Brian Rose is a tough mother f***er.....

I tell you. I had him a definite level below Maciel, although Maciel isn't super and was sure he'd get stopped. He took EVERYTHING Maciel threw at him and came back almost every time with clean shots. He's not great by any stretch, but what a tough mother f***er for sucking it up with a badly damaged nose to keep focussed, patient and pick the shots well right to the final bell. MANY a fighter would have folded under the barrages that Maciel threw at him so I give him all the credit in the world. Very close fight that could have gone either way with lots of close rounds I thought.

Good luck to him what ever fight he gets after that. He deserves a decent payday and atleast a bonus for that fight last night. Seems a good lad too. Just thought I'd say my piece after having him down for a certain stoppage loss. WRONG. The guy deserves respect.

Enjoyed that last night , he did well for himself.

I thought Maciel nicked it. Rose is alright.

Brian Rose is a fine boxer,! BUT he could not knock the skin off a rice pudding.;D
