, that ass is PHAT!!!

Great boxing!

But man! That first fight was a ROBBERY!!! Jeepers fuck!!! I had it a near shutout for the favorite! LOL! 96-94? What's up with that shit?! The fights were good though. The Russian had huge power, and Rosato-Whitaker was good as well.

My Uncle (Kevin Morgan...By Marriage) was one of the judges for the Rosado-Whitaker fight. I went to my aunt 50th birthday party and we chopped it up about boxing. He's a pactard. I told him that we host Mayweather fight parties and he went ham.

Funny.

no relation...but i'm diggin that chic too!

for the record...

i don't think rosado is ready for canelo. he's come a long way...but they should continue to build him up. whitaker landed some really clean hooks that had rosado doing a funny dance. canelo's left hook is his best punch.

Completely agree. I think Rosado may have a good chance (or two) to land a couple of "154 lb" shots on Canelo, but I dont think he makes it to the final bell. When Rosado wants to brawl, he does just that. Dont think that helps him down the stretch.
