Not sure what this fight means (apart from boosting the winner towards another title shot) but Hearn, going way over the top (or maybe not), called it a possible best fight ever. Now Rosado is a Gatti-ish fighter, however, he's not as good, doesn't possess an equalizer and never wins a big fight.
Murray has never been a tear-up merchant, he's a hard-as-nails, fundamentally solid fighter that knows how to look after himself. Unfortunately he doesn't possess any fireworks, so like Rosado loses all the big, big ones (unlucky against Serg/Felix). Murray is back down to middle after feeling a million times stronger at supermiddle... until Groves duffed him up.
Anyway - good matchup that will be full of claret, busted boats and ooohhs and ahhhs.
Good undercard fight too for the British title. Ryder was impressive - for this level - against Etches, winning easily (unless you was listening to Richie Woodhall, who must have been half-cut).
